Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Curval on April 25, 2003, 08:13:48 AM
Gentlemen...care to battle tonight?

Let me know the best times for you and your preference for servers and maps.

Make sure you dl Roger Wilco...someone else should host the voice session, it doesn't make any sense for the guy who lives on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean to do so.  You can send the rest of us an e-mail with your IP address.

Dowding...it is going to be tough trying to schedule a get together around your time zone.  Maybe next weekend we can get a daytime game going.  This will be the first try so I'm not expecting us to be working well together yet...so its a bit of a tester for all of us.

I will be changing my handle in BF1942.

Look for BigJohnson.  :D

Curval, how does 9:00 Eastern sound? That would give us a couple of hours before the event formerly known as the TOD. I'll host RW, since I'm on a cable connection. If everyone who wants to participate could send me their email address at dahlen@charter.net then I'll send out my IP address for the RW session.

BigJohnson? Aw, cmon. The gag doesn't work unless you use your standard AH callsign with Johnson at the end! ;)

Okay, okay...Curval_Johnson it is.

:)

9.00pm EST sounds good to me.  TOD afterwards is a fine plan.  I am flying Axis in that one..you?  Last Friday didn't last long for me at all.  I tried to bomb a destroyer and the ack hit my ailerons...I couldn't pull out of the dive..:)  But, at least I took the heat off my wingman.

Ya, I'm Axis in this one as well. I got my but handed to me by Eagler of all people last week.  I'm not much of a 109 driver, as was all too painfully obvious last week! ;)

Post by: Curval on April 25, 2003, 10:06:11 AM
My buddy here is "in" tonight.  That is 3 of us so far.  His callsign was jonboy (in BF1942...he doesn't play AH)...so he will change this to jonboy_johnson.

I sent e-mails to Stinger and Sunking...no response yet.

I doubt Dowding will be awake at 2.00am to start playing, so the max we will prolly have is 5.

But...even 3 of us could have fun.

No probs guys. I'm going out tonight and won't be in until 3 am (probably). I'll probably be too inebriated/tired to play.

Play nice! :)

Post by: Curval on April 25, 2003, 12:14:52 PM
Dowding...fire an e-mail to me so that I have your addy, I'll forward it to banana too as he is going to host the RW session, in case you feel the need to kill things in your drunken state.

Ahh darts...it was my unofficial "minor" in college.  ;)  

We will have a go tonight and see if anyone wants to play again on Sat or Sun....depending on how it goes, I guess.  I have already informed "the one who must be obeyed" that I am playing tonight.  ;)

Yes, bring your friend...the more we get the better.

This awesome program that lets you connect to servers running your favorite games. It also has a buddy list. I can add your names and within minutes it will show any of you online and the server you are playing on so I can join you. Of course you need to register the program to get the buddy function working in realtime and allowing more than 4 buddys to your list.

Here is a link.

I'ts so much better than GameSpy IMO.

Unfortunately I work during this time. If you guys play on the weekend would it be alright if I join ya?
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Curval on April 26, 2003, 08:58:39 AM
Hey guys,

That was alot of fun last night.  Obviously it was our first effort and we really need to practice working together a bit...but I really enjoyed it.

At first it was chaos...spawning, running, dieing with regularity and very little co-operation, but as time wore on there was some good fights and a few laughable situations.

Big_johnson was hilarious last night...I watched him take a jeep and suicide into a couple of anti-tank guys who were bearing down on me.  When he jumped out and was subsequently blown up by a tank shell his body must have flown about 50 feet in the air.  I was worried his limp corpse was going to hit and kill me.

banana_Johnson was mighty handy on the fixed machine gun position.  He was mowing guys down with that pig like no-one's business.

Stringer_Johnson is pretty damn good with the sniper rifle.  He and I were perched on a hill sniping a base and he kept stealing my kills  :)  j/k.  What happened at the end dude?  You had some problems with that map?  Did you relog and try again or quit for the night?

Now that we have a better idea of what the game is like and how tough it is to stay together we can start to get better.

Thanks guys, great fun.

I saw visions of a scene from a John Ritter Movie. Think it was "SKin Deep" where he and another guy are trying to get lucky with this chick and accidentally find themselves in the same dark bedroom wearing glow-in-the-dark rubbers. Broke a rib it was so funny.

It's official....I'm hooked on BF1942. That was so much fun last night!  :D

We definately need to work on staying together and working as a team, but I think most of us were just trying to figure out how to play the game last night. It was a riot.

I had to log after a couple of hours, as "She who must be obeyed" was standing in the doorway asking when I was going to spend some time with the family. You know how that goes. :)

Anyway, check out this ultimate BF1942 tweek guide: http://www.tweaktown.com/document.php?dType=guide&dId=420

If we can get enough people from AH to join us, I think we should try to organize some league play with another squad(clan).
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Stringer on April 26, 2003, 01:27:43 PM
It was a blast!

I had some problems...relogged no go, but it did work after I rebooted..but by then it was getting late.

Look forward to this again!

Post by: SunKing on April 26, 2003, 02:40:59 PM
So are you guys gonna play tonight? I'm gonna stay home and watch the Kings game so I'll be around. TO much Sierra Nevada last night.

