Saturday Games
Posted: October 9th, 2011, 9:01 pm
Alright, presuming I "finish" the elf update before this weekend, I'm going to push for Saturday games to get started. This is almost guarunteed.
These will work differently than Sunday games. The goal is to hopefully get some new players into EotA, so we'll be doing public games with the bot. Starting around 2pm EST (2 hours earlier, will setup steam event), just jump onto whatever game the bot's hosting. Ideally we'll have 3v3 or 4v4 known players, and let pubs fill out the other slots. We know that people do join the bot's games, they just leave before long because its empty, so having 6/8 others waiting for the game to fill will hopefully be enough to get some people to stay around.
It'd obviously be ideal to keep an eye out/help out new players, and particularly not to just form stomp teams. Given the history of EotA's community I don't expect much success on this front, but I'm obligated to mention it.
