Ok - I've had a few ideas that never got off the ground here. Freemium hall of fame. Specialist list. 1v1 Callout Thread. .... Revival of Guess that Song from the Lyrics thread. This one is actually one I'd really like to see take off.
By posting in this thread, you can designate to the rest of the site that you are a "Real Time" opponent. I'm not talking about playing a speed games... you've got to thing fast in speed games, and I for one don't do that. I'm not talking about freestyle, which is more a race of you connection speed and your keyboard / mouse dexterity. I'm talking about simple standard / team / assassin / or terminator games. But you don't want them to take ages to finish. You want to find people who check their account more than once a day (even though once a day is fine... I'm not saying there's anything wrong with you if you don't play more than once a day... but that doesn't mean those of us that do shouldn't have a way of identifying ourselves. So here goes...
Pledge of the guild of fast players (the "Guild):
1) I will use a notifier to check my games during the hours I list on my pledge entry (remember to indicate time zone).
2) If I am in a game with other Guild members where we are both online at the same time, I will attempt to play real time. Real time means making your move within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the prior opponents move, i.e., < 15 minutes later unless there is a post in the game chat that someone needs to take a break... in which case I will suggest a time to resume real time play.
3) I will indicate my participation in the guild by posting in this thread. Unless my online status is hidden, other members of the guild can look at this thread to see who is online and will contact me by PM or live chat (mentioning the guild) if they are interested in a pick up game of real time. I don't have to accept the challenge, and will decline unless I can play real time or we both agree in advance not to play real time.
4) If I choose not to participate in the guild, I will edit my original post in this thread to say that I am withdrawing from the Guild.
5) If I choose, I will indicate in my avatar, sig or profile page something that indicates that I am a member of the real time guild, so that other guild members can identify me.
6) I will not spam up this list of guild members.
That's basically it. Anyone interested? I'm trying not to make this a clan for now... I want it to be something more casual, something that doesn't involve clan wars, allegiances, etc.... but maybe at some point we can get a dedicated usergroup I'm thinking...
