Speed Gamers Usergroup [Always Needing More Members]

Okay so the last few days have been filled with some very disappointing speed games. They were mostly high ranked games except for that 1 low ranked private or corporal that sneaks in and ruins the game. I'm not saying all low ranked players are bad ... just enough to make me post this :)

My idea is simple. Yes there are various threads for Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains etc. But it is very hard to organize speed games in those threads. So what I want to make is a List for speed games. In other words everyone who is interested can post their name and rank and when someone is creating a speed game and doesn't want it crashed by low ranks they can check out this list and try and fish for higher ranks.

Of course not everyone will be on but at least this could be an option. Plus once you start finding higher ranks to play with it'll be easier to make games:)

Once this picks up speed and the list is nice and long 'private' speed games will be recognized as list games and people can join them with the password.

A usergroup has been created and our forum is just needing members to check it regularly:). This will make it easier to organize speed games, share instant messenger addresses and online times.

So here it goes. If you want to know the standard password just ask and I, or anyone, can pm it.


To join the the Speed Gamers just click the link, browse the usergroup information and click to join. If you are above Sergeant First Class you will be automatically added. If not you can get 3 people already in the group to nominate you (they'll know how) and then you can join.

So far we have 50 members, but the more we have the easier it will be for games to fill. So far the 1v1's and smaller games have filled okay but the larger games drop.

Might as well set a standard password for these private speed games. So if a private speedgame is set up, it'll be only the ones on this list joining these games.
Well, count me in.
By the way, rank shouldn't really matter. Maybe invite only, so we can be sure it's only people who know how to play. Recently got beaten up by a private that played like a pro. The game before, a sergeant first class suicided me on the whole board after 3rd round.

fair enough but the easiest way to start a list is to use rank. If exceptions up later on they can be invited in.

The quickest way to expand this list will be to invite everyone you want to play with and they do the same etc:).

I'll pm you with that password now.

Wouldn't really matter. Once it grows you will start to get a feel for who likes whats. Most of my fustration was out of 6-8 player classics but i know otheres play different kinds. The way that I get a feel for who plays what is to stalk them in 'join a game' lol:P

Either way works. I wouldn't be so worried about down but if you want to show your rank is up let me know:)

Welcome to my world. Yet I get negs in the process for being teamed against by low ranks when I voice my opinion about their game play. Nice idea Carolyn! :lol:

theres various ways. i called it a pm list for a reason, if you make a game you can pm people you think are online atm. you could also exchange msn's and communciate that way, like we did today.

this is just a way to find higher ranked players that play a lot of speed games.
