And just in case...

You are correct: EST = GMT-5

While this scrim might not happen, I'm confident that the ETQW TG community will grow. When the retail launched, there was only a handful of regulars. Since then it's grown significantly. It's still relatively small, but I think this will change over time.

That is heartening. I know the server is popular as a pub, but clearly what we are trying to do is build a community. I think with the release of the latest patch, we have a game that is very appealing to TacticalGamers. We will continue to try to schedule scrims.

With respect to the current scrim, we will move forward.

After a good deal of thought, I think we can have a fun scrim if we go with a smaller 5 on 5 kind of game. To go with the more casual approach, we will not have tactical forums set up for this game, we will give each team a reasonable amount of time (5-10 mins) to set up strats before we go live. The purpose is to have a good game with high quality tactics and teamwork. Time to go study island.

With the scrimmage coming up in two days, everyone on this list should post again in the thread to confirm that they're available to play. If everyone who signed up confirms, then we can have a 6v6 match with one replacement. Once everyone confirms, we can set up the teams and start planning.

Confirming.

**Bernout** · 01-25-2008, 12:39 PM

Confirmed.

**sc1ence** · 01-25-2008, 01:24 PM

thanks for that post domino. If everyone posts, then I will set teams, otherwise we will do our best to settle the teams before we go live. there may be interest in a scrim with an external group at that time. Regardless, we will keep it low key and fun.
