we can probably open up a 4man euro server if theres enough request

 

[ares007]

I'd be willing to help out

my specialty would of course be infantry, particularly combat theory

I would also love to work on some drills (manual blocking, chamber blocking, timing, maneuvering) which could also help beginners in melee

also, I don't currently have access to a mic, but I can at least listen in on the vent and either chat back or use text to speach

lol I'm already getting some ideas on how to capitalize on this

though it would be useful to have someone to demonstrate concepts when actually teaching a class.

and you're not such a bad player yourself locklear, just rusty


oh and btw, I'm pretty much open any time

 

[locklear1174]

haha i look forward to it ares. also im getting names down for people that are participating, you and me might be organizing the server for the event

 

[mckchun]

instructors are here right now for 3hrs, or maybe more later today

 

[locklear1174]

Alright guys so password to learning server is learning, im here for now but when Ares gets here you will learn a lot.

 

[mckchun]

pass is learning

instructors online right now

 

[ares007]

was fun. A bit disorganized, but fun. And some people learned some stuff. Some got to practice manual blocking.

It seems that the "noobs" mainly are coming on to practice such things as manual block. So rather than give a lecture on combat theory, I think it's best if we mainly run through some drills (like manual blocking practice).

Oh, and I also got to practice some chamber blocks with locklear which was good. If we can keep that up, we could become pretty decent at it

 

[African]

I think we would get a better turnout without the server password.

A lot of the new players who need to learn the basics probably don't read the forums.

 

[ScientiaExcelsa]

Out of curiosity, which Hoboknight authorized this, exactly?

 

[mckchun]

Ya, but there are many random killers out there hunting for us, so a pass will keep us safe.
I'll try without pass, but I hope things wont get out of hands.
