Was wondering if there was a way to make it easier to form pick up games. Usually, a lot of people want pick up games for all kinds of stuff, but you either need to yell out invites (which most people don't hear due to headphones), or post it on the intranet.

The intranet is great, but I don't think people check it often enough, so it's tough to gather people up in a hurry. Not sure if you could either emphasize the intranet for pick up games (and communication in general), or perhaps have a type of request list we could provide whomever is using the event microphone to gather up the masses.

Just a thought, throwin it out there for ideas.

Thanks

We like ideas!

Everyone should have an intranet account as that is how they choose their seat but we too understand that not everyone looks to the intranet when it comes to pick up games or sometimes...anything.

Please feel free to approach a staff member to have them announce over the mic a pick up game you want to play. We're more than happy to facilitate gaming and fun at our event.

This works.  We approached the helpdesk a few times last year to get announcements for some of our games.   We brought CoD4 GunGame and everytime an announcement was made the server filled up.

Oh.. I remember the person. I helped him upgrade CoD4 from 1.0 to 1.7 or whatever it was. He was mad he had to update too....

I remember that. Someone then came up and complained to us they couldn't see your server. I forget who went to help them but found they had NEVER applied ANY updates or patches to their install.

I share this not to berate that person. (Because honestly I don't remember who it was.) I do this to make mention that you should have your games up to date!

Yes I believe that person approached me first, while I was in game.... and got snippy when I wouldnt help him troubleshoot.  DUDE! I'm busy playing LOL!

I remember asking him the general stuff.  Is the game up to date? Is pb updated? Your firewall blocking?  Your filters set in the server browser (cuz it was a mod).  He said it was.  I said sorry... i dont know then.

Ya'll are lucky. I got stuck witht he guy who needed his mouse re-wired at 3 am after I had downed 4 red bulls and had been up since launch.

I'd be like EFF THAT!  Go buy a new one.  I can help getting you connected to our network and get in game...but re-wire a mouse....sorry bud yer on yer own.

Dont we all have iPhones and androids by now? keeping the intranet site bookmarked on your phone browser would make it easily accessible. I was at a wedding reception at this hotel recently and i had 4g in the lower big rooms.

That's AWESOME! Each year cell signal has gotten better at that location. This even takes over that whole lower floor. And for years cell signal was awful but last year I could at least send and receive text messages. But to hear you had a good signal is promising. (I am excited for our old guys with wives and kids at home.)

I don't think it's the area's coverage you have to worry about, it's more a matter of the signal getting to the room we're in.
