Ooooooohh YEAH, baby!
I hop on the game grid wondering if I'll find anyone out there among the high-ping servers available.
What do I find?
Tronfaq,aka redrain85, was hosing a game!
What's better than that?
There were actually programs out there playing!
AND, my ping didn't suck!
I was actually getting a ping close to what I'd get on the Dayentech servers!
Now I seemed to have the best ping of everyone out there... well, ecept for the zero-pinger himself - tronfaq. I wish everyone could have had more equal pings, but to be honest - I was just happy to be pinging under 100 again!
While out there, I had the pleasure of meeting up with CyberShaman (been a while - wb), ReCycler (who was tearing up the game grid), ldso://tronfaq (great to see a fellow TRON-Sector member out there!), x2, AnimeMasta and SparKs.
Well the action was great and we all had a blast out there! I only wish I could have stayed longer. I was really digging the action out there tonight.
I didn't play so bad - those damn walls weren't eating me alive tonight, though I did smack in to a few pretty good. It was great seeing you out there on the light cycle game grid, tronfaq - I don't believe we've met up on the game grid before. You're pretty good out there. You took me down good a few times - there's just NOTHING like a good take down! I got you good a couple of times too.
I'm so glad you decided to host the game too. I hope you're able to keep your server running frequently. Thanks for that tonight - I REALLY need some quality game grid time. Like I said - I only wish I could have stayed longer.
We'll see you all again on the game grid again soon!

Yeah, that was great. People were actually playing in numbers. Nice to see.

Yep, the pings haven't been too bad for most people. My connection seems to be doing all right. It's tough to judge what the best settings should be, so I've been on the conservative side to ensure everyone has a good connection.
I'll try tweaking it some more, but I don't want to push it too far and make the experience crappy for everyone.
Now I seemed to have the best ping of everyone out there... well, ecept for the zero-pinger himself - tronfaq. |
Sorry . . . can't help it, I'm playing over my LAN. But I'm so rusty anyway, that even with zero ping I still lose a lot.
I had the pleasure of meeting up with CyberShaman (been a while - wb) |
Definitely. I haven't seen him for a loooong time until tonight. But then, I've been something of a ghost myself.

It was nice to see you too . . . for the first time, actually! I've never been on at the right time, so that I could meet you on the grid.

Like I said, I think you're too modest!
You're pretty good out there. You took me down good a few times - there's just NOTHING like a good take down! I got you good a couple of times too. |
My wheels still have some rust on them, though. Heh. And yep, you sure did nail me good a few times!
I hope you're able to keep your server running frequently. Thanks for that tonight - I REALLY need some quality game grid time. |
No problem. I tried running servers before . . . but everybody went to DayenTech. I guess I can't blame them, either.
But with DayenTech gone, now it makes sense for me to run some servers again. I'll try to keep them up 24/7 as much as possible, for the forseeable future.
Hopefully he will come back at some point, though!

Redrain, what's the name of your server? I'm going to try to get on tonight if I can, barring any of the production problems that kept me from hopping online last night.

Naa - you weren't so bad. You did pretty well out there. If that's "rusty" - I can't wait to see you all in the game again!

Yeah - it would be nice if he could get his servers running full time again. Until then - I'm glad you're going to try and keep your servers running as much as possible. That should keep the game grid from drying up.
Again - it was great meeting up with you. I hope we meet up again soon.

Okay, I just put some polls on my News site http://tronfaq.blogspot.com/.
These polls are to help me decide which maps to run on all the servers: LC, DA, and DM.
Please take a moment to vote in the polls, so I can figure out which maps should be in the rotation. After about a week, I'll implement the suggestions made by the poll results.
If you have any comments to make about maps that are missing from the polls but that you feel should be added, or if you have any suggestions for the server settings . . . then let me know. You can leave a comment on the News site, or you can leave a comment here.

Still hosting, but not for too much longer if no one shows up.

Dead as a doornail. The grid used to be hopping right about now; it's a shame.

Even though I've only been running my servers for about a week, a clear pattern has emerged.
Most people play in the afternoon during the week, not the evening. I guess they do it while they're waiting to pick up their kids from school, before they have to go to the evening shift at work, etc.
It's generally only on Friday evenings that the grid is bustling with activity at night.
I can assure you, the grid is not dead yet.

Yeah - I've noticed that the game grid has not exactly been bursting with life lately. I think a part of that may be Dayentech's servers going down. Perhaps some people took that as a sign of the game grid (as we know it) being gone. I am hoping more people realize that redrain85's ( tronfaq ) servers are up and running and can handle pretty good pings (depending on how far you are from them). I still hit the game grid a few times a week, and I usually find people out there. If not, I'll stick around for about 10 minutes or so and more often than not, someone will join. I do end up hitting the game grid without anyone showing sometimes though.
I miss the old heyday of the light cycle game grid. Sadly, I think as the heyday was just starting to ebb away is when I first started playing (May 2004). Still, I loved meeting up with the regulars and always had a blast!
There aren't many regulars anymore. Even Layer hasn't been hitting the game grid much lately. But his lack of game grid time is probably due to a major computer problem he's been dealing with. I did come across him recently though - he still finds ways to hit the game grid!
Crash is often out there and he's always great fun to compete with. He usually gets the best of me, but win or loose - there's nothing like a good take-down! Every once in a while, Brina is out there too. She's a lot of fun to compete with as well, not to mention a trip to chat with.
I guess I'm kind of a regular out there. I don't get to hit the game grid nearly as often as I'd like, but light cycle action NEVER gets old to me. I LOVE the game and greatly enjoy meeting up with whoever I can find out there for some high-speed, 90-degree, death-by-deresolution fun!

No it is not. It may not be as full of life and energy as it once was, but it is not dead. And thanks to your servers holding down the fort... er, game grid - there's still plenty of fun to be found out there!
Of course, I wish more people would join. And what ever became of the rest of the regulars? Have we been forgotten about? Is the latest game that much better than the classic game grid we all enjoyed?
Come on folks! Games will continue to evolve and graphics get better and blah blah blah. BUT they'll never make another multiplayer game that is as simple and yet so incredibly addictive as light cycles!

How sweet, fresh MEAT! Heh heh heh heh heh heh.
Just kidding, Nikster. Looking forward to meeting up with you on the light cycle game grid!
One thing you should know is that we ALL sucked the first time we hit the game grid. It took me several months before I could get out there and not be derezzed within the first few moments of each round. And it took me even longer to really get any good at it. But even though I sucked, I LOVED the game and the experience of being out there with folks playing it. I hope you'll stick with it and not be turned off by some early quick derezzes. We ALL start out like that. I'm hoping you'll become a new regular out there. We need more of those!
