Proposal : Inter Lego MP game

[Sharpe]

Yeah you heard me right - a multiplayer game !

Vondrack and I tested our pings and we were below 200 which might work for a MP game. Since he is in the Czech Republic and I am in Canada - that is a fairly low ping for that distance.

We could try it on some Sunday afternoon (in North America)(evening in Europe) or a Saturday morning (In NA)(afternoon in Europe).

Of course it might be an idea to check pings among the potential players first as I think the game would run at the speed of the slowest ping.

I would be willing to host unless someone has a faster computer and connection.

FYI I have:

2.4 Ghz Pentium4 - 1GB DDR-333 RAM with a cable internet connection

Post in here if you are interested in testing this out!

I'd be interested in giving it a whirl... it either works or it doesn't, right? My comp is a 1.6 Pentium4 with a cable internet connection. And yes, we should definately check ping... and maybe hope for another patch shortly...

[Sharpe]

I am still around if you want to check ping now Zargon. Just pm me or go in the Lego chat room if you want to try tonight.

I would also give it a try - our ping with Sharpe was around 200ms, often even lower (in the green). Ideally, this Saturday (Feb 22) afternoon/evening/night my time, as my gf will be away... I can stay up as long as I wish.

As if I was restricted in any way, when she is here...

I can't I don't want to ruin your game with my dial-up connection; plus, I don't want to spend my whole salary on the phone bill Damn, I don't know why I'm smiling. I want to play and I can't

I'll give it a shot, but my ping probably isn't that good. I have a strange set-up. I have a satelite connection, which is faster than dial up but slower than cable. I get around 200ish at best.

Please check my ping and if it's good enough (use your own judgement) than I'm in. Otherwise, that's fine I'll stick with my PBEM games.

I don't know what processor I have at home (I'm at work now). It's only 6 months old, so I think I'm in good shape.
