Hello!



For a while now I have noticed that this zone is always offline. Is this correct?

Hi. I was just in bed resting and for a reason I can't remember I started thinking about Subspace/Continuum and how much I used to play (specifically in ASWZ). This was a long time ago, probably like 2000-2002. So anyway I searched on Google and found this place to post. So here I am.



My ID back then was Artanis16 (dunno if anyone will remember). My older brother's ID was Auroa (people are more likely to remember him). I was never in any of the big squads but I was in a couple of smaller squads that did compete in the squad league. But those squads died quickly.



I remember ASWZ being a sub-arena for the bigger Warzone zone and then it eventually became it's own zone. I remember the base in one of the maps was called "combs" and consisted of nine honeycomb shapes put together. I remember attaching. Safe zones. Thor's Hammer, that fireworks burst thing, Repel, Cloaking, Radar, Portals (all I can think of right now). Using macros to send team messages that I'm in their base and everyone should attach to me to get all the flags or that our base needs defending. Warbird (the most basic one), javelin (high health, fast speed, can't turn well), spider (could cloak and had level 3 guns), leviathan (slow, but could shoot level 3 bombs), terrior (had the twin guns), weasel (the emp bombs), lancaster (bouncing bombs), shark (could also cloak I think). And I still know very well the song that plays when a team has all the flags and are winning.



When I played I was around 13-14 years old so yes I'm now in the middle of college. Auroa has been out of college for several years now.



The reason I stopped playing (I think) was because I started playing Starcraft again and eventually Warcraft III. I'm not sure if ASWZ died also, but I think it did. I don't plan on ever playing again (not enough time and I'm playing other games now ^^ ). But yeah. If there are any old-timers here I'd like to hear what you have to say and see if you're still alive.

...farted and a little shit came out

Since we need at least 10 people to effectively play a real ASWZ flag game, we need something to play while we have fewer than that many players. So what if we just drilled attackers v. defenders?



The rules I've tentatively come up with go like this

• Map consists of one ASWZ-style base.
• Base contains one carryable flag, placed in the flag room (not turf flag).
• Attackers spawn in the center, near the greens.
• Defenders spawn in the flag room.
• To win, Attackers must pick flag and drop it (hold for 60 seconds).
• To win, Defenders must prevent Attackers from winning for 15 minutes.
• After game is over, teams are switched and game starts again.
• Defenders are given 60 seconds to set up before Attackers begin.
• Map lasts for 60 minutes, then a vote occurs and map changes.
  
  

• What if the map was two bases, when the attackers got through one, they spawned at the end of that base / beginning of base 2. This allows the defenders time to regroup.
• Freqs are balanced so that if they are not even, only defenders ever have fewer players. To make up for this, defenders get a robot terrier ship to help defend (cannot place too near to the flag).
  
  

Today we reached 5v5 in our event! Thanks to all those who showed up to play!



We still need more people. To keep you better informed of when people are playing, ASWZ now has a twitter feed: [url="http://twitter.com/aswz"]http://twitter.com/aswz[/url] . The feed will be updated automatically when ASWZ has at least 6 people in pub. With this, we can have impromptu events at any time! I'm open to suggestions as to what else we could do with the twitter from inside the zone (allow spamming by people who want to organize a game, for example).

If anyone has an idea for an avatar for ASWZ, I'm open to just about anything.



Remember: Next Sunday, March 16 at 9:00pm Eastern

We had our first event today and it went far better than expected!



Our game got as large as 5v5 over a total of 2 and a half hours. Almost 20 different players showed up during the event, doubling my estimate!



This is also the first time the voting system was used in a real setting, and I've got some ideas to make it even better.



So stay tuned and stop on by next Sunday at 9pm Eastern!

We're going to start holding ASWZ Events in SSXA A Small WarZone starting this Sunday March 1 at 9pm Eastern.



Let everyone know!

I found a few maps...

Just tested out the zone and it brought back memories! After messing around with Extreme games, I was stocked to have ASWZ back.



Anyway, I don't remember ever that you could only hold one flag at a time. Then again, it's been at least five years since I last played.



Did I forget something? Or is this a new setting?
