TGIF hosts will review the signups in order to discern who will be interested in their party. You must send the party leader a message on XBL at the start of the party asking for an invite. This is to secure a position in the party. You will be invited on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, parties will remain open to make joining easier. If you are not able to join and you do not receive an invite, the party is closed. Please do not continuously sen messages to hosts.
Host List
THE Laughing Dead Society
Host's Gamertag: Javidson Ist
Start Time: 1:00pm EST (7:00 British Summer Time)
End Time: at least 5:00pm EST (11:00 British Summer Time)
The british times take priority so if I converted the time wrong I apologise ;)
Rules:
Screamers will be kicked
@$$holes will be kicked
I don't mind swearing but be nice to others, failure to do this will result in your re-classification as an @$$hole.
Any maps you want to test/play should be in your fileshare with appropriate gametype/s as I will NOT be passing leader around
If you don't like a game, don't moan, we'll play something you like next
If one player is causing extreme lag, apologies, they will be kicked (will have to be obvious that it's them, I won't kick people experimentally)
I reserve the right to end the game if the majority of speaking people announce their disdane for it.
Talk to the party and have fun!
Schedule:
Various Mini-games, infection variants to start
Whatever the party wants next! (invasion, map testing, BTB, more of the above, anything!)
TAG Custom Games Night
Host's Gamertag: Plasma Blades
Start Time: 6:45pm
End Time: No set time
Rules: The rules are pretty simple - 1. No asking for party leader, and no disruptive voices.
2. While it's not mandatory, it's preferred that swearing is kept to a minimum and players are respectful of others.
Schedule:
-There's not really a set schedule, though the night will be filled with balanced infection and popular mini-games.The infection maps are linear-style, so both humans and zombies take multiple hits, and teamwork is a necessity to get to the end.Usually the party begins with a mini-game so that those who join initially have an equal chance. Afterwards we run through the infection games and then the rest of the mini-games. If there's even teams, we'll occasionally switch it off to invasion.
-We'll be testing some maps as well. If you want your map tested, PM me with some pictures, a description, and a link to the map. Preferably a casual map, though invasion is acceptable. Sharp's (and pinohkio's) Not 12 Hour, but 2 Hour Party
Host's Gamertag: xSharpshooter94; pinohkio
Start Time: [3:00 pm EST]
End Time: [5:00pm EST] ------ (It'll last ore than 2 hours, though)
The Law: 1. No squeaking
2. No harassing
3. No game-breaking(unless I start it)
4. No asking for host
5. No delaying game starts(will be kicked at my discretion), no complaining about what is played.
6. I will not be passing around host; if you would like to test put the map on your fileshare and message me. (Asking in gamechat is hard to understand with multiple conversations going on)
7. Guests are allowed
8. I reserve the right to boot
Schedule: We're going to be playing a variety of games including.
mini-games
Competitive Games
Testing (*If map is on FS*)
Race Maps
Whatever we -Blamin- feel like doing.
Confused Flamingo's "One of a Kind" Bonanza
Host's Gamertag: ShadowStorrmxX
Start Time: 9:00 PM, EST
End Time: Last man standing gets a cookie.
Rules:
No discrimination, in any way, shape, or form.
Don't ask for leader.
Intelligent banter is appreciated.
No screaming, or I'll throw you into the sea.
No rescuing players from the sea.
Flamingo's word is law.
Trolls will leave alongside the screamers.
No Tea-Bagging.
Party cap is 8.
Not having a mic, being in party chat, and bringing guests all make you that much more expendable.
Schedule:
-Competitive 4V4. (No Armor Lock, Jet pack, or Camo).
-4V4 Firefight Versus. (Bet you forgot it existed, huh)?
-Small party minigames. (Examples: Buddhacrane's Minotaur, Battleships, Floormaster).
-Clue.
-A personal project of my own.
-Suggestions will be accomodated for under the circumstances that there is nothing left to do.
-Testing is somewhat tolerated, but only when the gameplay has been solidified and is proven to be enjoyable.
Berb's party
Host GT: The Berb 9
Start time: 5-6pm EST
End time: whenever
Rules: No mic spam, abuse, delaying, switching teams to deliberately make them uneven,
singing, screaming or ruining my mellow
Schedule: A plate of minigames, slices of CTF and chunks of other BTB, with a side order of Invasion
Darth Human's boring colorless party
Host's Gamertag: Darth Human
Start Time: 6:00pm EST
End Time: 11:00pm EST
Rules:PLEASE talk and chat with us, you don't need to go into party chat.
No screaming, singing. I can stand squeakers to a point.
Please don't ask for leader.
Feel free to mention any maps you want me to play.
Schedule: Bunch of mini games, with a small blend of some great infection and objective based games. Later on in the evening when I run out of maps, I will start to pass leader for maps to test.
Sarge's Totally Got A New Xbox Party
Host's Gamertag: SargeantSarcasm
Start Time: 12:00pm EST
End Time: Whenever I feel like falling asleepRules:Mic is optional but STRONGLY recommended. If someone wants to join the full party and you don't have a mic, they get your spot.
Guests are optional but STRONGLY discouraged. Same processes as the one above.
Yelling, screaming, being annoying results in a kick.
Breaking the map without that being the express purpose, results in a kick. (testing is okay)
Taking my sniper rifle results in a kick. (probably not)
Pretty much doing anything remotely annoying results in a kick.
BRING MAPS YOU WANT TO TEST AND PLAY. BRING MAPS FROM THE FORUMS THAT INTEREST YOU.I will pass leader around, if you abuse this, you will be punished on-site.
Schedule:
No Big Team. No Invasion.
Minigames, Casual and Competitive only.
Party Choice.
I will not be bringing maps that aren't already on my harddrive. Considering most of them are from the tourney submissions, they are not suited for an 8-player game. So again BRING MAPS YOU WANT TO TEST AND PLAY.
