Come join us this week on your respective platforms!

XBL

New for This Week

Seanhue99's team won last week's Draft challenge. Props to him!

Seanhue has been asked to help run the weekly community games since Huginn/Wendingo has been insanely busy with Gradschool/work blowing up. Treat him with the same respect (You know.. treat him with more respect, he is the reigning king x2 now)

So we're done with the XBL draft challenge.. here's what we're doing tonight:

Tonight is a very special 'drinky' night.

The rules are simple.

You take a shot/drink/hit of your substance of choice if the other team does any of the following on you

• Get scored on - 1 hit

• Suffer a non-fighting penality - 1 hit Game Misconduct - 1 hits (stupid!)

Fighting:

• Winner of the fight - 0 hits

• Loser of the fight - 2 hits

• For those of you under 21 or just don't want to drink - you can still join in. But the alternative is you owe me pushups and situps. 10 for each 'hit' you do. You lose 10-0, you owe me 100 pushups.

I will be late for this tonight. Meeting with the boss til about 7.

If I don't make it... Seanahue99 you're getting a trial by fire tonight

Regular OTP Info:

This is a weekly EA_SHL / OTP game done every Wednesday at 8:30 EST. The name of the game is EA's EASHL/OTP pick up games with your own custom made player. These games do count towards your overall performance tracker record so it is a great way to pad your stats in a comfortable, exploit free, and noob friendly environment. We take all skill levels and this is a great way to learn the game. No experience required but we do ask that you pre-make your character ahead of time as we don't wait for you. Games start at 8:35 EST. If you don't make it by that time, we are starting without you and you'll have to wait till the first game is over. Usually 20 minutes or so

• The room disappears when we make a game so don't look for it at 8:40 if you are late. If you can, feel free to make the room yourself and wait there for us! Additionally, shoot a message to WendingoPSU and we'll cue you up when we are making the next round of games.

• We typically do a party chat. XBL has an 8 person limit for party chat which we often hit. If you can't get into the party don't fret, everyone goes to game chat during the game(s) so it isn't a big deal. I type in game chat and will be looking to get a speaking server for next week 2/15.

• We typically get 4-5 games in and usually run till about 10-10:30 at night. You can find the room we play in by going to Xbox Live -> Community -> Lobby: Then cycling downwards till you see a room called 'Reddit'

• Remember... If it is your first night, you have to fight.

• Room name: Reddit Password: narwhal (note the lack of e, and lowercase n)

PSN

Woooo!

Here is how you join us this week!

• Look for the reddit room in the Game Modes lobby (from the NHL12 main menu: Online > Community > Lobby > Game Modes). As always, the password will be bacon
  
• Don't forget to complete the OTP night experience by joining us on Teamspeak 3, as well. The server is hosted on the default port at mikeal.com. If you don't already have the TS3 client, you can download the normal client for free HERE
  
• There are also mobile TS3 clients available for Android or iPhone. I don't personally own either, so this may be inaccurate, but my understanding is that the Android beta client is currently free but the iPhone client costs $5.
• This is also a great way to join one of the Reddit teams or meet others who want to join/form teams! Make sure to post here if you are new and see what happens!
  

Basic Info

• Get here at 8:25 EST to ensure you get in on the first game(s) and to help make it easier to plan games. First game(s) starts at 8:30 EST so be there!
  
• Make sure you are on Teamspeak (details above). We try to split up games so everyone can play, but those with out team speak don't know this! Sometimes people have their PS3 mics hooked up too, but don't count on it! Same happens when we pick captains...
  
• Room makers! Make sure we have decided on how many people are ready to play, and how many are in each game if there are more than one, and make the room max out at that number! Sometimes people get impatient (understood) and make a 12 man game, and then 4 people sit in the lobby, when we could have played 2 4v4 games...*
  
• Once a game is started, jump down to one of the OTP rooms on teamspeak so that all the new people coming in are in the lobby and it is easy for them to see and talk to other people waiting. If we play in the lobby, I have a feeling new people sign on, can't get a word in or are timid, and leave.
  
• Be patient! If you miss a game, there will be another in 20 minutes or less if there are 2 staggered games going on so come back!

While OTP night is not highly competitive and more about having fun, players are still expected to play Sim style hockey. Play your position and pass the puck. Above all, be respectful.

See you on!
