I'll be runnin a game eventually as well with the paid maps. I found a nice sanctuary sniper spot that's too easy to get to.

HUGE thanks to everyone last night who sent me invites. I kept getting the unable to connect due to network problems error message. I hope it wasn't too much trouble and I really do appreciate the effort.
As always, great to play with Beekeepers and while Warlock may not be Waters favorite map, I believe it certainly is a nice change of pace like Midship for Oddball, Crazy King, and others. I do agree Containment is a bit large even for 8 on 8 but I absolutely love the open area combat and the trench and obstacles that allow you to move without too much sniper interference. My biggest complaint about Coagulation is that if you are in the middle of the map you are nothing more than sniper fodder. These maps absolutely demand teamwork. Thanks again, especially to Krystyn who I am sure gets annoyed at times by the volume of messages she gets.

kaber, I was more than happy to try and get you into a lobby.

The only thing that ever really frustrates me about the messages I receive is ...

OK, two things.

1) That sometimes I do not see or do not get the notification on my screen that someone has messaged me, and so they think I am ignoring them. Trust me, I don't want to ignore anyone, unless they're being a putz, in which case, I am sure they can handle it. So, no one ever frustrates me by sending lots of messages. I like making sure people get to play and have fun with other beekeepers, you know? It's just that the system can be unwieldy for speedy retrieval and invite-sending.

2) this is not directed at kaber, incidentally, but to pretty much everyone: if you want an invite, simply send, "i?" I can read it easily, thus enabling me to forgo having to ask the lobby to quiet down so I can listen to a full-size message that essentially equate to, "I want an invite." gilada is hilariously guilty of these long messages, and I keep teasing him about it, and he keeps doing it: "Hey there, krystyn, this is gilada, AKA SizableManowar, and it's about 10:20 PM on Thursday, and I was wondering if I could get an invite?" It is only his drunken smackdowns of idiots we meet in matchmaking that keep him from experiencing my wrath, I tell you.

The "i?", btw, is a Mathboy/4dswisscheese invention, if I am not mistaken. I love it. I encourage you all to use it.

Now, obviously, if you have other information to impart, do so by audio, but speak clearly, and if possible, you can even over-enunciate, if the person you're sending the message to is in a full lobby. The sharper you make your consonants, the easier it is to pick out your message over the insane chatter that is still occurring in the lobby 99% of the time. kaber, I understand that you send audio because of your network issues, and that is totally fine with me!

I have gotten a few of the "i?" msgs... and i think it would be best. I think we should have the atached voice msg for things you can't type well... like sarcasem and funny commets/quotes.

[water10]

They really should mute all players on the pre-lobby so you can listen to messages ... But since it's not there, I'll start using the "i?: message ...

I don't usually msg Krystyn anymore. Not because I have anything against her or anything. It's just that I know she's usually flooded with msgs, so I pretty much send msgs to other people, like Jinx, Thunder, Clayfoot, INCyr and others. And I usually send messages to two people on the group, just in case. I think it works best this way.
