Posted on Thursday November 30, 2023
Game: Sea of Thieves Community Weekend
Time: 8:00 PM Eastern (7:00 PM Central, 6:00 PM Mountain, 5:00 PM Pacific)
Sea of Thieves is a PC and Xbox One action/adventure game that allows cross play between the two where you form a crew of up to 4 and sail around looking for treasure and having other adventures. If we have more than 4, we will split into several crews. We will make a attempts to match on the same server together with multiple ships at the start, so try to be there on time for this purpose. In order to maximize our odds of getting more than one ship on the same server, please download the Fleet Creator and Windscribe VPN client, sign up for a free account with both, and have them installed and ready to use for these nights. Fleet Creator allows us to see if we connected to the same server easier. Our private lobby uses this code: xKeYI6pWPPdwAV18. Windscribe aids in getting us on the same network and is easy to use and gives you 10 GBs of free data each month.
Make sure to check the game on the Microsoft store app prior to community night to see if there is an update that needs to be downloaded/installed by the store app! Also, if you buy the game through the Microsoft store on either the PC or Xbox, you can install and play it on both the PC and Xbox One simultaneously. You can try it for a month for $1. See below.

7D2D Community Night, Wednesday November 29 @ 9:00 PM Eastern
Posted on Monday November 27, 2023
Game: 7 Days 2 Die
Time: 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific)
7 Days to Die is a zombie apocalypse survival game with some crafting/building, similar to The Forest. We have a server running for it that will switch save games between community nights and the times in between to keep the community night save game from progressing further without those who are more likely to play only on those nights while still allowing others to play outside of community nights with full progression for that save game. As long as you play outside of 7 PM Wednesday to 2 AM Thursday, you will not disturb the community night save game. The name of our server is [OSF] Died in the Dell and can be found by searching the in-game server browser for [OSF]. Do not use the external STEAM server browser to join the server as it does not work properly.
You can buy 7 Days to Die for $25 and find more information about it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/251570/7_Days_to_Die/
Although there is in-game voice communication, we will also meet in a Discord Game Lobby and use that instead.

CS2 Play Test Community Night, Sunday November 19 @ 9:00 PM Eastern

Game: Counter-Strike 2 Play Test
Time: 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific)
Even though Counter-Strike 2 continues to have limitations such as the lack of Source Mod support for admin and control and a wider variety of maps to play, we are going to play test it this coming Sunday night. The game is FREE to download (link below) and play through STEAM. Our server is located at 71.115.182.118:27018 ([OSF] Fraggin Friar Tucks). You can add the server to the STEAM server browser favorites using the IP address. The server will have our usual password, foliage.
QuoteCan't connect to a passworded server directly from the server browser and can't connect to a dedicated server in game at all, so there are only 2 ways to connect:
In game, open a console, run the following command:
connect games.osfhome.com:27018; password foliage
Or, from the desktop, open a Run window (Windows key + R), run the following command:
steam://connect/71.115.182.118:27018/foliage

Prepare for Fall WAN Party: Witch It! @ 10:00 PM Eastern Sat Nov 4
Posted on Thursday November 02, 2023
The final game to show up in the schedule of events for our fall WAN party taking place this coming Saturday November 4 will be Witch It! which we will switch to around 10:00 PM Eastern. Witch It! is a goofy prop hide-and-seek game with a Halloween theme that has the option for a private server for 16 players. If you do not own the game yet, you can buy it at the link below for $5.

Prepare for Fall WAN Party: Battlefield V @ 9:00 PM Eastern Sat Nov 4
Posted on Wednesday November 01, 2023
The next game to show up in the schedule of events for our fall WAN party taking place this Saturday November 4 is Battlefield V which we will switch to around 9:00 PM Eastern. We will be using a private server through the game called [OSF] The Ardennes Forest. The password will be foliage. To find the server, go to Play -> Community Games -> Browse Community Games -> Filter (by Name: Ardennes). This should bring up our server in the list. Do not join on others because it will unbalance the teams.
It does have profanity with the game announcer, but you can disable that by turning of the "In-Game Announcer" in the settings. You can also set it to 11 different languages including "Brazilian Portuguese" if that does not work.
Below is a link to buy/download the game for $40, if you do not already own it, but it will inevitably go on sale again in the future for $10 or less. So if you do not have the game yet, you are better off simply signing up for EA Play for $5 for one month which will give you access to this game as well as a lot of other games and then cancelling it at the end of the month.

