Dragon's Hobbies

I like the concept!

Alright, so what times/evening(s) sound good for you?

I'd also like to throw in www.eyeplaygames.com as an online resource for getting our Robo Rally fix.

The Robo Rally one sounds cool to me.

::)  oookayyy... so what times/evening(s) sound good for you?

How about the alternating Wednesdays during weeks that we don't have other events? Later in the evening is better for me, but I'm sure that other people would rather have something earlier.

Okiedoke...  Next Wednesday around 8pm, I'll start a game and invite everyone who comments on this thread after this point with a note saying that they've signed up to the eyeplaygames.com site.  Make sure to give your robot's name as well. 

I'll put the vent info on the in-game chat window of the first game.

So before next Wednesday, make sure you have downloaded Ventrilo (the client it's free), and make sure you have set up an account on eyeplaygames (also free).

See you there.

I'll be there!

I'll do my best to be there. Wednesdays are going to start getting busy due to the new programming on TV. 8pm should be manageable.

Okay... since no one actually replied back with the name of their robot, can I assume zero interest? ???

I created a game, and tried inviting people based on their Dragons Hobbies names, and Wyldwing was the only one I was able to successfully find.  However, since he never told me for sure, I'm not positive that the Wyldwing on the game site is actually Charles. 

Just saying, "Yes, I'll be there" doesn't do any good.  If you want to do one of these, then I NEED your robot name or I can't invite you. 

And given people's schedules, I think that trying to get everyone on at the same time is a fools errand... so let's just try doing it the way that the site intended and just check in and play when you're able.

Sorry, I hadn't replied before with my name. I'm pretty sure that dragon76n was my username and I'm trying to get my password reset now.

Good point about the schedules though. I'm going to try to be online tomorrow evening around 8PM.

Update: I just got an email back from the administration at eyeplaygames.com. Apparently my account has been inactive too long or something and has been suspended. I'm trying to get it reactivated.

As I mentioned in another thread, I have a mandatory office dinner tonight.

Honestly, though...even after tonight I have too many things taking up my time.  As we're doing every other Wednesday get togethers, I don't want to take away more time from the family.

And I do like our every other Wednesdays...so count me out for the online get togethers.  :(  But if it keeps our in-person get togethers going...I'm all for it.

Ok, exactly why I'm saying don't worry about trying to do it at any one time... this works like Dragon's Conquest game.  All you have to do is check on it once a day, 5 minutes tops.  Forget about Wednesdays.

I'm still waiting on my account to be reactivated. I was thinking that it was more like Bretspeilwelt too, but it has been quite a while since I've been on there and I didn't really look around much recently.

I'm signed up.
robot name= tampamac

I've completed the first two training missions. I feel like I'm ready to give it a go.

Mac

I'm still waiting on my reactivation.

Have you tried making a second account?

I was thinking about that, but their website says "Only one account is allowed per person. "  I don't want to create another account and get both of them permanently locked.

That's to prevent one person from controlling multiple robots in one game and using them to block other players or stay virtual by stacking them.  If you're other account is locked, and they aren't bothering to unlock it, I can't see that they'd have a problem with you making a new one.

Okay, I've created the first game with myself, Wyldwing and Mac.  We can create a second one once Dragon gets his account problems resolved. 

I chose a fairly easy one to start with.  No thrusters or spacial objects not in the board game version.  Enjoy! ;D

I've sent one more email to the admin of eyeplaygames.com to try to get my old account reset. If I don't get something in the next couple days I guess I'll just have to come up with a new identity.

There is an FBI office in St. Pete. I bet they could help set up a new identity for you. You should give them a call.



NOT. :P

Wylders, is there a holdup with starting the game? 

http://www.eyeplaygames.com/roborunner/games/305494/P0/

You are Wyldwing on the EyePlay site, right?  I never did get a response about the actual name of your robot.

Guys...you are just going to have to play without me.

Can't fit it into my schedule (obviously).  10/15 deadline is breathing down my neck and has been for two weeks...

The show must go on...

Sorry.  We do need to discuss what we're doing with Saw next week...

I haven't gotten through the Training Missions yet, but feel free to add me to a game. My roboname is Zartan.

Work is cracking down on internet use. I'll check the game when I get home today.

Mac

Ok, Zartan is ready.

Don't forget to check in when you get home Mac.

Ok, Mac, to get Charles out of game 001 so we can continue you need to type:

Wyldwing

Are we done there? I'm sure TylerChuit is going to win this last race, but I was just curious if we're going to finish.

I guess we are.  Killed by lack of interest...

Yep. Well... I'd be interested in playing again sometime, if there was at least one other interested person since Robo Rally for only 2 players doesn't sound all that exciting. I definitely like that I can play it with very small amounts of time.

I will play.  I just need help getting started.

Have you gone through the training missions yet? There are 10 of them. They are pretty quick, especially since it's just you against some "Scanner" bots. If you complete all 10 without deleting them from you will eventually run out of games that you can play, since you can only be in 10 at a time, so you'll have to delete them (Logout) in order to get into anything after that.

Sorry I took so long, I was pre-occupied with Dragon Age.
I took my turn so we can finish the last game.

That should do it.  I got the move 2, so I can't see how you guys could knock me out of the IP.  I've found an online version of Formula De... any takers?

Sure.

I'm interested, count me in. Never played Formula de, is it a racing game?

Yep.  Maybe if Dragon is able to make it tomorrow night, we can play a quick lap.

No, sorry, still unable to make it on Wednesdays. My wife has Weight Watchers meetings that she goes to on Wednesday nights. Also this week is throwing lots of curve balls, so even if my wife didn't go to the WW meeting this week I still can't imagine that I'd have time right now. I just got home from the dentist office with the kids after helping out a client on some urgent issues this morning. This is the second day in a row already this week that I've had almost no study time during the day. 

Study time, understood.
Is there a website for the Formula de game?
I'm definitely interested.

Mac

How's Beth progressing on the weight watchers?  I hope she's doing well!!

Dragon, I signed up for the full account for Robo Runner which lets me build my own ships to play on.  I've made my first one and took the liberty of inviting you to test it out.

Ok. Sounds cool to me.

Your move.

Hehe, okay.

I'm usually in 15 - 20 games at any given time, so I check pretty regularly. ;)

Ok. It's a good reminder of a feature that I want for the SY game though. I definitely like to have email reminders, especially for sites that I haven't been visiting on a regular basis.

The page isn't loading at eyeplaygames.com. Do you know if this was scheduled maintenance?

No idea... I haven't been able to log in there since yesterdy either.

I just checked. It's back online now.

Your move.

Hey, I didn't automatically invite you, but if you go to the game room, I've made several games on my board for different multiples of players.  Care to help the Design Committee test out my ship?

Ok. I found the Hurricane ones and joined a couple.

I still think email notifications would be a nice feature for RoboRunner.

Well, if it helps, think of the "My Room" page as a secondary e-mail account that ONLY receives e-mail about then it's your turn. ;)

For most people on Eyeplay, an e-mail feature would be a bit obnoxious, since their inbox would quickly fill, and it's easier just to check the actual site.

You could always try joining more sessions, so checking would make more sense for you.  Sometimes it amazes me how much I have to coax you gamers into actually playing games.

Sir Dragon.  If you've given up on the Robo Runner games, let me know.  One of them is one move from being won by somebody, and they're just waiting for your input.

Sorry... lots of things going on, finals, Beth's mom sick, end of month stuff to do, and I completely forgot about this. I'm getting on there now.
