It's time for another multiplayer session, it's been a month since the last one.
We've got Sunday 18th August as the date this time at 5pm UTC (6pm UK time, 7pm in Germany)
Everyone is welcome as always, even if you've not played with us before. We voice chat on the Mumble voice chat client
https://www.mumble.info/ (https://www.mumble.info/) < which can be downloaded at this link.
You don't have to voice chat yourselves but you won't be able to hear us without the Mumble client.
The Lix Mumble server info can be obtained by private messaging either myself or Simon.
You are welcome to bring multiplayer maps for us to play and test out also.
(Unfortunately because of mine and Simon's schedule, we couldn't arrange a session until Sunday 18th August.)
Sunday, August 18 is good, I'll play!
-- Simon
I come
Just a reminder that we are still playing Lix this Sunday :lix-laugh:
I'll attend.
Sorry I missed this, I'd like to make the next one whenever it happens.
Sponatenous spur-of-the-moment two-player (well, there's nothing stopping anyone else from joining in, but normally outside the forum organized sessions only one person is not busy at a time) games happen on the Lix IRC channel a lot. I'd be happy to play some Lix with you outside of the forums session.
In fact, would you like to play right now?
Next session has been agreed to be Sunday 29th September already (I usually arrange it on a day that myself and Simon are available), I'll put a separate thread up closer to the time.
Would be great to have you playing again WillLem :thumbsup:
By the way, can only you organize sessions or can anyone oragnize sessions? It seems to only be you that organizes a session, but there's nothing that says anyone can. When I looked back on the old topics in this board, lots of people have organized sessions. Maybe I could organize some sessions, as sometimes several months go by without a session.
There is nothing stopping anyone from arranging a session, it's just there seemed to be a time where if I didn't arrange a session then no one did and no Lix sessions took place so it kind of fell into place that I arranged them and people haven't had issues with it.
Also I have the worst availability out of everyone in the sessions I think, so that was another reason I was given the reins to arrange the sessions. A lot of people can play a lot of nights but I am only free 2 nights a week at most.
It should be noted though that if more sessions are arranged outside the ones I formally arrange, it might affect people turning up for the ones which myself and Simon attend and lower the player counts.
But to answer your question, anyone can arrange a Lix session :lix-wink:
I've been thinking that maybe I might as well organize my own sessions. Maybe once a week or so, maybe as an in-between between playing on IRC and the sessions you organize? Just a thought though, I don't want to get in the way and drive down the players that come to the sessions you organize or anything.
Go right ahead and do so. It's ok, I don't mind. The more people play Lix the better I say. Maybe I might be able to join the sessions you arrange even but it's a slim chance.
There's a chance that your sessions will probably attract less people than the arranged sessions but maybe the lower player counts would be good. Sometimes people prefer smaller groups, because the arranged sessions are where the chaos is and the highest player counts.
By the way would you mind sending me the replays for this session I deleted them by mistake in a WinRAR accident.
Unfortunately I've already sorted the replays into folders so I have no way of getting them back into date order.
I always place my replays in folders so I have all the same maps in one folder. Makes it easier to study maps without having to find replays :lix-cool:
Oh no problem. Can Simon or if anyone else has them send them to me please? Maybe we should make a thread for people to publicly release as many replays as possible so everybody can study replays.
If anyone saw my post (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?msg=103440) then I just want to say that I don't need those replays anymore. The topic is locked now so that's why I can't post in there.
Mod edit: merged separate topic into this one due to thread being locked.
