Where and how much in advance? We got a couple people out of #fedora-games who were hanging around when things get started for armacycles this past weekend. Would announcing something there an hour or two in advance be better? > Or make an announcement on the wiki like "Every Monday Night ..." > That would work better for me. There are several issues here. Currently we don't have a best time and so it's a bit early to standardize on time. The 1700 UTC time seems like it should be good for NA, SA and EU which likely covers a good chunk of our users. Standardizing on a single time per week will make it difficult for some people to play. This may be a necessary evil to make things work though. I can't commit to sponsoring games every week. Until other people start stepping up to organize as well as play, we really can't run every week. If this actually starts taking off, then I would expect a SIG to form to get sponsors to sign up and run events regularly. Maybe specific games would run specific weeks of the month or something. I probably would be giving up about now, but I have found it useful for me to learn games. Usually someone who plays regularly shows up and teaches me something about how to play (either about playing the game itself or about good setup values to use). Eventually I'd like to get my weekly LAN game group to try playing some Fedora games instead of the Windows ones we currently play. And knowing good set up values and how to play more games will help with this. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
