I'm in.

Stratos · « **Reply #451 on:** March 13, 2010, 12:38:37 AM »

OK. I'm joining up now.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #452 on:** March 13, 2010, 12:50:55 AM »

It keeps saying "unable to connect to host" when I try to join you. I invited you, try to join up when you finish your game.

EDIT: I can't seem to connect to you. I managed to connect to a random game, though.

Same here. Not sure what's up with that.

Sounds good mates.

I just connected with Stratos, I wonder if it is a problem on Insanolord's end?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #455 on:** March 13, 2010, 02:09:26 AM »

I'm worried the issue may be with my campus network, but I was able to play random matches and then spend some time with the Blur beta on Xbox Live, so it would have to be a very specific problem.

Would you like to try again?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #457 on:** March 13, 2010, 02:18:11 AM »

Not tonight; I've gotten into some other stuff and don't want to get too off schedule. My school's women's hockey team is in the NCAA tournament after being number one in the country all season; the last home game of the year is tomorrow afternoon and I intend to be there.

I'm sorry things didn't work out for you. Perhaps another time.
Have fun!

Stratos, where did you go? Are you finished for the night?

Stratos · « **Reply #460 on:** March 13, 2010, 03:43:39 AM »

I had to step out for a bit. GF got off of work. I also ran to Taco Bell

I'm game for more if you want to.

Insanolord, the problem came up before with us I think. The only way we seem to be able to play together is through Mop it up. School networks can be a big issue. Though your lucky you can actually play games. Mine blocked all game related sites (including IGN and NWR) and even blocked mySpace for a while my first year there and they laxed up a bit after that but you couldn't play games online. Networking/LAN worked alright.

My internet could also be an issue because I have no control of the settings. It's my friends in the apt above me and I pay him to use it. He has way to strict protections on it. I'm planning to get my own internet soon.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #461 on:** March 13, 2010, 03:59:58 AM »

Yeah, from what I've heard I seem to be pretty lucky in terms of school internet. We don't have any web filter or filter at all; we have to register the MAC addresses of any hardware to get them on the network, but after that there doesn't seem to be any kind of limit. I wasn't even thinking it was intentional by the college, but this was the first time I tried to play this online at school and the network was the only real difference, so I thought there might be an issue with that causing it.

Stratos · « **Reply #462 on:** March 13, 2010, 04:17:36 AM »

You could talk to the IT department about it.

EasyCure · « **Reply #463 on:** March 13, 2010, 09:24:27 PM »

I should be saving my money for my upcoming trip.. but I still wanna play this game with you guys, and i saw Target recently restocked it. I believe i'll be picking it up some time this week, so I want to announce it in advance that I'd like to play this weekend if anyone wants to school me in it

Stratos · « **Reply #464 on:** March 14, 2010, 04:04:32 AM »

Yay! more friends to shoot at. I so want to get a game set up where five of us link up and play random matches so we are always on the same team. Team NWR FTW!

No thanks. But if you want to have some team matches, let me know.

no thanks to what?

No thanks, I don't want to "school" you in the game. Learn it before you play online.

no better way to learn than to dive in..

Mop it up · « **Reply #469 on:** March 16, 2010, 07:33:27 PM »

I'd bet anything that half of my deaths are from the people who drop a grenade when they are killed. A significant portion is also probably self-destructs.

Anyways, would anyone like to play tonight?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #470 on:** March 16, 2010, 07:54:39 PM »

I can play later. Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are good for me, because my first class Monday and Wednesday isn't until 2:15, so I can be up really late, and I don't have classes at all on Fridays.

Stratos · « **Reply #471 on:** March 16, 2010, 08:05:56 PM »

I love having later classes. Sleeping in is awesome.

I just don't approach fallen bodies when I have the choice. Scared to do it. I actually now instinctively do it in Conduit was well. LOL

How does 11PM Eastern sound for you two?

I don't always see the people who get killed around me. There will be people who sneak up behind me who are killed by my teamies, then the corpse explodes near me. Or I'll follow the red dots on the radar to find the enemy, they'll get shot by my teamies, and I'll come around a corner to meet the explosion (the red dots don't disappear right when the enemy is killed). Plus those grenades have a pretty wide blast radius, so if I've already been shot then even a tap from it would kill me.

Stratos · « **Reply #473 on:** March 16, 2010, 09:13:11 PM »

I've learned to listen for the sound of the 'kill switch grenades'. You can hear when the hit the ground and try to make a break for it. I never notice the 'throw grenade back' icon until it is too late. You can do that too to help avoid them.

I've actually stoped using that as a perk because I've actually grown quite fond of the attached grenade launcher. I use that whenever I first spawn usually and switch over to conventional rounds once I use my shots up. It's really improved my game.

I may be available at that time. I want to finish posting the next mafia day before playing but I think by now I've gotten my groove with it so it hopefully won't take too long to get the day set up and rolls sent out.

Mop it up · « **Reply #474 on:** March 16, 2010, 09:25:51 PM »

I actually usually have my sound turned down low. Since this game has no music, I put on some myself. I guess that may not be the best idea. I don't think I've ever gotten the throw back button to work, usually I just end up pulling out my own grenade and that just makes things a whole lot worse.

Does the grenade launcher attachment not allow you to use the grenade drop perk? The grenade launcher replaces Perk 1 and the grenade drop perk is one of Perk 3. I don't know if I've ever actually tried it, so I don't know if there is some rule that you can't mix those perks.

Also, don't the days for the Mafia game end at 11PM Pacific? I said 11PM Eastern, which is 8PM Pacific. Though I'll probably still be up at 11PM Pacific since I've had a lot of caffiene today. I may not start at 11PM Eastern if I don't hear from Insanolord.
