Subject: How to find human opponents online
Heya all!

I've just discovered MAXR (I never knew the game MAX), and I tried to play a map. The game looks interesting, but I obviously can't play all by myself. Where can I find people willing to play? Yes, I am a newbie, but I hope someone might be interested in beating me up a couple of times, just to get the proper taste of the game. I know you guys play the game, but this site doesn't look like it has a place where to discuss about a starting a game between two individuals.

Cheers!

It's [url=docs.php?id=11]here[/url] Smiling Welcome on the bbs. Make sure to read the manual or maxr can be really frustrating for beginners Wink

When ready simply join the chat room. Make a call for a game and idle until somebody picks up your call Happy We don't have a server lobby yet, sorry.

Subject: Re: How to find human opponents online - with Google Calendar
Hi there,

you'll usually find more people at the weekends, but you can call out for a spontanic game or just finde some people today, that will play during the next days. I have opened a GoogleCalendar for MAX-Players, so anyone who wants to play, can set a date and some information about Maps, Players allready joined and such stuff.

I can introduce you to that Calendar if you wish. The more people use it, the more effective it becomes.

To make an Account, just go to http://www.google.com and sign up at the top right. It only takes 10seconds, to enter an eMailadress and a Nickname. Then whait for the request-eMail and you're ready to sign up.

I just need to know your Google Calendar Nick or Mailadress to add you to that MAXR-Calendar. By the way, I'll declare the Calendar as public, so anyone can see. It can be integrated to the website, if Beko agrees. Smiling

Have a nice time among us.

You're welcome!
Sandman
