Monkeh has already mentioned it, but I thought it deserved its own thread :)

Mix group designed for newer players, we could use some more people willing to do mixes; we have 5 a day and theres still people wanting more :)

If you know any public players who are interested in making the step up or whatever, feel free to invite them to the group

This is getting bigger by the day, we’re up to 7 mixes a day and people are still missing out and wanting more. We have servers available but it would be great if we could a few more experienced members to play occasional games with some new players. Some of these guys are nowhere near as bad as you may think, plus they do listen to calls….sometimes.

Anyway, would love some people with a bit of experience to play with them and guide them around a bit, medics, pocket sollies and demo’s especially so you can call.

Join the steam group and speak to an admin about it all, we may even have a server located in on the North American landmass available to us soon as well, so we may even go intercontinental!

So far there is a lot of interest and I’m getting nagged about organising mixes all the time, their enthusiasm is impressive. We have 174 members and more joining every day.

Some comments from the new guys:

Thanks to all the people organizing this, I’ve enjoyed the games a lot and learned more than I would in a month of normal playing

midnight mix please?

So yeah, what with work and our own teams to sort out, it would be great to get some more of you guys in to play and shout at them what to do and where to go, add me or just join the group, cheers, see you soon…

I’ve wanted to get involved but the mixes fill up so quickly, I’d feel bad taking a new guys place on one.

It would be great if we could get more than one mix happening at once you see, so people dont have to be so quick. I’m happy to give a few trusted peeps the rcon of the .:ne:.double mix server we use, so games can be arranged whenever there is someone around to update the event page and play with them. We have mumble channels ready to go at all times too.

These things fill within 5-10 minutes at the moment, so having a couple happening at the same time will be a huge bonus. Plus this Friday night we’re going to try to get 4 servers filled at the same time, any help there would be great.

Joined the group, no idea how it actually works though, is there a mumble server where everyone hangs out waiting to mix or something?
Would also be willing help out noobs etc if they have questions.

Keep up the great work, guys!

An admin posts an event, gives out the mumble details and start time in the announcement and then people post with what class they wanna play. Admin updates the list of players in the event and everyone joins mumble. Teams are sorted in as fair a way as possible and then away they go.

What we really need is more people to actually take over the ‘running’ of the event, play with them and really just call a bit, go over roll outs, if needed, and maybe give them some advice on positioning etc. The guys who play probably know who’s good so I leave it to them to sort the teams out.

Most of them have been double map affairs as it’s proved easy to get subs if required as they pretty much all turn out over subscribed these mixes and fill up in at most 20 minutes, usually at any time of day, demand is high :)

So if you reckon you might have a spare hour and a half, plus half an hour to get it organised and announced etc, at any time of day or night speak to one of us about getting admin rights, schedule an event and if you need one, both .:ne:. and, I think IDK, have at least 1 server available specifically for these guys to play on.

I can help out early or late at night, most days. Is there a way to put my name down for when a ‘pro’ (and I use that word in the loosest of senses) is needed to play and main call. Also up for doing any Q and A when needed.

Or do you just join the group and wait?

Best way to pro it up is to start one yourself and pick a class, offer up any Q+A’s in mumble. Having the admin status so you can start an event shows you iz da pro.
