This happening today?

Coffee Warlord · 09-24-2006, 07:50 PM

It's off this week, unless someone wants to download the savegame from me and host. I can't run it on my machine tonight, actually have to do some work tonight, thusly tying up my resources.

Getting food poisoning a week before a major website goes live sucks.

ausonny · 09-24-2006, 07:51 PM

I'll do it if there are enough people who want are playing tonight.

Katon · 09-24-2006, 08:14 PM

I'm around.

ausonny · 09-24-2006, 08:16 PM

Looks like there's 2 of us.

Guess this game is dead.

Katon · 09-24-2006, 08:28 PM

Seems that way. Oh well. Time for some Civ 4, then.

SirFozzie · 09-24-2006, 08:42 PM

I was out, but hopefully if this game dies we can run a smaller game sometime

Mike1409 · 10-01-2006, 06:09 PM

Are we on for tonight?

Coffee Warlord · 10-01-2006, 07:37 PM

I think this is pretty much dead. With the very few people around last week, and the fact it's just so damn slow with that many people, I think we take this as a learning experience and wait for FM2007.

Pumpy Tudors · 10-01-2006, 08:34 PM

I'm afraid that it was just too slow for me. I also have completely forgotten about this the past two weeks until it's already been going, so I haven't stepped in. Do we have any idea if FM2007 will work better?

Vinatieri for Prez · 10-01-2006, 11:50 PM

Yeah, it sounds like a great idea, but just doesn't work in practice. I think it comes down to the fact that a "real time" sports sim is not a very good MP game, especially when you have to all play at the same time. I can't see FM 2007 being any different.

SirFozzie · 10-02-2006, 12:15 AM

there was just too many folks. FM style games work best when there's 5 or less I think

Vinatieri for Prez · 10-02-2006, 01:29 AM

Yeah, but 5 guys in an entire FM universe is almost like playing SP anyway, isn't it? Especially after one or two seasons (with promotion/relegation) where there's a chance you're not even in the same division anymore.
