Welcome all to the Fat Princess CAG Night thread!
It looks like we might finally be facing some clans and end our CAG feud. :-# We need as many CAGs possible to represent our crew (hopefully a full 16). Due to their frequency of play, the following CAGs have earned the honor of knighthood within the Knights of the Round Princess. To become knighted please post in this thread, chat in the irc, join our secret thread, and (most importantly) play on game nights.
Sir BlueLobstah (Doorman for Life)
Sir ChibiJosh (Heigh-Hooooo!!!)
Sir Clockwork-Zombie (The Peacemaker)
Sir Dmunkee (Mr. Versatile)
Sir Evergoo (The Master Planner)
Sir Freakyzeeky (Mr. MVP)
Sir Jrsmaster411 (Mr. Die Hard)
Sir Kandal (Can't Handle Kandal)
Sir Apollo Creed (CAG Noob Extraordinaire)
Sir Oemor (It's "Row-meow" not "Romeo")
Sir Wolfkin (Fear the "Ramdom")
Sir Enufs8d (Mute Kitty)
Sir Icedrake523 (Ice Ice Drakey)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fat Princess CAG Nights are held on Wednesdays and Sundays. ChibiJosh, Kandal, and Evergoo are the hosts. If you would like to join our game night, please post your name in bold using the example below.
CAG Name = PSN ID
evergoo = evergoo
How to Participate on CAG Night:
In the game's main menu, select PLAY WITH OTHERS > PLAY WITH FRIENDS
Join any CAG in the ACTIVE CAGs list OR
Register evergoo to greatly increase your chance of joining
CHAT ROOM
Speaking of IRC, I thought I'd create one since this will help minimize confusion, organize games, and serve as a place to socialize during game nights. Obviously, voice chat is preferred but any means of communication is better than no communication. Joining the IRC is completely voluntary.
On every game night, the IRC will be active ~30 minutes beforehand. Please join the IRC so that the hosts may provide the CAG community with a smoother online experience. We will be searching for the strongest internet connections and doing some test runs before the CAG Night begins. Users will also receive technical support from the IRC community if they need it.
>>> CLICK HERE and enter your CAG name under "Nickname" to join <<< (http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=%23cagfp)

PSN IDs updated up to this point. I've highlighted brighenne's name as a diffferent color since he might consider hosting. He also gets dibs to be on the top of the list. :D
I've decided to add a poll to see what everyone's preferred night is. I've only added four options because those are the most practical days for me. Please vote if you can (more than one day may be chosen) and don't ballot stuff it because we only stuff princesses. :-P

I don't know how the poll is going but I'm pulling for Wednesday. I got Burnout on Sundays. I'd like to host but don't put me up yet. lately everytime I try to host a game I kill my internet connection and have to reset my router. Yeah that's right my PS3 kills my router and needless to say it's very very frustrating

I might close the poll early if a particular day has a tremendous lead over the other days.
When Fat Princess CAG Nights finally begin, I'll host the IRC 15 minutes before the designated time (4:45 pm pst / 7:45 pm est). We can discuss about stage selection and other game details as well as register currently active PSN IDs.

non sarcalulz?
IRC = Internet Relay Chat, it's a fairly old chat system during the early days of the internet. Being a fairly old system, it isn't really that newb-friendly but it also means that it's one of the most robust and widely used chat systems out there. My office use a private/internal IRC server for communication purposes.
I like the IRC system that the OP set up for us, pretty much bare-bones "pick a user name and hit connect" server. No need for manually typing in an IRC node or even use a dedicated IRC program, ala circa early-90's
Wolfkin
08-01-2009, 03:38 PM
well I have mIRC and I've been using it since... well since before 2000 and I'd prefer to use that so there.
I too second the great idea of having a channel so we can organize. Even if I don't know how much use it'll be in actual strategy it sounds invaluable in setup.

