Civil War Wednesday!

[Audiate]

The Excelsior Brigade Presents:
An NA PUBLIC Line Battle Event!

I hope everyone understands how this works. If not, I will explain, here:

Spoiler

A public line battle is when a regular line battle is organized, but allows people that are not in regiments to show up and participate. The doors will open for public players, and regimental players, to join the TS server. Soon afterwards, a very quick, 15-30 minute training session will begin. This teaches everything the public players will need to know to participate; nothing fancy, just the basics. Then, the even will start. Regiments from both sides will have groups of public players "issued" out among them to make it fair.

[Frederickson]

Will not be attending tonight.

Please do better maps and tell us the password this time.

[Cop]

Something you need to create, is  steam group to announce the server info globally to regiment leaders / officers.

It's handy.

Please do better maps and tell us the password this time.

 By better maps, I assume you mean that I shouldn't have my graphics drivers repeatedly crash on my, halting the game on really bad maps, that I didn't mean to pick. Yes, I will be picking good maps this time.

GIVE US DA CROSSROADS!!

GIVE US DA CROSSROADS!!

[MackCW]

Thanks for the Crossroads map!

Honestly with the amount of players right now, I believe it is the most efficent and timely map. Large maps induce lag...and rounds last forever.

51st Ohio doesn't exist anymore- We changed names to the 7th Maine.

 I could only see a small amount of the game. Thanks to Cop, by the way, for co-admining for me. From what I saw in the first map, though, things went down pretty well. It's really just up to the regiments though for how long the matches go... you charge, or you don't charge.

51st Ohio doesn't exist anymore- We changed names to the 7th Maine.

 Alright, same amount of expected members?

[Frederickson]

Probably wont be seeing us on wednesdays anymore.  Lack of attendance during the week.

[MackCW]

This is really a great event. I wish more people participated in this.

[Audiate]

 Me too. Unfortunately for tonight, we're down an admin, who's also the way I contact 33rdVA, so they won't be showing up either (unless you can get your booties over here).
 To add to that misfortune, though, we have no working/updated server for tonight. I was thinking it was Thursday, for some strange reason, where the I'm a guest in the event, not a host.
