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 send messages to hosts.

TAG Custom Games Night
Host's Gamertag: Plasma Blades
Start Time: 6:45pm EST on Friday, and then 6:45pm EST on Sunday as well. Perhaps periodically on Saturday or early Sunday.
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.