Hey, anytime man. I'm glad you were able to join. It's been tough getting into games. I've been getting kind of frustrated with it. I often see a couple other cags playing, but its usually a coin toss on whether I can get into their games or not. I hope they deal with the issues soon so our cag night will go smoothly (looks doubtful).:bomb:

All PSN IDs updated as of this post.
I would like to give a HUGE shoutout to Wolfkin for helping me out with mIRC as well as testing out various online host settings involving private slots only. We spent about an hour to ensure that tonight's event will play as smooth as possible. So if you see Wolfkin on IRC, please give him props.
Last but not least, I've decided to host the IRC 30 minutes before the game night. Just join the IRC so we can get a headcount on how many people to expect. We will also need some hosts with very strong internet connections. I will post some text in color whenever I need to make an important announcement so please do not abuse the color system if you know how.
Can't wait to play tomorrow guys! :bouncy:

I had a blast playing the game. I didn't think the lag was that bad. Anyways, props to those who were Red throughout the entire night. It was hard suffering through consecutively losses but we pulled out victorious...eventually. :lol: Specific shoutouts go to Dmunkee and ChibiJosh for forming a triforce between the 3 of us.
Based on the poll right now, I'm going to host another night this Wednesday (8/5). Make sure to join the IRC so that we can figure out who has the strongest internet connection, what game settings to play, and just plain-old chat. Thanks Soliddragon for hosting again. You're a lifesaver!

08-03-2009, 12:52 AM
I've noticed a few posts about this so I guess I'll answer it here. So why did I choose IRC over PSN Chat? Read below:
Reasons for choosing IRC
Simple to login.
No censorship in words or restrictions on the number of characters typed.
Sending PSN Chat invitations is more burdensome for me than just asking people to join the IRC.
We need to relay information quickly to determine who can host the most players. In my opinion, I think more people have access to desktops/laptops within reach than wireless keyboards/PS3 keypads to be able to type quickly.
You are not required to join the IRC but if you are having trouble connecting, it's easy to get answers quickly because it doesn't interfere with the gaming interface.

Was that in the first round, on the Black Forest map? If so, yeah, that was an awesome game save. I personally quite enjoyed when I was able to sneak into the red base, grab the princess, and escape within the first couple minutes of the Cove/Tide map. Cheap, yet suprisingly effective. It's the Fat Princess version of the Zergling Rush.

I've noticed a few posts about this so I guess I'll answer it here. So why did I choose IRC over PSN Chat? Read below:
Reasons for choosing IRC
Simple to login.
No censorship in words or restrictions on the number of characters typed.
Sending PSN Chat invitations is more burdensome for me than just asking people to join the IRC.
We need to relay information quickly to determine who can host the most players. In my opinion, I think more people have access to desktops/laptops within reach than wireless keyboards/PS3 keypads to be able to type quickly.
You are not required to join the IRC but if you are having trouble connecting, it's easy to get answers quickly because it doesn't interfere with the gaming interface.
IRC is a dumb idea. Why make things more complicated? Hell I didnt even know what it was until yesterday. Not everyone at CAG is a nerd

I don't think IRC is a dumb idea...it's an easy way to get all of us to a central point of communication that we can all stay in while playing. If something happens such as disconnects, everyone will already be in the same spot to get back to playing.
You don't have to be a nerd to use it. You don't have to install a separate program. It's a simple chat room that is very useful that you can join from a browser.
It's also helpful when people try to join after the game has already started. I was able to help someone join the last time because they joined the chat room and I was able to communicate without having to pause my game and use the XMB.

I just want to say that this is like my 4th or 5th time ever using IRC. My first time was with Goozex and I instantly knew how to use it once I joined. If you bother hopping on, you will learn that chatting on IRC is as easy as cake. ;)

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. I think we were able to help ~5 CAGs join our game because of IRC. By the way Dingleberry, I thought you were the best player consistently on the Blue team based on what I saw. Dark Mage posse with Priests on the outpost made it very hard to capture. :lol:

And I agree that the IRC chat is a fantastic idea... works well enough for the Brawl Nights, and it is cool to be able to chat with CAGs before/after a game.

But seriously, I'd like to see someone organize 15+ human players via PSN's Chat function and come out saying it's easier and more effective to do than IRC. I've done numerous CAG Buzz Nights where there were 4-6 CAGs and organizing Buzz via PSN Chat, sending and hoping they accept invites, and wireless keyboard was much hard than Fat Princess and the laissez-faire IRC.

Occasionally, I would type out a penis analog just to mix things up. And if you're really skilled, you'd install a macro that would spam something nice about my love-life with a person's mother, and how much I pay for her services.

