(LXGC) Linux Gaming Cabal

Were just a small gaming group that is looking for linux gamers of any kind to join us for a few rounds. Your skill level doesn't matter, were just in it for a good time. We usually play sunday afternoons/nights around 3 PM EST (2000 GMT), but we usually have a few people gaming everyday. We host all our own servers for the games. If you wanna play a quick game or just chill out join us in irc at irc.freenode.net #lxgc We have all the info on our site at http://lxgc.gwos.org

You have us all wrong.

Firstly we're not a game, we're an engine. There is no game called 'spring'.

Secondly, there is no 'TA Spring'. There is BA, a game based on TA content that uses the spring engine, just as there is XTA or SA or BOTA, but there is no TA Spring....

Really what you've done is taken about 100+ RTS games, and lumped them under a fictional game title.

e.g. If this is TA Spring, then what does this mean for the game Kernel Panic? Is Kernel Panic TA Spring? What about Starwars Imperial Winter?

Since when has that mattered?

Just on a sidenote I sometimes (well, at least once) use the term 'TA Spring' to mean TA derived games for Spring.

Yes.

(Assuming this isn't spam now)
We host all our own servers for the games.
I don't see the point. At worst you've got to go through the hassle of setting up a server and then discover you don't have enough players, at best you've got the hassle of setting up a server.You could connect to the main server and play a password game if you really can't interact outside the Cabal.

They are a gaming group for linux games. lots of linux games only run under linux. no public servers for lots of these games -> they run their own servers.

It would be nice if they would run their own lobby server and some dedicated spring servers, so we would have a nice backup, instead of the two we have that are often down when we would need them.

The profiles page scares me: http://gwos.org/lxgc/?file=kop4.php Playing FPS with aimbots? I can only hope it's humorous.

By server, do they mean server, or just battleroom? Having an independant backup server would be cool indeed.

From reading those, I think the sayings are meant to be funny. They probably all know each other pretty well.

And for the less bright of us here (I'm looking at you johannes):
