Frozen Synapse "The Ultimate Tactical Game" from Mode 7

Need a favor. for anyone i'm in a game with, can you tell which logon server you're using? The one it keeps giving me now isn't the one we've been using and none of my games are showing up. Pretty sure we're on UK1, I keep getting Texas servers now. Maybe should just do my work...

The Humble Frozen Synapse Bundle is supposed to be live right now, but isn't yet showing for me. Basically, when it works, pay what you want for a copy of Frozen Synapse, and if you pay more than average, you get some other games, too.

I'm going guess this is why I can't get logged into the main server atm.

*EDIT* Yup, was on the support IRC channel and they said the login servers were under siege.

Just picked it up on the Bundle. Anyone still playing PBEM games?

Yup.

mudbunny - Challenge me!!

I got your challenge on UK1.

Feel free to challenge me too. BlackSabre.

@CrashMonkey: UK1 is where I have all my games. Log in to that one and you should see the games. We've got 2 running. 1 in turn 2 and 1 in turn 7. The latter game is the one I was referring to with you guys. I just didn't think you'd be on that wall. I had a feeling that rocket blast would be a doozy though and it was, so I'm happy with that. Just not the fact that I also lost 2 guys in that turn. It's amazing how much not knowing where your enemy is can screw with you.

Incidentally, both games are awaiting your move.

I must admit, I prefer playing against you guys rather than random pubbers because I can poke you if you don't make your moves

Not sure why but FS keeps locking up my system at home and I couldn't get in at work. Not getting in earlier seems to be due to the indie bundle overloading the servers. not sure why my system is now freezing up as it is usually quite stable. I'll try again from work in the morning.

Completely agree

If you have an AIT card, try turning off menu backgrounds. I had that in the beginning where it would completely lock the system. Turn those off and you are good to go.

Floomi, believe it or not, this is the first Light Extermination I've ever played. I'm so not use to being able to see you and you being able to see me. Completely destroys my strategy! So will see how this goes

Well this thread constantly showing up in "My Recent Posts" has sucked me back in. I haven't played in forever (and I wasn't that good to begin with) but I jumped on the UK1 server (because that's where the spreadsheet says y'all are) and sent out a handful of challenges. Anyone who didn't get one (including those who just got the game in the humble bundle) is more than welcome to send me a challenge, any gametype.

Got it. Will probably load up tonight as I eagerly download the BF3 Beta

To say I'm rusty is an understatement.

Which spreadsheet? This one doesn't list Frozen Synapse.

Got in this morning for a few minutes but am having trouble logging in again this afternoon. Those of you waiting on me to take a turn, please be patient and go play BF3 for awhile.

This one?

It looks to me like everyone is on the Texas server (though apparently I can't connect). I just got the game via the humble bundle myself, so I'm just trying to find goodjers.

A lot of people on UK1 as well. I was on Texas and the system shifted me over to Uk1 awhile ago. I was just too lazy and never switched back. If everyone wants to recongregate back over there after the current games we are playing, I'm good with that.

I don't think we can. I thought they left those servers up for people to finish games, but every new game has to be created on UK1.

Yeah, that's the impression that I got as well.

You've now got the advantage Floomi.

One request. If anyone challenges me, dark mode only please. I hate light mode.

Also Grumpicus, your move. You killed my shotgun guy I always lose my shotgun guy. Why must I always lose my shotgun guy?!?!?!

Yeah, I was referring to the people who were actively posting in the thread most recently.

Picked this game up in the humble bundle today, so this is my obligatory thread sub and steam group request post. Steam ID is in my sig.

I finally played through the demo (the tutorial, anyhow). I have to say that Sgt. Whatshisface is not winning any points for the game. I can have people condescend to me in real life; I don't need a game to do it. So, does he make any further appearances in the single player campaign, or should I find a less irritating way to have fun?

I just started the campaign, and I don't think he's there. Or if he was, he wasn't insulting me, and I didn't notice him.

This is a very cool little game though. I could see me getting into it.

All this hubbub is going to force me to start playing again. I guess it'll give the new guys someone to trounce.

Haven't played in a bit. They've improved the UI and it's overall just slicker.

We'll see how they can handle all the new players, must be tens of thousands over the weekend hitting the servers.

Can someone invite me to the steam group please?

*cough*

I'm terrible at games and will definitely rage when I lose. But god damn it I love the idea of asynchronous tactics. If anyone wants to "school" a "noob", hi, I'm spaceindaver. Challenge me and win free points!

And if there's a specific FS GWJ Steam group, an invite would make my wang big and strong.

You'll fit right in. As it were.

Just tried the tutorial on the MacBook, and it asks me to press backspace (not delete) to remove waypoints. Er...

Edit: Yes, I was too lazy google first -- delete means backspace, and Fn-Delete means delete.

Yeah, well I'm weary of challenging you so called "noobs". You just don't do what I expect you to do and it ends up in my forming this massive calculated strategy to get my shotgun guy to clean every corner of a room which makes perfect sense for you to be because it's the most tactically beneficial position... and your guy is hanging outside near no cover, just looking in a random direction and shoots me on approach.

*sigh* It's cost me my last 3 GWJ games. I hate losing. So very... very.. much.
