Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

[Skouperd]

Hi guys, we are in the process to resurrect an oldish game. Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. This is how it works.

1. We are a bunch of guys, ranging between 6 and 8 that enjoy a once a week night off and play SC-FA
2. It seems like we have agreed on Thursday evenings, between 20:00 and 00:00 for the game.
3. We have a ton of mods for the game, every week will be a different game and different format
4. The loser of this week choses the format for next week.
5. The guy that came second last, he has the mis forunte to select the map.

Based on point 4 above, assume you've been taken out by nukes, you could make it a rule that there will be no nukes allowed. Or you can say only certain units, factions, tech levels, can be loaded. You can select which mods you want to go with. Effectively, you determine the rules for next week's game. The guy coming second last, he has some say in the matter by selecting the map. (so assume you wanted to have a long game, playing on a very large map, then the guy coming second could screw you and pick a small map).

We will all be restarting the game after about a 7 month break, so even if you are new to strategy games, or SC:FA, you will not be too far behind. (make no mistake, you will be behind at first). However, the guys are quite pleasant and will tell you what went wrong and how you could improve on it. Ps, also, if you lose, you could set the game up for next week to work in teams or something...

any event, we have a few slots open, so if you are keen to give it a go, let me know and I will get you the SC:FA distro we are playing including all the mods and everything else. The image is about 12GB in size.

Great initiative to get guys involved in other games Denis!

This is a good opportunity for the RTS heads of the clan to get some good going. I am not one of those people unfortunately :)

We were wondering where you getting your gaming fix from Skoups :P

[Cat Nipples]

Definitely keen Skoups!!

Need my fix after Russian wussied out on CnC3.

EDIT:

Whatever happened to Planetary Annihilation?

[TygerBS]

I want tooo!

[Skouperd]

Planetary Annihilation is still there, but it is a bit expensive for some of the other guys that I play with to invest in. Supreme Commander was sold at one stage for something like R30, so I've bought a whole lot of legal copies, however the cracked version that we currently have is way more stable. (I do not endorse piracy, which is why I have bought a lot of copies when it was R30 a pop.)

Fire / Tyger, what is the easiest for me to get you a 12GB image to you? BTW, we've uploaded the image onto a german server already so you could download it as well.

[TygerBS]

Give me the link i will download.

I'm in how does it work would be keen to thrash this out and against you guys! I has it on steam!

[Skouperd]

Ok Tyger, we use something called BTSync that will keep all the guys images aligned and synced.

You can get the software here:
http://www.bittorrent.com/sync

And then you can use the following READ key to get all the data;

Let me know if you are having issues with it.

Ice, Ice Baby, (you must have heard that song before?), unfortunately your steam version will not work because, well, yes, this is a community patched version which is a lot more stable than the official version.

See the post to Tierjtie, about how you could get the download, or alternatively, as we are close by, let's meet, (bring me a laptop or USB or something) and I can copy the file for you as well.

[Skouperd]

Ps, I'll write a startup guide for the new guys...

[Cat Nipples]

Dankie Skoups!

I'll check how fast the d/l is on my pc otherwise I'll try to get it from you. Do you work in Durbanville as well?

[Skouperd]

Dankie Skoups!

All the good guys are migrating into Durbanville... so yes I do...

[BadA$$jack]

[Musketeer]

sweet, have a look at the post I've send to Tyger on how to use BTSync. Let me know how the download is going please.

[Musketeer]

Thanks Skoup, it's coming down quite steadily atm, should be able to install it tomorrow night.

[Cat Nipples]

Bsync running on my side as well, between 70 - 120kbps on my 2mb line.

[Stu]

Skoup let me know how much space i need I'll hook up with you and get the files. I train Thursday nights are there late join in options? Wouldn't want to miss out on the fun. Looks like we have a few takers anyway!

[Skouperd]

I would say you need around 12GB Stu. We will try to start at 20:00, but yes... have you ever seen gamers being on time for anything?

[Skouperd]

Thanks Skoup, it's coming down quite steadily atm, should be able to install it tomorrow night.

you should not need to install anything Musketeer, you should be able to just open up the "instructions file" and yeah, take it from there. The EXE file in the Bin folder can be run without needing any installation.

[Musketeer]

Also training Thursday nights - should be free from 21:00 onwards

[Cat Nipples]

Okay I'm all set up! Going to play a few practice single-player games. Any useful resources to look at online so I don't get completely pwnt?

Keen for Thursday!

[Stu]

Fire - need to hook up in the area and get the installs. Let me know whats app me etc I make a plan to come fetch em from you bru. k tnx bye

[Cat Nipples]

Sure thing Stubacca, I live in Sunningdale so can't be far away from you

[Skouperd]

Ok, guys, anybody keen for a game, join us on TeamSpeak tonight from around 20:00. I am not sure what channel I'll be in, as I am not sure if Lee have managed to create a new channel for us or not, but just look for me in Team Speak and we can play a game or two.

[Kyuubidemon]

This looks epic! Played this game a couple times, but it crashes about an hour in and just kicks me back to desktop.

Anyway spectators can watch? I love watching these types of games. Went to watch that starcraft exhibition game once... wow it was awesome!

[Cat Nipples]

Damn you Skouperd, just damn you.

I'm so addicted to this bloody game ,I just want to go to bed and sleep.

[Cat Nipples]

Okay gents I'd really like to play tomorrow night. Skoups? Brad? Stu? Musky? Mikey? Badass?

Comon!
