Every Thursday Night from 9 PM EST and on will now be the official Crimson Skies Night. We will also be having many different types of Crimson Skies tournaments as well. 3 players, 4 player and maybe even 5 players teams if we can get enough people . Tourneys with all different game modes so no ones favorites are left out 2) Rainbow Six -is coming out this coming Tues. Wed there will be a release game night starting at 9:05 EST. If im not hosting (if for some reason i cant get the game on time) Im sure i can find a volunteer to host. As like Crimson there will be tourneys as well 3)Top Spin and Links -We will be having Leagues and tournaments for them. More details to follow 4)XIII - We will see what happens with this one. Everyone is pretty much waiting to see what kind of reviews it gets 5)Already Release Games -We will be having events for Ghost Recon, Wolfenstein and Yes even back to Mech Assault once and a while Well thats a bit of a glimpse for now. Im sure ill see you online tonight for some Crimson Skies Joey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Will there be fabulous prizes? Because I could probably get my wife to agree to my banishing her to our bedroom to watch TV on our POS 20" TV, while I hog the living room for gameplay at 8:00 p.m. CST, if there were fabulous prizes. :lmfao: :lmfao: Sigh. It's going to be a tough sell without fabulous prizes, but count me in! Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A CLAN OF ONE Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Count me in to host whenever you need me Joey. The tourney's you've put together in the past have been the most fun I've had on XBL. Plus as a champion, of the 4-man MechAssault tourney :green:, I'll defend the title if need be.

PoisonJam Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Man, Leo, can't you be a quiet and graceful champion like those Lords among Men, Team Simple Chat (praise be their glorious names, amen)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Man, Leo, can't you be a quiet and graceful champion like those Lords among Men, Team Simple Chat Testify, my brother! Man, it isn't like he won the two tournaments like I did...Sheesh! Some people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 So Ive got this coming weekend off (both Saturday and Sunday). Are we having some Crimson Skies and Rainbow Six 3 fun? I *REALLY* want to get online with both of these titles soon (FREAKING WORK! What the hell do they think telling me I can stay home and play games. Where the hell have the priorities of the free world gone!!). Come on, Romier, you and I both know we're just gonna quit Yes but we are the absolute champions of trash talk .

Chris F Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I can host games as well Joey, don't forget. I'm more than likely getting both Top Spin AND RS3 tomorrow (preordering them tonight), so I can cover if you're not around tomorrow. I'd also be up for an alternate host of Crimson Skies if needs be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I think Crimson Skies uses peer networking instead of server networking...I don't think bandwidth is an issue for this one. I'll be on most Thursdays but not until 10pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I'd also be up for an alternate host of Crimson Skies if needs be. My connections always been pretty solid so I dont mind hosting if need be (and if Im available). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Monkey Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I read a chat transcript with Ubi and they (shockingly) claim that 64KB upload is sufficient to host a full lobby in RS3. They also confirmed a dedicated host mode. I'm not getting my hopes up on the hosting. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Jay,if that is true - then I have no problem hosting RS3. I also have no problem hosting Crimson Skies as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hosting a lobby and hosting a game are two different things though. The dedicated server feature seems to work the same way as the one in RTCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'll be popping my LIVE cherry next week, so you guys have fun playing without me for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Well, the transcript indicates that 64KB upload is for hosting a full game, not just the lobby: Question 18: (Shaolin): What sort of Upload speed is needed to host Games at maximum capacity? (i.e. 4player Co-op, 16player Vs.) (Ubi_Chadi): 64KBPS Reprinted on GameFAQs in this topic. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Maybe he didn't mean to type case sensitive but 64KBPS would mean this. 64KBPS (The lowercase b usually stands for bits while the uppercase B stands for bytes) 64KBPS x 8.192=524.29kbps Question is did he really mean bits or bytes.

Robot Monkey Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I bet you're right -- it's the kilobits versus kilobytes things. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 He also could have meant 64 kbps per player. Though that would be linear, and client/server games typically have exponentially increasing loads. Could have been an average or peak, though. Heck, any amount he gave shouldn't be static. A twelve-player game is likely to need up to nine times as much server bandwidth as a four-player game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 I am running a Top Spin couples tournament. The thread discussing this is here: http://www.lcvg.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1437 I'm not sure of the protocol for conducting a tournament, as part of the LCVG community, but I have so far simply collected gamertags based on interest, and will be sending out XSN invitations shortly.

JoeyN Posted October 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 As far as im concerned people can run any tournaments they want. No problem on my side. Just make sure you do not post in 10 different places about the tournament. Thats the only issue any of the mods would have. Like ive said in the past. Ive done a lot of group play stuff and tournaments, but if any of you wants to run a tournament. Let me know. Ill make a thread and such for it. No problem capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Let's set a night for Top Spin please. Might I suggest either Mondays or Tuesdays at 9pm EST... My wife and I played our first XBlive game against another couple online tonight. We both got so emotional during this game (that we lost), we cannot wait to play again. It is tough to get couples to play without pre-planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
