PKMN.NET Community Games Night #1

[Del]

Hey guys, so we were talking in IRC and we thought it might be cool if we had like a community games night, where we all decide on a game and play it together for a bit.

It would hopefully be some sort of weekly or fortnightly event, where every week we have a bit of a discussion about what game we would all play and then we'd play it. The kinds of games we could play could be pretty much everything, but obviously it's best if it's something that is either owned by a lot of people, or free and easy to run/play etc.

A few ideas that were thrown about in IRC consisted of stuff like;

• Dota 2
• Cards Against Humanity
• Team Fortress 2

etc.

Would anyone be interested in this? Also feel free to suggest games if you have anything you think might be fun!

Discussions:

• First Night Discussion

What is Game Night?! =D

but nah I'd be down for CAH or something that requires no skill whatsoever (as long as I didn't have work)

[SirBlaziken]

I'd be up for it, but I can't do stuff like TF 2 because of my netbook. CAH and stuff like that I can however, but don't let that stop you from picking other things.

It turns out Pretend Your Xyzzy got shut down because of constant DDOS attacks. We were tossing around the idea of Gmod in the chat though. Mostly Prop Hunt, TTT, and Murder.

[The Macintosh Ninja: SOH CAH TOA]

I would be down for some Gmod. Hopefully it wouldn't lag too much with some of us being in different countries.
TF2 has a prop hunt that I feel is superior to Gmod's though, and given TF2's free status it would be easier for members to access. If not enough people get together, we could also run some L4D.
As for Pretend You're Xyzzy being DDoS'd, there is the alternative in Tabletop Simulator, but that one has a pricetag. A quick Google search brought up Decks against Society, which requires registering (without email). Another option is Cardtrocity, which looks like a CaH clone with built in video chat support. I haven't tried either of these two, so don't get all uppity if they 'splode your computer or something.

[Dorchadas]

I could be down for some magic, yu-gi-oh, or obviously pokemon, but that's nearly impossible without skype or something like that.

You all should be playing Dominion.

[Kpyna]

We also could do Civ, I totally forgot.

EDIT: Monster Hunter too!

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Could we include MK X when it comes out in April? If so then I'm in. Although the games I have that incorporate online interaction are the Pokemon games, SF IV 3D Edition, and Mortal Kombat 2011.

Civ is amazing, would definitely be cool to play that. (Although games do take /forever/, even on quick xD)

Well, what me and my friends did is we tried to do a normal length game and just meet up at the same time every week until we got it done. I definitely don't think we could do it all in one shot!

[Captain Jigglypuff]

What about a Minecraft night? I just started playing the game but I am interested in trying to play online with others.

[Kpyna]

We spoke about this, we'd just need somebody who'd be willing to run a dedicated server. I'd personally love to, but it's simply not possible when I'm at school.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Well I don't know how to set a server up.

Start the game in the industrial or modern age. Won't take as long then.
