STUFF ABOUT PORT FORWARDING

KungFu wrote: »

Drag, put something in the first post about port forwarding 6112 UDP & TCP to firewalls and routers. People need to know this stuff.

http://portforward.com/ has instructions for all sorts of router models & firewalls.

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER THINGS I SHOULD KNOW?

Here are some ground rules, gentlemen.

1. Try not to be a dick.
2. See #1.

Some things about team games (adapted from s' post):

ONCE YOU FEEL THAT VICTORY IS BEYOND THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY BUT WOULD STILL LIKE TO CONTINUE OBSERVING THE FESTIVITIES:

1. Say that you are out
2. Turn OFF shared vision with everyone.
3. Stop mining and don't do anything.
4. You can ask for shared vision.
(There still are people who surrender, allie vision with everyone, and start moving their buildings and units all around the map!)

Brodo Faggins

Imagine if units were to scale in the game. You'd make a Battlecruiser, and your entire screen would be just a large hunk of gray metal.

iowa

maybe we should put in something about port forwarding. Or how satellite internet generally doesn't seem to work on battle.net.

Drag

Maybe I shouldn't capitalize the title of the game. It seems a little obnoxious.

Some_tall_guy

Is anybody going to play with me in celebration of the new thread?

And I agree with iowa, something needs to be said about satellite connections.

STATE OF THE ART ROBOT

yeah, i'll probsbly be on at about 7 tonight. Basically I wanted to pst here so I remember to check on this thread

Bruce Forsyth

You've made 17 posts in the last 22 months... I think you're okay.

Bruce Forsyth

Actually, I've made 17 posts in the past one month (Exactly one month tomorrow, whee!). I am an awesome lurker.

No Great Name

You can't tell me what to do

Some_tall_guy

WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY?!??! I CANT CONNECT!



*edit* nvm im in...

Smasher

KungFu, I just went back and watched the replay of our match from earlier today. You did a great job of containing me and keeping me from killing your expos. Also, you had like 2 more of them than I thought you did.

I think the only reason it lasted as long as it did was because I was on the mark with my High Templar.

LightReaper

So how welcome are pretty unexperienced players?

I may get it on this, but i'm a lil worried i'd get my ass kicked.

Osiris5217da

Let us play, my friends!

The range of skill is fairly broad. Some of us suck, some are OK, some are pretty damn good. I tend to vary between the three from game to game.

Well i'm installing atm, so we'll see.

iowa

come on troops

STATE OF THE ART ROBOT

3 in channel JOIN UP FUCKHOLES!

Drag

I gotta do some math stuff first. Maybe in like 10 minutes or something

iowa

well yeah, it appears ridiculously huge because thats supposed to be an entire city.

I can make out a fleet beacon and a nexus.

lordswing

are there other pictures like that? they look absolutely amazing

leaf

Ok, people either need to stay in the room longer than a minute or stay away, we've had enough people pass through in the last 5 minutes to have a 6 person game, but you all sign on/off instantly.

Smasher

I just had a dream about starcraft.

I think I might have played it a little too much yesterday.

STATE OF THE ART ROBOT

So, anyone up for some games (post here if you are coming on, because I might not be in the channel, but if I see that you posted here I will get on)

Smasher

Sure, why not. I'm on.

iowa

is anyone on

Smasher

I am.

Edit: so is toons.

KungFu

hehe, I dreamed in starcraft like a month ago when I played all day. It was like tetris vision.

Wish I could play while I sit here at work.

iowa

that was my favorite ffa in a while. I needed some way to stop gnomes victory army and while I was attacking his northern expansion I saw green roll in and finish it off, so rather than waste my hydralisks trying to fight his army i just kept dropping them on his base in hopes that it'd give green the edge in defeating him.

I lol'd when I saw that the only thing keeping your army in your control was 1 turret, gnome. Then I decided to hold that turret hostage.

now with replay!

LightReaper

Was I green? I'm kinda sketchy on remembering.

Probably was, maaan I could of won if I scouted more.

iowa

yeah you were green.

If you had just had a better idea of what was going on around the map you would have won. Gnome was stomping my ass left and right up until about 5 minutes before he admitted defeat. If you had just went out and killed my expansions you would have won easily. Instead you sat back mining from one expansion and let me rebuild. I'm not complaining.

I honestly don't know why I didn't scout, I mean I had tonnes of marines, just throwing random ones around to see whats up would of been smart.

iowa

Pretty much the best thing about terran is comsat stations, you should use them to scout. With a marine you don't get much of a picture before he dies. If you have like 3 comsat stations you can just sweep everyones base every 5 minutes and see what they're building/if they're being attacked. It's hella useful in all situations.

For instance I saw(assumed) that gnome comsatted foot's base right as I was attacking him, which forced me to retreat back to my base for fear of the inevitable attack.