I think it's you that completely missed the point....The point of the chat room is to ORGANIZE the game. It is NOT to talk about the game while in the game. If we get disconnected, we go in the chat to see what's up and to reorganize to get the game going again.
And just so you know...out of the 6 people that were on the team I was playing on, I'm pretty sure 5 of us had mics.

IRC is a dumb idea. Why make things more complicated? Hell I didnt even know what it was until yesterday. Not everyone at CAG is a nerdfirst off.. yes you are. That's like saying not everyone in the NFL is a jock. 2nd you don't have to join. If clicking the link is too much effort/trouble just don't bother you can still play and we'll still be friends it's not MORE complicated.
ooorrr people could just get mics.mics? what a crazy idea! how did it completely skip our minds that we could just ask people to get mics. These must be brand new to the system not like everyone's had a chance to get mics for months and they haven't gotten them yet because they've all been waiting for Fat Princess. It's what $2 for a mic (http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B001BR95PW)we can all spend $2 on mics. Yeah much better idea.
The big thing about IRC i don't get the controversy. If you have a mic obviously we're all going to be talking in game. If you don't want to join the IRC room don't bother. it's not that big a deal. it's not a requirement. We'll still know who you are.

The fact that you can scroll a list of games like say Burnout really hurts the online aspect. I have no idea if it's the same game I keep failing to connect to or different ones and after 5 failures in a row I turn on the MM9. If I'm gonna be punished by watching the same screens over and over again i might as well be learning.

This is what I get when I try to be funny/sarcastic when I drunk-post in the middle of the night.
Anyways, I think we're all missing one of the finer points of the thread by derailing and turning the entire thing as Mic vs. IRC. The IRC is there for pregame "who the hell is going to host this crap" and "WTF I got disconnected for no apparent reason".
As I said before, this game is currently held together by scotch tape and elmer's glue, and it doesnt help the fact that the PSN network is still lacking in the "Party system", unlike XBL (and no, that statement is not meant to entice another tangeant/flame war, it's just to reiterate my observation).

Wednesdays are a no go for me, but Im up for pretty much anyother night
For the purpose of accommodating as many CAGs as possible, would pushing the time to 6, 7, or 8 pm pst do any good? I didn't want to make it too late because some east coasters might have 8-5 jobs the next day. West coasters on the otherhand, will probably have early or late dinners.
I've been thinking about possibly splitting FP into 2 CAG nights to accommodate people's schedules but there's one major concern I have: dividing our audience. For example, let's say Wednesday can garner 20 CAGs but leaves behind 5 CAGs. If I also host Sunday, I fear Wednesday might lose some of its steam since some of the 20 CAGs may join the other night instead.
P.S. Soliddragon, thanks for hosting the entire night this past Sunday...even though we were down a man at times. ;)

8pst would be way too late for me. It'd be 11est, and I'd only be able to play for half and hour to an hour unless we move it to Friday or Saturday. I think I could deal with 6 or 7pst though.

GGs everyone. Some of these levels are very imbalanced (e.g. beach with super tunnel) but I enjoyed playing Black Forest (1st level) the most. After 2 Fat Princess Nights the score is Blue 1, Red 1. Let's see what happens next week.
Last but not least, shall we make games with only 20 private slots and let other humans join in? We have ~60 CAG PSN IDs but for the past 2 nights we usually have at most 20 CAGs. Plus, the bots in this game aren't too smart, especially with lava. Any thoughts? :-k

The catapult was also pretty buggy at times. And on the last match for some reason both sides could hear each other.

Not sure what the max is but I am aware that my PSN Friends List is getting fuller. I also don't want to create a new PSN ID because I've already created many accounts for Gamesharing. I'll accept as many PSN IDs as possible and if I need room, I'll delete some names based on PSN activity. If I do delete some Fat Princess IDs, I'll mention it here and request these CAGs to register with the other host, 8bitArtist. Obviously, you can avoid being deleted if you're active in Fat Princess or play Buzz, Rock Band 2, or Fight Night Round 4 with me. ;)

I will only play for like an hour since I'm also trying to revitalize Buzz from its 2 month torpor (hosting @ 6 pm pst / 9 pm est). Sinistar and Enufs8d: I hope you guys switch over otherwise it's just 1-on-1 with mwestep. :-( As for hosting Fat Princess, I will be in the IRC until 7 pm pst to answer any CAG questions.
FNR4?huh? its like one of those which doesn't fit with the others questions.
It doesn't hurt to try right? ;) FNR2 singlehandedly got me into the sport and I'm giddy all over again thanks to this game. For what it's worth, StrandedBrit and I had a blast playing it the other night.

