Online games with fellow forumers.
Possibly using a mod, such as TATW, if agreed in advance.
Lasts an hour or two in order to allow several games and for everyone to get involved
Is about having fun and hopefully relatively few 'standard rules' games. Interesting maps and scenarios are encouraged

Past experience shows there are many issues such as - timing, GameSpy being a brute, other connection issues.
I'd hoped to organise a forum party for over the holidays (see 'the waffle' below) but these things take organisation and I didn't organise it

If you're around at:
1 January 2012
4pm GMT (5 pm CET, err something like 11am EST I think)
4pm GMT (5 pm CET, err something like 11am EST I think)
then I hope to be online with plain M2TW for a half party - if anyone else can be there, or try to be there, then we can check that connections work, identify issues that people face and practice getting online at the same time.
If it goes relatively smoothly then I'll try to organise a proper party for a weekend in the new year - with proper announcements on the front page and everything.
If you're interested, post here (or if you're a lurker then just turn up) - it'd be nice to know if anyone else will turn up. Times can be changed, I just picked that one.
Many nights before Christmas, a long while ago, thoughts of the past battered my poor frazzled mind. Thoughts of battles of old and the joy that they brought (what but good could ever come of violence after all, and what better time to think of it?) and a plan came about.
A fool-proof plan, or so it began, one plan to rule them all, one plan to find forumers, to bring them all and via Gamespy bind them.
A forum party, to rival those of old, what could be better or simpler?
Alas the mighty powers of the plan were nought before me and I've managed to fluff it a bit
