Live Speed Press Games

[burner]

I am considering hosting live, 5 minute phase/2 minute build full press games, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in that?

If the games don't take a horrendously long time, I may consider making it a regular thing, every couple of weeks or so.

Would anyone be available on Monday Aug. 28 at around 3:00 PM MST? I will open the game at 2:00 PM and let people join for an hour.

P.S. This may or may not actually happen. I'm not sure exactly what my availability is right now.

I have actually scheduled a game for 5:00 PM MST today, so that will start in 2 hours if anyone wants to join that.

I'll join your game, OP.

[burner]

Come on everyone! The game is unranked so there's no risk in it!

[burner]

Well that was a complete failure.

I think it was perhaps not the best time of day for most people - middle of the night for Europe, evening meal time (or approaching) for US people, Monday morning in Australia.

[burner]

True, but then again, is there ever a good time?

[echidna]

Maybe 9pm Saturday evening UK time = 10pm for continental Europe, noon in Brazil, 1pm - 4pm across N. America. Only the truly dedicated in Australia would be available at 6am on Sunday though...

Ok let's try this. I don't expect this to go any better but whatever.

2:00 PM MST Monday Aug 28 (which is 9:00 PM UK)

Post here if you can join

Fourth times the charm right?

A bit more notice on this one, Monday Sept 4th 12:40 PM MST.

Again, please post if you're interested

Wow, this has ended up being a real hassle.

Now it's scheduled for Sept. 4th 1:20 PM MST, because I had to remake the game.

I am most likely going to be joined by someone I know outside of the game. We do not plan on using this to our advantage, but if you're not Ok with that, don't join.

I won't be able to join for the scheduled game, but I'd definitely be interested in speed games if this manages to become a regular thing.

Glad to hear that! At least someone's interested!

I'm interested sporadically, but not unranked.

I understand that. I was planning on sort of an introductory first game, just so I could get used to it, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to ranked games.

This Discord server was set up to run Blitz Press games, which are very similar to what you're looking for: https://discord.gg/CCAdWu47W2

It's been a bit inactive, but there are 200ish people there who are interested in these kind of games, so it's a good place to look.

Thanks! I'll have to look into it.

I've got a much more competitive game here, and it's scheduled for a saturday far in advance! I have a bit of hope for this one!

60 to join, and SoS scoring.

Actually, don't use that link, it was scheduled for the wrong time. Just post if you would like to join, I will have to wait before I can actually post the game.

[burner]

sigh

Nevermind, here's the new link. It is now scheduled for 1:10 PM MST on the same day.

If a developer sees this, I'd like to request a game scheduling feature, so that I don't have to have perfect timing when I start a game
