Near the close of last year both myself and Lighty put up polls establishing what would be a good time for people to play FS2. Results from that seem to indicate that people would be abke and willing to play on a Saturday from around 8pm GMT.
I am aware that since the polls were issued there has been quite a long hiatus between them and us taking any action, so I think its time to remedy that.
Hopefully we'll be able to get a regular weekly game going. However before we can attempt that we need to know who would be interested and whether Saturday at 8pm is still a reasonable time.
Can anyone who's interested post here please, and say whether the day and time suits them Lets hope we can get as many people as possible.

I'm game.
You know come to think of it.
QD has it been two years since the last time I touched Code Name Robin Hood? Man we used to do that thing like crazy.
It'd be good to replay that sometimes. I was always the beautiful Perseus.
Also...I'm getting an 8/1mb line this month. That'd probably average my upload to about 120kbps.
Might be good for hosting.

Just so you all know, I'm not planning to start the first game today, but probably next Saturday. Give those who haven't seen the thread time to post, and when we have confirmed numbers, sort out who will host etc.
Glad to see theres a few of you interested btw
EDIT: I will play tonight if theres people who do want to play. Just get onto IRC and poke me. I'd simply planned on having this fully organised before starting it.

Well we did have a game for tonight planned, but unforseen problems stopped it from happening. Some couldn't be helped (such as BD's joystick failing), and some were down to the fact that this is a new thing (Singh not being able to keep awake coz it was 4am in his timezone).
The way forward now is to re-organise things so that everyone can play. Lets move onto the issues and try to resolve them.
Firstly, the time is unsuitable for some players, mainly Singh. Im thinking that maybe those of us who are around at 6pm GMT (i know not everyone is available then) could have a couple of games then, to give Singh and anyone else in his position the chance to participate. We would then play again at 8pm GMT, so that those who cant make 6pm GMT can play. This way everyone gets a game.
Secondly, a host. If he doesnt mind then we will take advantage of BD's server for a first week or two. Hopefully then we will be able to start a rotation of one person hosting each week, that way its fairer on everyone.
Thirdly, a meeting place. Everyone has access to an IRC client whether it be one on their PC or the one on the main site. Can I propose that everyone joins our IRC channel (#SSX) five or ten minutes before 8pm GMT. That way we know who's here and we arent waiting around ingame for people who havent been able to come along on that particular week.
As this is a new thing there will most likely be problems we encounter for the first couple of weeks, until we get a well organised system for this in place (i.e. times that suit everyone, final hosting decisions). Hopefully we'll have the first group game next week. In the meantime if you could comment on that which I've mentioned in this post or throw out ideas or comments of your own I'd be grateful. Lets try and get this game ready to go for next week

I apologize for leaving - but I was half-sick with a cold and just couldn't stay up much longer
Promise I will stay up this time though

I think the official time is pretty much outlined in the first post.

I apologise for my absence last night guys. I was out at the time, and couldn't get back until about 9pm. I'm gonna try and keep next week free.
Thanks go to BD for taking command of the group game
