WE ARE NOT JOKING ABOUT THIS

We've already seen two hashtags join and say they're casuals. This is not a casual game. You are going to want to be at the very least registered for the cheevos.

Congratulations to FoxTerrier for winning that game after a very near call with 10-hour-time-wasting failure.

Condolences to Osroct for being so close and yet so far for a third 10k game. Please don't drink yourself to death.

A massive "gently caress you" to Google and Frostbolt Games because GOD DAMMIT EIGHT HOURS AND I HAD A SHOT AT WINNING AND AAAAAAAAAAAAA-- er.

And to you, Jake: shrivel and die, you pusillanimous wimp! (it is an alpha centauri reference)

Hyumon is a terrible host. 30s timer, early reenforcements on turn 2 instead of 1, and he lets dead people win the game.

That has no effect on hyumon being a bad host :colbert:

And it was twice.

(I had my teleporter synced to 6 spaces away from the finish line and was going to win the game that turn if you hadn't won while dead :argh:

Also a general PSA: Read the loving OP if you want to make a game. It says some things need to be turned on for good reason. Don't be like Ezzer.

Christ, I'm sorry alright. I've played my share of games and thought I could just set it up by ear. But you guys could try and bitch a little less. You act like setting reinforcement back a turn later was tantamount to making GBS threads on your grandmother's grave.

For what it's worth, the new OP does not have the ideal create-a-game information as readily apparent as the previous OP.

BGO folks can be a little high strung, don't worry about it.

For anyone reading this, the ideal options are:

Turn timer: 20 seconds
Starting rupees: 25
Reinforcements: 1st turn
Wildcard: every 10 turns
Survival: On
Expert Mode: On

I like to have 3 random classes to choose from, others like having them all available. Whatever floats your boat.

Edit: I'll do an effort post about Team Mode later on. It's fun!

Ignore goons. There's absolutely nothing they love more than bitching about minor deviations to their preferred BGO layout.

While we do honestly have a preferred layout, the actual bitching isn't serious though. (Well. 99% of the time). You really can't screw up that badly, and if you do it just takes a minute to re-start. Bitch back at them next time and all will be well.
