So...
It's too quiet out here for me not to start making noise.
My first thought is to host a perpetual game and listen for the join/radar beeps of incomings...which is up:
http://battlezone1.com/anet2/I76_Nitro_Pack.html
My second thought is to host a game with a "mission" and then see who's the first one to make it...like Purgatory in a Moth Truck...
Input?
Well...the game is up. It's on a dedicated PC and I'm watching the server scopes in a tab on my primary PC.
If you join the game, I'll hear it, see it or I'm not here...

Been busy; that actually sounds like a good idea, but IMO it could be improved somehow by having nightly meetings on the server.

Still empty...

Nitro is working! Good news
Do you have a technique to keep running a game on the background and being aware of someone joining? ALT TAB? Window mode? I use Win7
Woo!

Woo! Dougie Two Saints in the hizzou!
The perpetual game is being hosted on the machine to my right. It used to be Mrs. Light's PC but I bought her a vastly superior laptop so it's essentially unused.
I have the audio turned up but the car turned off so I can pretty much hear the "join" beep if/when anyone decides to join.
It seems to crash overnight but since no one is playing that's not a problem (yet).
I'll keep the game running and my ears peeled. Hopefully a never ending, stable game will start drawing some more attention back here...but I'm not holding my breath.
17 years is a long time to hold out for a patch!
So...

The Perpetual [FD] game seems to be crashing off the server (but not out of the game) overnight on us.
I'll see if I can't figure it out...but in the meantime, why don't you guys jump in the game and pay Null Host [FD] a visit!
I've seen Kinyodas and someone took the time to .45 kill the host but aside from that it's been too quiet.
We know the patch works, we know it's a long weekend and we know you want to play.

I'll check the server out before Tuesday's match.
OK...

Well kids, I'm shutting down the perpetual game for at least the weekend.
LA call and I won't be here to babysit the connection and reset it the requisite two times a day.
Besides, based on the 0 deaths and endless rolling and bumping of Null's Sovereign at Elimination Center no one is playing.
I'll catch you all on Monday.

That was me pushing you around the map. I also saw you rolling eerily back and forth - I thought you were messin' with me at first until I realized that's how it rolls. I stopped by from time to time but never seemed to catch you but once or twice.
I was hoping Tuesdays would be the 'game night'.
Anyway, I'll be looking next week. Hopefully we'll have a few on Tuesday.

Dougie Two Saints in the heezy!
LOL!
Anyway, there's at least two threads to check out regarding the patch...or you could just got to the downloads section and see what that gets you?
