SVA Practice info.
Since nobody else has bothered to post this, I will. Just wondering when is a good time for everybody to practice. I'm free anytime until college starts up again, then it will more than likely be weekends. If all other SVA's would post when they're available I could organise times, etc. since I quit my job :cheers: and have nothing else to do for the next month.
Weekends would be great especialy if you guys in the US could organise some thing in ure AM time which would be great as then it would be afternoon here.

All I have to really do is get a Gentoo box rigged in the next little while, and I'm on my own schedule, so just let me know when I should be around. I'm always up to practice, we're getting pretty good! :)
How about we shoot for tomorrow (Wednesday) at 9:00. See if anyone shows up. We can also shoot for Sat at 8.

I believe Toxic has left the vent & scrim server access available for us to practice on at any time. (Yet another reason to hold the DW guys in such high esteem :thumbup: ). So any time a group of SVA folks can get together on there would still be time well spent.
However, we do need to have large-group practice sessions as we need to work on our communication & coordination skills. Having 10+ people all trying to communicate over one voice channel can get confusing very quickly. Like in aviation, the voice channel should be used sparingly to get info to the people that need it. And that takes practice.
That said, our biggest issue getting people together is timezones. While a 3hr difference isn't so bad for the US/Canadian folks, the players from AUS, UK & EU are too far ahead to have mid-week late night practice, especially when most of us are working the next day. (Tho, I will gladly sacrifice next day alertness for late-night practice :drunken: ).
That basically leaves us with afternoon/evening times on weekends. So practicing 'strike-team' tactics in small groups can happen any time, especially if you see some SVA's on the public server & just decide to go to the scrim server for some 'together time'. But the large get-togethers I think need to happen during the *off* weeks between scrims at the regular scrim time.
Or am I just flapping my gums? :error:
