No matter how hard we try; WCGN doesn't seem to want to die. There's just enough of us to keep it alive ... apparently.
But not quite enough of us to get together regularly. I think we need to rent a type-A personality who will tell us what and when to play. ;-)
Well, CrawlingChaos was SUPPOSE to do that but he has a database and a half of excuses including a new shiney job up in LA. I can take a crack at it, but I have not been getting online until after 9p PST and the servers are already full by then.
We just need to make sure all the WCGNers are on each others friends lists. We can impromptu at will once we have that.

That is good thinking. I'll check my list tonight. To be honest, it is nearing the end of the semester, and I'm arse-deep in unfinished responsibilities, so I'm not to be relied on. But I'll try to find y'all tonight.
By the way, even though we're all in the same group, being on each other's friend's list does provide those little pop-up notifications when someone is in game... It's probably best if you stuff your friends list as much as possible with other goodjers for notifications when others are in game and you happen to be free.
COD4 vs TF2. Really tough call. See you on Jake's server. I'd love to get those award thingy's back, not that I am winning any of them.
Only had time to play a couple of maps, but Daddy's almost back. 
Great games tonight.
I believe this is the first "Killed By" screenshot I've ever taken, but it does a sublime job of encapsulating the entire essence of Team Fortress 2. Plus, the gibs are still in rough anatomical order!

Daddy certainly killed me enough with his rockets! GG's all around!

No kidding. I finally got myself in order and out there tonight. I played horribly but I had a blast and half.
CEJ I keep trying to add you as a friend, but I don't think it is you. It adds someone named Colin.
In any case, hopefully life is calming down and I can get regular about playing again.
Definitely GG's tonight.

I was kickin' ass when the TF2 beta launched, but I haven't been able to play for a few weeks until tonight.
The game is still engrossing as heck. But as great as it is now, when they add Hunted in a patch, oooooooohh....
I will never be as good a spy as Distant. That is my conclusion after tonight.
I have also concluded that I both have the most fun, and the most frustration playing spy, dependent upon the night.
Good games all night long, I had to turn in early because the wife was taking a major test this morning so she couldn't have me sitting up late at night screaming and hooting when my team is crushed or is crushing
But good games on gravel tonight and hydro.
That was a fantastic kill, Pharacon. I remember holding back as the round started only to see half my team get blown to bits! Oh, the humanity!
Hahah, I barely escaped that trap as well. I only survived because I was playing a slow soldier. I was showered with gore from my faster team mates :).
My fingers hurt today from all the key pushing from last night. Good games... Except for playing 8-8 against Jake and his merry band of nappy ho-heavies. That wasn't very fun at all.
My apologies to Echoblade if you received 50 friend requests from me. I clicked the button and nothing happened. I could've sworn it usually says "Friend Request Sent" or something. So I just kept clicking. Seemed like the smart thing to do.

heh Steam implemented anti-McChuck spamming so you are ok.
TF2 Anyone? Anyone? I'll hop on and stay for at least an hour, I promise...

Sorry NSMike, but you were a little late. The server peaked a little after eight EST, with a grand total of five players, but we all had left after forty minutes or so. I don't know about tomorrow, but I'm sure Friday will be busy with the official TF2 gaming night.
By the way, in case anyone hadn't noticed, statistics for Stan's Lounge are now online. Thanks jakeleg.
Stats, awesome.
Nice to keep tabs on how the server is puttering along, not to mention all the fun statistics you can discover. Apparently I am the server leader in using the world to kill people, though I'm not quite sure what that means or how I accomplished that. Also, apparently I am to sentry guns what Distantsound is to knifing; at least as far the server stats are concerned (please keep my incompetence a secret, so perhaps I can continue to fool the stat tracker).
World kills are suicides. Mostly by falling. Which means you lead the server in jumping off the cliff.
Or get hit by trains.
Don't sell yourself short. That also includes death by train. 
Well I have the best latency...because that proves something.
I suppose it is the bit about the self-inflicted world deaths being counted as weapon kills that confuses me, 'oh well.
Gaze upon me and despair, for I am the Suicide King!

Finally someone took that title away from me
Aim high Ranalin.. AIM HIGH!
There were two interesting caps on Hydro last night.
First, the opposing team went one way and we went the other, completely bypassing each other. Teammates at our cap are yelling, "They're rushing." While they got to our cap first, they had only one initially while we had three for the win.
Second, basically the same thing happened but with just myself. I come around the corner and nobody is to be seen. It's just dead which makes me more nervous. I proceed to the point and twiddle my thumbs. Another soldier joins me. We finally get attacked. I'm blanking at the moment, but I think I survived long enough to cap.
The number we had last night was the 360 max. That would kill Hydro, but worked really well for 2Fort.

Yeah, we really didn't have enough to do an offense in depth and and a defense in depth (on Hydro). It was one or the other. And not an offense through multiple routes. So, you choose, leaving us with the situation we encountered. I am watching the other team pour onto the rooftop through the vents, while my team went the other way through the lower tunnel. And me and my peashooter (and sentry gun fragments) were a poor match for heavies, pyros and medics. Not that I didn't VALIANTLY die in the attempt.
I can't imagine some of those maps are any fun at all on the 360 because of team size.
