Nice. I think you should remove the teamspeak though as it's just excess noise that you can't hear anyway. I'd rather hear your commentary. Also, some first-person would be appreciated.

Yeah in future casts I'm going to be exclusively recording either myself or the Teamspeak channel, I also need to get a better microphone at some point.

I chuckle a little to myself every time someone mentions it being hard to play with sub 200 ping, one day we should host it on an Australian server to see how you guys fare :D.
But yeah, it probably should be hosted more on the Euro ones when there aren't that many players from US or Oceanic... it all depends on whether the people with admin rights are online.
Ah I'm afraid it will be about another 13 hours before the gather system is really active again, most of the regulars at this point are from Western Europe.
Anyone here from ENSL? I have a very old account there which password I have forgotten. I don't have access to the email associated with the account anymore. And I can't create a new account because of "steam id already exists".

Yes we already played two, and one more running: <a href="http://www.ensl.org/gathers/4609" target="_blank">http://www.ensl.org/gathers/4609</a> 1 slot left, first come first serve.
At the risk of repeating someone (having not read the whole thread), the tf2lobby gather system is really good. If someone is developing the ENSL stuff, it might be wise to take a look at the features they have and see what can be adapted.

swalk: you guys too need to do a little scheduling for these gathers.. i always get to my computer and it says "event was started 2 hrs ago" etc etc. i'd love to have it on some form of schedule so i could make it more often :)

They start when 12 have signed up, so it's about keeping an eye open on ensl. I sometimes put events on matchbox and scrim network when there are people signed up, but there are still slots left. But not always, I'm too lazy to do it every time.

Gather running! 6 slots left!
First person spectating is not implented in the game yet. So that's a no-go for now.
Just a problem if a captain accidentally selects players so that no one knows how to comm. Then it's awful, as any game would be.
Also I wish we could play more on European servers. Skulks are really strange to shoot at with 150 ping.
Yeah in future casts I'm going to be exclusively recording either myself or the Teamspeak channel, I also need to get a better microphone at some point.

We already have a new gather system coming, which will feature a gather function for each game server.
That means regional gathers will be possible, depending on the servers that get added.
And you will of course still be able to join one outside of your region.
Also, it's gonna include some basic win/loss stats so captains have an easier time picking teams.
We would like to change that to K/D at some point, but that's for smarter people than me.
Joining the gather as "marine/alien/both commanders" is also a feature we would like to have.
