A quick poll for the West Coast Gaming Night folks to try and see if we want to resurrect this thing for Enemy Territories and/or Team Fortress 2. Let us know if you want to bring the WCGN back and what you want to play.

Editors Note: WCGN - Noun: West Coast Gaming Night. A sub group that focuses on playing games aligned in the Pacific and Mountain Timezones.

Don't have ET:QW, but if I did I'd be all over it. As it is, I'd be game for some TF2 action.

I'd be up for TF2.

I'm definitely in for TF2; I'm on the fence for buying ET:QW, but if there is a quorum, I'd be all over it.

TF2 here. I'll be picking it up tomorrow on my day off.

So previously WCGN was always on Wednesdays, which are now full on my schedule. Any thoughts of changing to Tuesdays?

I vote for Mondays, though Tuesdays work too.

Tuesday's work better for me, but more interested in getting the gang back together. Any word from Oso? CrawlingChaos called last PM to berate me for not playing HL2 before (The Orange Box seems like a pretty good bargain to me).

Any word on in-game ads in ET:QW?

Oso, checking in! (I was out for a few days on the Gulf Coast, away from the vastly superior left coast)

I'm in 100% for TF2. I can't imagine getting excited about playing anything else, but if WCGN gears back up again, I'm sure I'll be in no matter what. (Honestly though, we'll have more fun w/ TF2, unless we can't gather up a quorum.)

*Fripper, any progress on the sound stuttering in TF2?*

Ack! My filthy skimming has done me in. I read the wrong preposition on the poll and voted to return WGCN to the grave. What my dumb-arsed self meant was to demand that WCGN return *FROM* the grave.

Bring back WCGN! Bring back WCGN!

Did you notice that in the topic post your icon is a key but in your subsequent posts it's a car?

I voted TF2. I can play any night but optimum times are from 830pm-10pm

Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?

As for night preferences, Wednesdays are best for me, but if we start at, say, 8:30, just about any night will work. Monday's conflict w/ Heroes could probably be worked around, but the GF and I like to watch that together.

Ok. Looks like TF2 is the clear winner. Oso, Fripper, Eezy, Druid, Staats, Redhawk, Jonnypolite, Podunk, Chaos (unconfirmed) and myself.

So, what night?
Oso = Wed. or any after 8:30p
Eezy = Any night after 8:30p
Staats = Mon or Tuesday
Redhawk = Tuesday
CEJ = Tuesday or any night after 8:30 or so.

Would you kindly...

8:30 or 9 is good for me, usually any night.

I'm on the East Coast, but I am usually up late-ish (2AM is not uncommon). So I wouldn't mind getting in on some of that WCGN TF2 action.

Sounds like Tuesdays are the night. Works for me

Ok. Next question;
GWJ Game Calendar? Steam Community Event? or Both?

Last question: Voice Comms? Steam or Vent?

Doh! Tuesdays are the one night where I absolutely can't do it. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are best for me.

Well, heck! This is something I can get behind. I have both those games, I live on the West Coast... It's like Peanut Butt and Chocolate.

Edit: Tuesdays are fine, particularly after 9pm. I don't get home until 8pm for the rest of our semester.

Wow man, a little chat on the phone and CEJ gets all whipped up into a tizzy.

As badly as I want to buy and play ET:QW, there is just not a majority of people who seem to be playing it here. In all reality there is a strong possibility I will end up with both of them.

As for WCGN... I'd love to see the revival. Tuesdays work good for me, as well.

Glad to see everyone is still alive and well.

Oh crumbs, I'm all thumbs laying here with you. You're beautiful and busty and I'm a little rusty - I've forgotten what to do...

I say put it both on the GWJ calendar and as a steam event. As for Coms, the in-game works really, really well. On the other hand, TF2 really is better w/ a larger crowd, so we may want to make sure we can all do ventrillo in case we go looking for pub servers.

Definitely as a Steam event, that is a great reminder.

I dislike in game voice for a variety of reasons (teams can't share channels, chat goes down between rounds, etc.) so I vote TS or Vent.

I agree with this. Let's plan on using Ventrillo to coordinate a pub or two for some random fun.

I'm Mountain timezone, and would be interested; however, I don't have a Mic rig or TF2.

I'm gonna need some diagnostic help if we use Vent. I've no problems using TS but I can't get Vent working for some reason.
