GMT or BST?
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Left 4 Dead is super fun with a group. I'd also recommend trying out GTA4 multiplayer as a group. It is honestly amazing, especially if you get in free mode and make up gametypes like in the good old days of Halo 2 customs. I'm on a GTA4 kick since I'm getting pumped for the next one.

Sundays would totally work for me.

Holy god yes.

I was thinking of doing something like this, having a sort of "Gauntlet." Play a new game each month, and then at the end of the month split people in teams (as per necessary) and compete. People will get points depending on how good they do in each game's end of the month tourney, and then whoever has most points by end of a year gets a prize of some sort.

Issue was couldn't think of enough free and decent games.

Interested in this though.

I have Civ 5 base, but can't get into it, just find it really boring compared to 4. Have TF2, CS Source and GO, have Awesomenauts but I'm really unfond of it, have an untouched magicka, have the disappointment of the year Diablo 3, play tons of Dota 2, have SC2: HotS, could get worms, and have Me3.

Edit: Sundays are fine for me.

Sunday evenings would probably not work for me as I usually have work to do then. Otherwise my hours rotate every week so I can do most days some of the time but not any specific day all of the time. Sunday, however, will be a constant.

I have Civ 5 G&K but not BNW - I'll get it eventually but not yet.

By the way, for anyone who hasn't played it before, Worms is a must-do. It's an awesomely fun game that is made more awesome by the fact that it's very easy to be bad at it if you don't know what you're doing (leading to potentially hilarious results).

So it seems like Civ and TF2 are the top contenders, with L4D close behind. I'm thinking it might pay to have both games, as most of us seem to be experienced in one or the other. I'm fairly good at TF2, but have barely touched Civ.

Looks like we've settled on Sunday night as well. What I'm thinking is: let's run sign-ups for both games and get a headcount. If there're enough people to fill both, we can run them at the same time and you pick your favourite. If we're short on people, or enough want to do both, we'll do them at separate times. 'K?

I got really confused for a second until I realized I read 'probably not work' as 'probably work'. Ugh. How does Saturday work for everyone then?

Generally speaking, Saturday evenings (BST) would be pretty good for me.

Personally, I think TF2 is better for what we're doing than Civ... Civ tends to drag on and on and if anyone has to leave or something, it kinda ruins the game. TF2 is more "drop in and play" which might work better, but I'm not exactly opposed to either. I'm awful at Civ just FYi

if we're doing TF2 I can see about getting my old dedicated server running again, so we won't have to pub-hop

I wouldn't be opposed to TF2, I suppose, but I also probably won't be around reliably, so.

Starting out supremely crap is one of the attractions of playing TF2 with you guys, for me.

I much rather play Civ then TF2. I've never played CIV online and I'd like to.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I would suggest if we play civ, we break it into smaller games - an 8 person game takes far too long. 4 each game would probably be ideal.

I think I'm going to figure out some way to track stats across the various games we play. Now I just need to figure out how.

We could do this. Whoever isn't playing goes on TF2.