Prepare for Fall WAN Party: Day of Defeat:Source @ 8:00 PM Eastern Sat Nov 4
Posted on Tuesday October 31, 2023
The next game to show up in our schedule of events for our fall WAN party taking place this Saturday November 4 will be Day of Defeat:Source which we will switch to around 8:00 PM Eastern. You need only have it installed from STEAM as any maps that are not included with the game will be downloaded from the server automatically. However, if you want to make sure that you have all the maps ahead of time, you can download them from here. The server will be hosted at 71.115.182.118:27017 ([OSF] Welcome to the Jungle). If you do not already own the game, you can buy it through STEAM ($10):
http://store.steampowered.com/app/300/Day_of_Defeat_Source/
If you have issues launching this game or any other Source engine game (CSGO, CSS, TF2, PVKII, L4D2), use the instructions here to use command line options such as windowed mode to launch the game and then set your video options to a working mode.

Prepare for Fall WAN Party: Counter-Strike:Source @ 7:00 PM Eastern Sat Nov 4
Posted on Monday October 30, 2023
The next game to show up in our schedule of events for our fall WAN party taking place this Saturday November 4 is Counter-Strike:Source which we will switch to around 7:00 PM Eastern. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is no longer playable thanks to Valve upgrading to Counter-Strike 2 which is not quite ready for us to adopt yet given some limitations such as lack of source mod support and very few maps. If you do not already have Counter-Strike:Source in your STEAM library, it is available here for $10. You need only have it installed from STEAM as any maps that are not included with the game will be downloaded from the server automatically. However, if you want to make sure that you have all of the maps ahead of time, you can download them from here. The server will be hosted at 71.115.182.118:27028 ([OSF] Fraggin Friar Tucks).

Posted on Sunday October 29, 2023
We will be kicking off our fall WAN party at 6:00 PM Eastern next Saturday November 4 with Left 4 Dead 2. We will be using our persistent server at 71.115.182.118:27019 and will be playing survival mode on various maps. If you have not yet played this game with us, our server is modded to allow for up to 32 players at the same time but adjusts the difficulty upward with each player beyond the 4th one and starts in expert mode. See the link below for instructions on how to install custom maps if you do not already have them.

Game: 7 Days 2 Die
Time: 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific)
7 Days to Die is a zombie apocalypse survival game with some crafting/building, similar to The Forest. We have a server running for it that will switch save games between community nights and the times in between to keep the community night save game from progressing further without those who are more likely to play only on those nights while still allowing others to play outside of community nights with full progression for that save game. As long as you play outside of 7 PM Wednesday to 2 AM Thursday, you will not disturb the community night save game. The name of our server is [OSF] Died in the Dell and can be found by searching the in-game server browser for [OSF]. Do not use the external STEAM server browser to join the server as it does not work properly.
You can buy 7 Days to Die for $25 and find more information about it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/251570/7_Days_to_Die/
Although there is in-game voice communication, we will also meet in a Discord Game Lobby and use that instead.

Game: Blazing Sails
Time: 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific)
Blazing Sails is a PvP pirate game for 16-20 players that can be played on a private server in various modes including battle royale, treasure hunt, and eventually conquest. It is currently FREE to add to your Epic Games account but will only be free until next Thursday, so be sure to add it to your account now even if you cannot play this time around. The battle royale mode is not working at the moment but is supposed to be fixed soon. If it is not available by Sunday, we will switch gears and play the new Scream Fortress maps on our TF2 server or play Witch It!
Blazing Sails (FREE)
It does not currently have controller support, so if you want to use a controller and are looking for a free program to map controller buttons to the keyboard and mouse, see AntiMicroX which is completely free.

Blazing Sails, new pirate game for community events, FREE on Epic Games for 1 week
Posted on Thursday October 12, 2023
Blazing Sails is a pirate game that can be played with 16 players on a private server. It includes a battle royale mode as well as a treasure hunt mode and soon to be included conquest mode. It is completely FREE on Epic Games through next Thursday. After that, it will most likely go back to be $15, so make sure you claim it while it is free. We will be playtesting the game on Sunday night, and this game may be used for community nights, WAN parties, and/or LAN parties in the future.
