It's np, I think Cyd can do Friday, just need to wait on #156 to give the thumbs up to the change!
Thanks I have accepted. Cyd team leader has contacted me, but could team leaders of 156 and HBZ please contact me at NS2HD@live.com.au to discuss the upcoming matches?
Game tonight? My calendar is booked for Aus EST Sunday 0600 (~2200 Saturday France?) NVM if you didn't want me there, just checking to make sure you're not expecting me to be there and then I don't show due to calendar mixup...

Thats exactly the time I'm informed that the game will take place. Maybe banny was talking about another game or he mixed something up?
Might have been a mixup... All good! Be sure to let me know if it changes though! Also, I've had contact not from Team #156 and Cyd team leaders, just waiting on HBZ now.
The reason I am chasing is to absolutely confirm start times to avoid the ... incident ... last week (haha!) and also to invite team leaders to do a pre and post match interview to go up with the game commentary.
okay, now 180 is out and marines are nearly invincible.
I suggest to change the rules. Forget about the 3-hydra rule, because an ARC can easily go through hydras. besides that the rule is from the time without RPK.. so the rule is nearly useless. Instead we should limit the turretspam.
Lets say 4 turrets per hivelocation the marines are controlling. what do you think?
In my opinion it is important or the match tonight will be endless.

that is as saying we have no bilebomb, but in the beginning of the game marines have turrets. (or Shotguns)
I donÄt think that this is a good argument, because hydraspam will only occur in the lategame. in earlygame there are a maximum of 3 hydras per gorge. And a gorge doesn't go out kill marines to get new resources. In fact, the most alien players will save for the fade or go lerk in the earlygame.
And in the lategame, wenn the hydras getting spammed then you have the arc - and the GL.
That is why I think, we don't need a hydralimitation.

i think it's good and ithink hydra's early spam is a risky strat like a "all-in" for me the hydra spam is a problem for the lag, not a OP thing, since 178 i haven't see a situation where the hydra was "cheat".
Im looking for a clan/team, but there dosent seem to be any UK or EU (english speaking)... Anyway, my in game name is JayArc. Message me if you looking for a good player for your clan, or just need someone to fill in on clan matches. Im based in the UK. Thanks Jay.

I can't wait see a match on 180.
I suggest to change the rules.

Instead we should limit the turretspam.
Lets say 4 turrets per hivelocation the marines are controlling.
what do you think?
In my opinion it is important or the match tonight will be endless.
an hydra AND turret-limitation.
as marines can pick up weapons, there is no need for turrets. but we need definitely a limitation if we allow turrets.
that is as saying we have no bilebomb, but in the beginning of the game marines have turrets. (or Shotguns)
I donÄt think that this is a good argument, because hydraspam will only occur in the lategame.
in earlygame there are a maximum of 3 hydras per gorge.

I agree!

gg to both teams !
But next time we play on a US-server (preferably east coast) to even out the ping lag you all had ;-)

I am if you are!
Yey :D
It's a shame he plays in alien view 100% of the time, lose all the visuals and blood!
I love the casts, NS2HD is really going the extra mile here with all that additions, good job!
P.S. I was just notified that the bar ran out of pain. There might still be a can of whoopass in these ugly shelves though :p
yea it's a shame, but I do it too. that's why we need <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=114172" target="_blank">twiliteblues alien vision</a> or something similar.
fun game to watch nonetheless!
