    I'm sure it'll be rampant in the HH Lounge, and we also have a tourney!

    Do we have to have team to sign up for tourney? I'm coming to PAX solo this year, so, if I need a team, I'd be interested to hear from others who need to find team members.

    As another soloist, I will also need a team... a space team.

    You have my sword....iphone.....whatever. I just need meetup details.

    I'll also be at the Westinn come Thursday, with little to no plans. You on twitter, we can hash out/meet up and practice!

    @ilta @AnarCHris @ ViciousEin02 my twitter is @GoNExall. If we are going to form a team, we should probably try to meet up on Friday soon after noon to sign up, then maybe pactice at least once before the tourney on Saturday. I think we would be able to find other teams to challenge in the Handheld Lounge.

    Never heard of this game before now.. I downloaded it to the ipad, which I'll have with me - will that work with your iphone version, assuming the BCEC wifi holds up?

    Any ideas for name? I am trying to finish Mass Effect 3 before PAX in order to avoid spoilers (so far, so good, so please remember Wheaton's Law). All I can seem to think of the "The Good Shepards." It just keeps popping into my head. As I think about, "The Bad Shapards" might also work.

    The Ipad version cross-plays with the iphone, and I think it connects by bluetooth rather than WiFi, so you should be good. If it does require internet access, the BCC has solid internet, however, the bandwidth is taxed quit a bit during PAX, so it can get a bit hairy.

  • iltailta Registered User regular
    Yay Mass Effect!

    Team Eezo Down the Road? Har har har.

  • iltailta Registered User regular
    Also I just realized I can't participate in the ST tourney due to my own panel starting at 6:30. Sorry guys! Have fun exploding without me, and maybe I'll see y'all in the HH area or on the lines at some point...

    Yea the ipad version and iPhone work togther. I am on an ipad and my friends are all on iPhones and we don't have any problems. People with iPads are at a slight advantage because of the much ginger screen.

    Hehe... Ginger screen.


    I'm super excited about all of this! I seriously hope I don't forget my phone charger, because with all the Spaceteam I'll be playing, I'm sure the battery is gonna die quickly! XD

    Do you have an empty spot on your shelf begging to be filled by a PAX medal? Do you have the even temper, laser focus, and raw nerve to keep a starship un-exploded under the pressure of tough competition? Are you interested in the SpaceTeam Tourney, but your friends are not or you are paxing solo?

    We are looking for two more SpaceTeam members for the tourney. That means committing to the event from 5:30 - 6:30 on Saturday. We'd also like to practice once or twice on Friday, if we can find a time to do so. Also, if you have a good SpaceTeam name, I'd call that a win right there. To be fair about this, we'll take the first two people in order of their responses to this post (perhaps if there are enough responses, a rival team will emerge...hmm).

  • RaughnRaughn Registered User regular
    Gonexall, as promised earlier, I'll be on the team. Message me on Twitter @RaughnP to confirm. I'll try to be there for practice if it happens, but if not, I'll definitely be there for the tourney.

    The beauty of it is that you don't need a pre-set team! Make new friends the yelly way.

    Spaceteam made my Pax. On the train over, I accosted someone as soon as they turned on their iPad, put up a hotspot and instructed them to download Spaceteam. I also met Tangentia who would go on to be the first victorious female Omeganaut. I got to meet the creator, Henry Smith, and play with many who had caught the spacebug.

    We were waiting in line for the Major Nelson podcast, and my friend and I had Spaceteam installed and ended up getting 2 other people to install it and proceeded to have a fantastic time...and get some VERY strange looks from other people, it was a blast though!

    We turned on massive mode and had a 6 or 7 person Spaceteam going in the Rock Band panel line. Also got a round going in the shuttle bus back from ESO dinner with random people. I loved how easily people picked up the game, but how much fun it was to play.

    I'm also sorry we couldn't get together. Gonexall and I watched for you for a while in HH, but that was a really hard area to spot people. If it makes you feel any better, when we got a game going with randoms, we couldn't get the signal to hold very long for some reason. Probably due to all the wireless activity there, because I later got a few games to work in the line for the Omegathon Final Round.

    Lol we got our letters mixed up then.. I thought he said TT not HH..... Lol on my part. Maybe next year

    People were playing Spaceteam on the Metal Gear Line?! Sigh, the amount of times I had almost-encounters with Spaceteam during PAX...I never played it until we got on stage.

    Yeah, I was the guy with the awesome Spaceteam hat my wife made. I even guessed the final round correctly.

    So in watching an Omeganaut final video, I see that when they were told to Flip, they turned the device upside down while still holding it in front of them normally. Which increased the odds of hitting the power button.

    I always took Flip to mean lifting the device up in the air over my head, so that I would look straight up to the sky to play until it said safe. This works for me, and I never have had an issue with an accidental turn-off.

    Chalk this up to finding out what you were playing 10 minutes before actually playing it?

    Before the Omegathon, we were playing Spaceteam and couldn't figure out what the Flip was supposed to do. After dying repeatedly and accidentally shutting of my device more than once, we finally walked over to the booth to ask. We didn't talk to the actual dev but talked to one of the other folks at the booth and she told us that the lack of instructions was intentional, in order to make people discover moves on their own*. She told us that 'Flip' means changing the plane of the device in any direction, and holding it there motionless for a moment. So you can flip by tilting it toward you, holding the sides. It's the holding still that satisfies the 'Flip' command.

    *As an aside, we all mentioned to her that incorporating some sort of minimal instruction would be a good idea, since if we hadn't been at PAX with the ability to ask the question, we would have simply stopped playing the game at that point: it's not fun if it's not fun.

    Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that showed up to the tournament in HH! I think it's safe to say that it was a learning experience for everyone involved but still loads of fun.
