Gaming The Nexus

[Retribution]

[size=1][B]Note:[/B] This thread is not a discussion about the forum "The Nexus" that was created and deleted a while back. It is more angled towards what The Nexus was going to be, sort of a thread that performs a simplified version of its functions.

I was looking at the Wi-Fi codes for Nintendo DS users, and I realized there was no place to plan out online matches with other OBers. That is what this thread is for. For arranging console (any platform), computer, or handheld-based online games between us OBers.

Please don't post friend-codes or handles for long-term storage (i.e., allowing people to access them in a list for long periods of time) in this thread. It'll be hectic enough with platforms, computers, and handheld matches flying all around, so cutting down on the clutter is a plus.

I believe if there is an explosion of activity, this thread might be split into subsections (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, etc.) but until then, try to follow this vague format what posting up times for matches:

[b]Platform/Game medium:[/b] Nintendo DS, for example.
[b]Game name:[/b] Full name to avoid confusion.
[b]Date, time:[/b] Please include a timezone, or else everything is disoriented.
[b]Number of players:[/b] Number of available spots for specific event.
[b]Notes/Info:[/b] Any further information you'd like to include. This could be anything like battle format to tournament specifics.

Feel free to modify this as you see fit, I just thought it would be a good start to provide some semblance of order. That's to post/schedule a game, and if you'd like to show interest in it, be sure to specify which event you're talking about. Things could get really hectic, so clarity is a plus.

Questions and suggestions are welcome, but I know about as much about this as you do. It'll be a learning experience![/size]

[color=#4B0082]Someone set up a time for Mario Kart DS. I feel the need to school all of you again. I'm free pretty much whenever during the afternoons/evenings, Pacific Time.[/color]

[B]Notes/Info:[/B] This time's not really nailed down, but I can't make it from about 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM EST due to previous engagements. Feel free to tell me when you can make it, or if we just need to do things Wednesday.[/size]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Yup. I can make that. That's two of us then. We need two more.. And hey, don't be worried about making a fool of yourself infront of OBers, with me in the game you're guaranteed third.

[color=#4B0082]You gave me a run for my money when I wasn't using mini-turbos or snaking. We'll see if you can stand up to my true Mario Kart skillz.

And I should be able to make it, so you can count me in. I'll get on AIM and start a chat for all the trash talking, too. :p[/color]

I probably won't be on until 11:00 PM EST at the earliest, but you can count me in too. With me in the group you can rest assured that none of you will come in last place. :)

EDIT: My friend code is 420982-807257, by the way.

EDIT2: I guess that putting my friend code in this post is okay since it's not all that I'm posting. :p

[B]Notes/Info:[/B] Starting around 10pm, everyone will sign onto AIM and get into the Nexus chat. We'll all head over to Kakariko (Des' town) and have a giant party! Maybe we'll have a fishing tourny, maybe we'll have a bug contest... who knows? We could all end up pillaging his fruit for all I know. It'll be fun, though. :animesmil [/FONT][/COLOR]