I might be..not sure about the others though.  If you see me in the MA yell and if nothing exciting is happening we can go kill some guys.

I played the demo for a bit....it was cool.  Is the real version any fun?  Think I might look for it on the way home tonight just cause my name would be cool......

Yo Sling Johnson! :D

Ya gotta get the full game, it's a riot. It's like WW2OL, only it's fun.

I got Oct's email, sounds like he's in for sure.

Anyone want to play tonight? I'm thinking 7:00 Central time. If interested, send me email, and I'll email you guys my RW IP.

My home email is dahlen@charter.net
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: sling322 on April 27, 2003, 08:43:11 AM
Well they had it at Best Buy last nite, but they wanted $50 bucks for it!!

Is it worth $50 bucks?

I will try to pick it up in a couple of weeks maybe.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Curval on April 27, 2003, 09:12:01 AM
7.00pm Central...that would be 9.00pm for me (I think)...it's 8.00pm EST, right?

Either way, I'm up for a game.

I'll send out an e-mail to everyone who's address I have so far.

The list is currently:

Big_Johnson
banana_Johnson
Stringer_Johnson
Sunking_Johnson
Jamusta_Johnson
Octavius_Johnson
Curval_Johnson

I need Dowding's e-mail address, he wants to play...Sunking has a buddy who also wants to play, but I don't have his e-mail addy yet either.

$50 is less than I paid Sling...but I'm surprised it is still that high...it is a testament to the games popularity.  Will you get $50 enjoyment out of it?  Friday night was $50 worth of entertainment by itself.  :)

Hope to see you guys tonight.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Octavius on April 27, 2003, 02:53:38 PM
Tally-ho! 7:00 pm Central it is.

So uh, what is the exact server name?
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Curval on April 27, 2003, 03:02:28 PM
Octavius,

There is no way to tell...servers fill up and go up and down regularly.  Just hook up Roger Wilco, banana will e-mail or post the IP address, and we'll tell you which one we are in.  

Looking forward to it.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Wanker on April 27, 2003, 03:49:15 PM
Sorry guys, going to have to cancel on you tonight. My 4 yr old son contracted some nasty stomach flu this morning, so it looks doubtful that I'll be able to make it tonight. If he stops throwing up by tonight, then maybe I can still make it, but for now don't plan on me being there.

Curval, if you guys go ahead and play tonight anyway, please email me the RW IP address. I'll try to make it if he shows some improvement.

And yes, 7:00 Central time is 8:00 Eastern. I live in the same timezone as HiTech Creations.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Curval on April 27, 2003, 06:23:01 PM
eeeeeeeeks..I'm gonna be late.  My oldest had a long nap today and is still up.

It doesn't look good for tonight.

Oct, sorry man...looks like it may not be until next weekend that the Johnsons are back in action.

banana..hope your little one is okay.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Octavius on April 27, 2003, 06:54:13 PM
okie dokie.   I can't make it either, leaving in 2 minutes for a movie.  :cool:
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Wanker on April 28, 2003, 10:13:24 AM
Oiy. Son finally stopped throwing up at 10:00 last night, but it was a long, brutal day.

Let's try to get the Fighting Johnsons back in actin on Friday night before the TOD, sound good to all? 9:00 Eastern? That gives us almost 2 hours before the TOD.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Curval on April 28, 2003, 12:26:49 PM
Sounds good to me...I will relay to Big_Johnson. (just did..he will check with the wife)

Glad to hear your son is better.

I got an e-mail from Dowding_Johnson...I have his home addy for you to add to your address book.  I'll send it in a few minutes.

I played for a bit on the Market Garden map last night.  I sniped a few guys from the church tower and then backed up knowing that as it was an EA server the bad guys knew where I was.  I went behind the top of the stairs and waited with my hand-gun drawn.  Sure enough the lambs came to the slaughter...:D Great fun.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Curval on April 30, 2003, 10:17:04 AM
Okay..since I have only had a couple of responses for Friday night I figured I would post again here.

Who is playing Octavius, Big, banana and I are the four so far (Oct will confirm for sure on Friday).

Anyone else?  If you have BF1942 you are welcome to join us.

Lemme know.

Friday evening is terrible for me. If Im home I will be in the TOD with my squad. Any other days?
Title: The Fighting Johnsons

I open to a change in date.  I can pretty much work around anything...suggested days and times guys?
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: jamusta on April 30, 2003, 06:37:06 PM
Usually anytime during the weekend is good for me. Well except for my reserve weekends. I know that no one is up at the time I get off work.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Curval on May 02, 2003, 09:30:29 AM
Jamusta...anytime except Friday at 9.00pm, right?  ;)

Bumping this..haven't heard from everyone.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Wanker on May 02, 2003, 09:34:18 AM
I'm ready to play again tonight before the TOD. I'll post my RW IP here by around 8:30 Eastern.

Curval, I'm going to make a separate thread for tonight, hoping that we'll get some more folks.
Title: The Fighting Johnsons
Post by: Curval on May 02, 2003, 09:37:51 AM
Fine banana..I'll leave it to you.  Thanks.

I'll play tonight, even if it is just you and me (possibly Big and Ovtavius too).

We can try and play Saturday or Sunday too for a couple of hours.
