Hi everybody. I know I'm new here, but of all the times I've been in either Rebellion or XWA rooms at the Zone, I see a strong presence of other clans, i.e. the New Republic Navy, yet the presence of the Vast Empire is almost non-existant. Is there any way that we could possibly increase the presence we have in these rooms?I also wanted the 900th post. ------------------ When the Rebels came to destroy the second death star, they were just a group of left wing militants blasting everything in sight with their lasers, nothing more, nothing less.

It is possible to get ALL the rooms in one of those game rooms BUT! Approximately 98% of the VE members DON'T go onto the Zone. Why? Because it's very laggy and a lot of us don't want to play there. ------------------ AAS-4/SL/1LT Cosmic/3SQD/1PLT/1COMP/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE [OPE][OTH][OPA][IH][CDS][IOC] EFM/LCRW Tarkin/Viper 2-4/Wing I/M/SSD Atrus/1VENF/VEN[BRC][BRC] "We are what we repeatedly do.

I frequent the Zone ALOT. The XvT rooms rarely have more than 20 people nowadays. They used to top out at about 80 a couple months ago. No one wants to play games there anymore, either. All I see are recruiting rooms. And ALMOST no one not affiliated to one group or another comes in...leaving no one playing, just recruiting people who aren't available to be recruited. I would find someplace else to recruit, in all seriousness. The one good thing about the Zone is that it hosts the "Week of Wars". Its basically a free-for-all to see which group gets bragging rights for a full month. It shows the efficiency and skill of the group. I know how to get this all set up (assuming it isn't already). Would the people in charge of the Navy (forgive me, for I don't know you by name) like me to get us squared away for WoWs, and other things? IP: 152.163.206.20 |

You will see that situation change quickly when November rolls around with the release of two-or-three new Star Wars games  [This message has been edited by Spartacus (edited September 05, 2001).] IP: 24.237.220.20 |

Isn't there anywhere else that we can go? I know heat.net used to support the games but they shut down and I don't know anywhere else to go!------------------ Corporal Jedi Raiders' Squad Army of the Vast Empire TRP/CPL Jedi/3SQD/1PLT/COMP/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE[OPE] "If Stormtroopers were meant to fight, why did God invent siblings?" --Jedi IP: 66.31.201.3 |

I still hang around the Zone--all there are are other club people recruiting. No one not affiliated comes in anymore. It gets sorta boring without a game to play. I'd stick with Star Wars chats and related message boards (please don't spam). You can also recruit in person (people you know who like to play the platforms we use). I wish the Zone were the way it used to be.

I've noticed that Rebellion is pretty pure in the since of people don't come in there and recruit. And those that do are insulted until they cry like little women.------------------ All independent contractors who were working on the second death star were innocent victims when the Rebels destroyed it. They had no personal politics, they were just trying to scrape a living with a fat government contract that they were offered. How were they supposed to know a bunch of left-wing militants would come in blasting everything in sight with their lasers.---Randal Load up on guns and bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend She's over bored and self assured Oh no, I know a dirty word---Kurt Cobain IP: 204.111.28.9 |

Riel, you most likely didn't notice because you're new, but we have a new ComNet law.. All signatures must be 7 lines long or less.-Tal IP: 162.33.124.19 |

Heh, I got SL and I don't even HAVE JK or FC All I've got is SC, same with the rest of the FA, yet the people running comps refuse to use that as a platform. Could it be that they fear us?Argon IP: 12.96.99.19 |

Coincidently, I'd like to toss my two credits in.I've played on the Zone before, and the conditions are as you said. Lots of recruiting, little playing. I will be looking to 'absorb' a few active Zone clans....in the future. As for right now....I'm working on setting up competitions with other, more active clubs. If any of you have any suggestions, please bring them to me. Also, I need to know what platform all of you fly. This'll help me narrow down what exactly we want out of our opponents. ------------------ NCC/Rear Admiral (Upper) Victor "Sythspawn" Von Cannabisia/HCN-1/VEN IP: 208.245.178.11 |
