It has been thought of before that we somehow have members play together in online games. Why not? We all found this site for our interest in videogames, so why not try to play them together?

The trick with this is that we are scattered all over the world, myself in Australia, some in America, a couple in Finland, and I don't know where else. This makes a lot of games unplayable, due to the lag such a distance creates. So for this to happen, we would need games that lag has little to no effect on. Such as turn-based games. We also need everybody to have the game, so it would be best if it was freely available, even if it's just a demo.

So, I would like to hear any suggestions of good online games that fit this description. No MMORPG's thank you, I have no intention of returning to Runescape or MapleStory ever again.

Some examples are Scorched 3D, Gunbound, and Worms Demos. Those are all artillary games though, so please add your own suggestions. Also, tell me whether you would be interested in playing if we could somehow manage to get around the time differences and get some games going. We may even be able to hold small tournaments.

I'll put a list here if enough suggestions are made.

I enjoyed the few rounds in Worms we played. UNfortunately I don't know of any games that quite fit this criteria, however I'd love to see the Guild manage something like this.

There's a game called tribalwars that's pretty fun. The name speaks for itself, you form a village, make an army, join tribes and conquer. Everyone there is a real person and there is only one time zone used (dunno which). It's a free online game and no downloading required. If we could decide on a world (there are 8 at the moment but unless you want to pay to get a premium account there are only 7 accessible, and World 8 is the most recent and n00b friendly version) it would make it so we could fight each other. There's no guarantee that we will be next or close to each other but it could be fun either way if we formed our own tribe.

Starcraft would probably work for me. I can't think of anything else.

Yeah, it was fun, which is why I would like to get something similar happening.

Is Starcraft free nowadays? Because I don't have it.

Tribalwars sounds a bit time-consuming. What sort of game is it? RTS?

And everybody, those games I mentioned were serious suggestions.

yeah... well, America playing with Europe and Europe playing with Australia shouldn't be a problem...... but Australia with America could be more of a problem... I think...

In the interest of having at least one dumb question per topic I'll ask:

....Why?

And no, no suggestions from me. I haven't really played online, except KoL.

Because it's pretty difficult between Australia and anywhere:P We have slow internet in general.

I forget which game KoL is. No suggestions, but would you be interested?

Really? Curious.

KoL = Kingdom of Loathin. Haven't played it in a while though, got a bit bored once I finished it once......and moved.....and had exam.....lol all the normal stuff.

And me being interested depeds on a few things: if I like the game, if I have the time to actually play it, if I don't totally suck at it lol, and if I'm not feeling incredibly crappy. But yeah, sure, it sounds like it could be pretty fun. lol Wouldn't have to care even if I didn't have anything tosay.

Guns is a Third-Person Shooter, so lag would be a problem, haven't heard of Khwon ho before. BTW, I do have a few reasons for saying no MMORPGs.

Sithy, alright:D Any particular genre?

And a note to everyone, you can all set up your own games if you want, the three of you that wanted Starcraft could set something up, though I would like to concentrate on games that we could ALL download and play. Personally, I'm about to start work, so weekends would be the time I'd be doing anything like this.

starcraft would be a good idea because anyone who doesnt have it can get the battlechest (starcraft, brood war expansion, and strategy guides to both) for 10$.

Provided they can find a place that stocks it. Personally, I wouldn't use it apart from any games we got going here, so it's not all that appealing to me.

Nexuiz -a quake-esque deathmatch. Lag could be problematic though.

Stick Arena - fun flash murder mayhem.

I suggest anyone who hasn't played Worms, to go download the demo. It really is fun. But of course, there really isn't enough variety for that to stay fun for too long.

Hey Draco, do you know which Worms demos have online multiplayer? I looked at the text for World Party, but it didn't say.
