Title: Grogheads Friday Night Rumble Poll
Post by: Bison on November 18, 2012, 10:00:15 AM
OK.  The options that seem to have the most possibility for the next Friday Night Rumble are up for a community vote.

Please only vote if you intend or have a desire to play.  We can look at extending the hours or creating 2 seperate blocks for Friday Night Rumble to include our Euro brothers in arms.  Also please post your choice and estimated level of commitment.  We all understand real life takes priority at all times so there will be no hard feelings if you cannot make it.

Poll will run for 4 days and you can change your vote if you want.  The poll will be non-binding right now.  I don't want to put a game in the slot if 50 people vote for it but only 4 people sign up.

My take on the games.
1. L4D2 -  We done it already but it works well for smaller groups.  If we get more than 4 player, we can do a versus mode game. 
2. TF2 - It's free so everyone can download to play.  Draw back is we'll have to join an empty public server and use the map that is running on that server.  Not a huge issue but it's there.
3. WH 40K Space Marine.  I just bought it because it was dirt cheap with a few other games at Amazon.  I seems to have a 4 player co-op or a 4 versus 4 multiplay game mode.
4. RO - We'd either need to join a public game and form a squad or take over an empty public server to play against each other.
5. Warlock -  It would require a much longer commitment than just one evening.  I'm willing to play but it might be something better played on a seperate dedicated night.  Actually I'm inclinded not to include it in the Rumble Night events because of the commitment.
6. Other - Well what you got to recomment?

My vote was Warlock.  As I have commented in the Friday Night thread, my time is basically my own on the weekends, so I can dedicate some time then.  I also noted, for our European brothers, I am available in the morning Stateside, which translates to afternoon and early evening for them.  As for level of dedication, unless it's something I can't talk my way around with my girlfriend, I should be able to make a weekly appearance for what game I dedicate myself to.

I voted for Warlock but I understand there is a commitment so it won't work for everyone.


I would also like to add another voice to the growing ARMA II choir.   ;D

I think you should allow 2 votes each so we can each choose a fallback. Also, it sounds like you may want to add ARMA2...  :D

Unfortunately I cannot change the number of votes but I'll add in an Arma 2 option.  And you should be able to change your vote each day for the undecided.

FYI:

Gamersgate has WH40K:Space Marine on sale for $7.49 today.  Looks like GetGamesGo also has it on sale for the same price.

OK the polls closed early based on plans made down in the opponent finder section.

The Friday Night Rumble game will be Warlock

Sign up for the event on the Steam group event tab.  http://steamcommunity.com/groups/grogheads#events/1731894586270212079

The group will need some one to take the lead and manage setting up the game and inviting everyone into it.  I suspect that this game will spawn into a longer term battle to determine who is the greatest Groghead Warlock of all time.

Good luck to all who sign up.
