Hello my poopsies!
As the dreaded day of doom draws nigh I want to at least try and do something to save some shred of the fun we've all had racing Porsche Unleashed online. Since IP play is going to be the only avenue left to us, and since I have a background in online forum host management, I'd like to invite one and all to help me out by being a part of my barely-sketched-out plan to develop an IP Race schedule.
"How can I help?" You ask... (eagerly, I might add.)
"Well", says I, "You can help by volunteering 2 hrs a week at a set time, to host an ip pit."
ok ok you get the idea...
Here's what I'd like to do, and I'm posting this at nfsc too, so hopefully we'll get a pretty good turnout on this plan.
1. I'm collecting as many e-mail addresses as I can to put on the ip racing mailing list to mail a weekly schedule to.
2. I'll collect all the information of those who wish to set a scheduled time up to race and mail that information out once a week, as well as post that schedule on tnfs and nfsc IP race boards.
3. YOU, (those who volunteer) will choose a time convenient to you, that you can be online for a minimum of 2 hrs, once (or as many times as you like) a week.
It's pretty basic. As a PU Host you'd be expected to come online and open the ip pit, then cruise over to both tnfs and nfsc and post your ip connection# on these message boards to let everyone know you're OPEN for business!
If you can't make it, well you can't make it and we all understand that ppl have lives outside online racing but it would be nice if you know in advance to post that the pit won't be open at x time.
If you have ideas to make this work better, post 'em here, or if you want to be on the mailing list, or if you want to be a HOST, please email me at lupinespirit@icehouse.net
and wouldn't it be just a hoot if this idea takes off, and EA hears about it, and realizes that we were serious about them stuffing MCO up their corporate assets!
