Apologies to everyone, but we have had to postpone this event (with a future date still to be agreed). Too many comrades were unable to attend and it isn't fair to our hosts, LDDK, to risk turning up with a very low playercount.
What's the scoop?
LDDK have invited us over to their place for some fun with guns.
What's LDDK?
The illustrious LDD Kyllikki (LDDK) is an OFP/ArmAx group that has been around for over a decade.
What are the people at LDDK like?
Lovely. We had a joint session with LDDK (and MARSOC) in November 2010, which was a massive success. We also had a session with them in March 2011, but that suffered from some issues.
Ah. I remember. Sorry, no thanks, I didn't really enjoy it last time.
Woah there, hold up for a moment. There were certainly some challenges with the last joint session, but we've worked with LDDK to address them.
Oh, so what's changed?
We've agreed to the following server and mission settings:
- Enable unit tags (so you can tell who's standing next to you)
- Permit the use of STHUD (and @CBA, which it requires)
- Select missions that feature group markers
- Select missions that use the spectator script
Cacheola worked okay (in both our last joint sessions), so we'll be playing that. Depending on how many people from Folk show up, we'll either be playing the usual version (which has been fixed: no more SOFLAM for insurgents, and finally a sniper rifle with an NV scope for BLUFOR), or a special version in which all NV equipment has been removed (to give a smaller insurgent force - which will be us - a fighting chance). The other mission we might play is the adversarial version of Swept LE, with LDDK playing the part of the infamous black turbans.
Is MARSOC coming?
They were invited, but have declined (this time). The Third International Fighting Brigade of Takistan in the name of Che Guevara stands alone, comrades. Alone!
When is it?
20:00 CET on Sunday 17 April, 2011.
Does this replace the regular Folk session?
Yes. Everyone from Folk is invited. Please note the earlier start time.
Which OA server will we use?
The LDDK ArmA2: Combined Operations server:
- Address: raunhofer.net
- Port: 2302
- Password: kyllinyrkki
The only permitted addons are: STHUD and CBA.
What kind of missions will we be playing?
Adversarial (TvT) missions! (Didn't we already cover this?)
Are any other groups going to be there?
Nope. Just us and LDDK. And maybe some vodka.
Which TeamSpeak 3 server would we use?
The Folk TeamSpeak 3 server, just like on a regular Sunday night.
What if I can't make it until the usual Folk session start time, at 20:30 CET?
Obviously it's better if you're there at the start, but if you arrive late just join the Folk TS3 server and wait for a new mission to start.
Okay, sounds good. What do you need me to do?
If you know you're coming along, posting in this thread would be great, but it's not obligatory. However, please note the following:
- Please make sure you grab the LDDK game server details from this thread in advance of the sesssion
- Please try to be on the Folk TS3 server 5-10 minutes before the session start, or at least be on time
- Please don't show up late asking for server details over TS3 and expect us to wait for you to connect/slot (we won't)
- Please remember that it's absolutely okay to die cheaply, so long as your death is at least funny
We're expected to survive and collectivise LDDK's farms.
