Online league?

Post by **joehelmer** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 2:38 pm

I have a schoolholiday next week so I can play almost every day.

Post by **Tasku** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 3:10 pm

I also have all evenings available, so if Octavian, Davey and Frosty could let us know their freedays, we could decide a day for it.

New comers are also welcome, if they can find time for it. Let us know!

Hi everybody. Name's Alex. Read all your post here and absolutely wanna join. Think it's gonna be great with any league and can take any team at all (currently single-playin' Pittsbourg for 4 seasons - that's something, I think.) on a long basis. I'm free any evening at all, my time is GMT+3 (Moscow) and all weekends. There's only 2 questions to decide:

1) Hardware: got Athlon 2.5 GHz 1Gb RAM but only 56k connection.
Software: XP SP2
Is this cofiguration valid?
2) Actually (to my shame and disgrace) I'm totally rookie in online gamin'. So Will Anyone Be So Kind And Hit Me A Couple Advices or just show the door to knowledge (mean, send somewhere I can aquainted with the staff). Hey, I'm a fast-learning-monkey!

Thanks for attention.

Yep, that's fine. The connection is not a problem, if someone else hosts (I think).

Nothing to it really. All you need is patch 1.0.7 from this link http://www.sigames.com/downloads.php?type=game&id=14 and would be good if you'd have MSN Messenger, because that's what we use to set up the game.

Welcome!

About game upgrade, will it work if I got 1.0.5 version, 'cause I actually can't upgrade to 1.0.7 right now. Some inheritaged problems, @#%%!
Thanks, Octavian.

About Messenger. Well, what it's look like? I got something called "Windows Messenger", is that it? Think I can download this from net anyway. Still need clues to use it

MSN Messenger, sort of ICQ.

AlexCobra · Post by **AlexCobra** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 10:38 am

What do u mean sort of ICQ? I got ICQ, but ... ok, first thing first.
1) Cn u give me exact name of a program?
2) Do I need to download it from net?
3) How it works?
4) Who killed Kennedy? and
5) Is there life on Mars?
Sorry on this, Bloodhound Gang totally blows me up. And too sunny.

Octavian · Post by **Octavian** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 11:19 am

LOL

1) MSN Messenger 6.2
2) http://messenger.msn.com/
3) Just install, it's similar to ICQ. You need an HOTMAIL adress first (www.hotmail.com)
4) My dad said that I may not tell anyone that he was in Dallas. So I won't tell it.
5) I have family there

#@!>? You're welcome

It doesn't have to be a hotmail email, any email account will do

Post by **archibalduk** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 5:26 pm

Yeah, I think if you just sign up for MSN Passport rather than Hotmail.

Let's pack a bag:

- one MSN Messenger 6.02 - downloaded and registered
- one NHL EHM - patched to 1.0.5 and working
- three beer loads - ready and cold
- one heavy hammer - on a reach distance. Never know when it'll be of use..
- six Germans called Rammstein - playin' ("Du hast! Du hast mich!)
- one dumb Russian - still guessin' what buttons to press..

Have a space suit - ready to travel! (did anyone remember the author?)
Thanks for feedback

In my profile, what do I need to put in 'MSN Messenger' line? I throw e-mail address.

Post by **Tasku** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 11:31 pm

MSN Messenger uses email the same way as ICQ uses ICQ number. So you have an email address as your Messenger address.

the russian addition is funny

davey_nyrangerboy02 · Tue Mar 29, 2005 12:12 pm

welcome Alex

yeah, i have no problems with addin another gamer, more the better!

Alex ideally could you please choose one of the following teams to be, we have 5 players for the Northeast division so you cant join that division, but joehelmer the host is NYI on his own, so please be one of the following

- New York Rangers
- Philadelphia Flyers
- New Jersey Devils
- Pittsburgh penguins

to ppl askin im free all week, except Thursday i can only play upto 21GMT, cos i play in a football league at 9.45pm this week!

AlexCobra · Post by **AlexCobra** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 1:04 pm

Well, let's see. NYR is somewhat strong team, long and proud history, there are some good players, but to look closer.../*To think of it, Davey have a very interesting name, so takin' host's favourite team is a bit problematic... Alex needs problems? Ghosh, no! Alex hate problems.*/ No. Phyladelphia is really good, really, but somehow something tells me to step further. NJ Devils is what they are - devils in a hockey game, but their playin' style is like a dum-dum bullet in the head - let's call it just a murder. I like attacking style. Hi, Pittsbourg! Missed me? Didn't u remember 5 long seasons with me? No, wait! Hold your guns! I know it wasn't good /*actually, it was awful*/ but may be... No? You'll regret this! By the bloody demons of hell, you will sufferrr..... :evil:

So my selection is Philadelphia. Ready to play any time at all. Wake me up at night and give me a keyboard - and the game will go on! 8)

darn.

We have two options then

- Set a next time for the NHL game for Tuesday, next week/ 7days from now

- Carry on and set Octavian/Ottawa to vacation, and play a session

Post by **Tasku** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 9:52 pm

Sounds good to me...

I'll be in messenger

AlexCobra · Post by **AlexCobra** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 12:31 pm

Whatever you choose, I'll be available :clapping:

frosty · Post by **frosty** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 6:43 pm

Frosty is checking in...

The only day I am available this week is a Thursday...but I have just read that davey_NYR is unavailable on that date.

Tuesday April 5th is a go for me...how about the others?