I played last night. It was definitely better. Not perfect yet, but a lot better. I was able to play a full match with 25+ and it went along fine. Host left and then the game couldn't find a new host thought 1 minute into the second game

I couldn't connect to nfs3freak/"destructo" (no way I'm typing out j0r leet-speakz) when my power was still up. Connecting to sailorme had the red snail. From what I read on IRC while I had power, people were getting red snails with destructo.
Maybe the connection problems haven't been FULLY fixed with the latest patch? Or maybe my Great White Northern tubes can't connect to Arizona XD

So it looks like I am still searching for a Wednesday host. Anyone care to take on that role? Below are the responsibilities. I think they're quite basic. People who have previously joined the IRC should have an idea of what the host's responsibilities are.
Have a laptop/computer in the same room as your PS3 in order to join the IRC
Stay active in the IRC from 4:30 pm pst to 7:00 pm pst (doesn't necessarily require the host to play the game for 2 hours; just answer questions and provide technical support)
Find two game hosts (need backup in case of disconnections) who have strong internet connections (20+ Players)
Accept PSN Friend Requests (I've already taken most of the load)
Wolfkin
08-11-2009, 03:46 AM
I put it in my phone so I won't forget so provided I can call tech support and get my internet back on in 24 hours count me in. Heck I have a spare TV I MIGHT just for kicks consider taking my TV and PS3 on campus and using the Wifi network there. I mean what else if not this is MAC address spoofing for.

Good games everyone. In the last game, the Blue Princess disappeared into fat air.
To clear up a question: do you have to press R2 to chat or is it automatic? If so, that means I've been talking to no one for all these past CAG Nights?! :lol:
oemor
08-12-2009, 11:27 PM
yes you have to hold R2 to talk it will have your PSN name in a chat bubble on screen when you talk. Just found out a few days ago. Last fat princess night I was talking to no one I guess cause i wasn't holding the button down. :lol:

Great games guys, though at times it was a bit laggy. Maybe it was my end.
Also I have to say I had more fun and involvement when I went on the Red team where more mics were heard.
I'll try to make it to the next CAG night, see ya'll around.
btw, is there a way to remove bots altogether? I think it'd be more strategic and less chaotic with just human players, though it seems like we are averaging about 8-10 per game. The maps aren't that huge that we'd get lost in it.

We could remove bots by making less private slots, but that would prevent some CAGs from entering into our game since other online users would occupy them instead. Maybe shrink the game down to 12 or 14 this Sunday? :-k

I am going to an Oakland A's game this Sunday so I won't be able to host. I'm sure you all can still create a CAG Night without me. ;) I would suggest using the IRC to find a host with a good connection (set the game to 12-14 players?) as well as help others resolve technical difficulties. Remember folks, hold R2 to talk!
I'm curious how the night goes so I'll be inquiring later tomorrow night.

Well, with the way it's set up, it's kind of heard to do play against a team of other people.
8bitArtist
08-17-2009, 10:29 AM
if we all were on the same team, it would most likely just be playing against all bots which isnt that fun. we would have to challenge another boards FP players. maybe like ps3trophies.org or something (if that board even has an FP night).
dmunkee
08-17-2009, 01:51 PM

IceSharktank
08-17-2009, 03:07 PM
Well, we could just have someone jump in a public game, preferebaly one that is relatively full in one side) and then start joining the game. When a team wins, we could just start getting together by switching to the losing team. From my experience the winning team always stays full while the losing team barely has anyone.

everyone could just switch to a certain team after the first match is over too.

Yeah, it's possible to start a game with unfilled reserved spots. And, yes, if it is full, you're pretty much out of luck. I don't think it's every really been full though. And people will drop out before the end so you can always retry after about an hour or come into the IRC and we may be able to stop after the current game to add more players or something.
