Sent you a friend invite, rddragon512. If you don't come up with something else for me to call you, your nickname automatically reverts to G-money or Dirty Dog.

I've been meaning to get back and join you guys, but my Wed nights are usually a little more busy. I'll try and make it next week, though, and see if I can drag Kat along

I've been considering picking up Halo 2 just for this night, as it seems like the kind of thing I'd really enjoy (noncompetitive, fun-based multi). So you might be getting a fresh face here sometime soon.

Three Bag! I want it!

In Ultima Online I used to poison hams and leave them on the ground in cities for people to pick up and eat. I can't believe how many people thought street ham was a good thing to eat. -Elliottx

Sorry Yoyo, at Zero's suggestion I dropped the bagging from the gametype and changed it to Rochembeaux. It's pushing the number of honesty policy rules that are doable as is. You are more than welcome to come up with a gametype that implements teabagging, but I warn you that striking a stable, simple design is like a frikkin' rubik's cube in a finger trap made of crossword puzzles.

Oh man, how can we make this into a gametype?

Well Rassilon is my other call from my youth, or G-Money works also. Too bad the dragon would have 'flamed' you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't try and pin that one on me! Although I do agree that this isn't the game where it belongs, I love the idea of a game with teabagging as one of the primary gameplay elements.

Oddly, I don't recall teabagging as part of the rules in Three Bag. I only remember the epic conflict of Rockets, Snipers, and Vehicles.

I thought Zero suggested the name change. That was what I meant. I took out the teabagging element before testing as it added too many honor system rules to keep straight.

We need a shooter game where you can define custom rules with a scripting language or something.

I think I've already ranted enough about the heresies involved with releasing a multiplayer game sans script editor in a post StarCraft world.

Luna, who is your avatar? She looks like Sarah Silverman but it's tough to tell at that resolution.

Never mind. Found the answer in another thread... Nice choice.

Hmm, never met you before, yet it seems that you were led to GWJ because of Halo.. I have a feeling that there's going to be a raping tonight.

I'm gonna try to pick up a used copy of Halo 2 tonight after work so I can play. I've never played Zombie Skate or Halo 2 for that matter.

I'm scared

EDIT:

My better half just called to tell me she picked up Halo 2 for me (she rocks). So I'll definately be there.

Good to hear. Just be sure to download the map packs before the game (they're free!).
