This sounds lovely and all and I would love to join in on this but really you should have announced this more along the lines of when your were nearing completion and or putting it in action imo. I just seen to many people claim they are going to do one thing then fail to do it after saying they will (essentially im a dirty pessimist)

haha well Mr.Panda i know what you mean, and i like pessimists like you, keeps me, an optimist, challenged! This will start as soon as a limited amount of people is reached (was thinking around 20 or so) and once we've distributed each others information it will start. And since skype is so easy to use it'll be easy to say what's going to happen, or want to have a little game? things like that!

Your name doesn't leave much to the imagination Mr. Panda D:

I don't use skype, but I will participate. Brood War won't die.

omg do you sometime get this feeling that you want to express the genius behind the players when showing replays/vod to friends but you just KNOW that they would be too confused if you try explaining it to them?

Sometimes? What about every freecking time I watch something amazing? Lol I try so hard and I always just make BW look even stupider to them

For everybody who does not use a skype account i highly encourage you to do so! It is easy to install, very trustworthy, can easily stay connected!

Glad that there's such a positive response, hopefully we'll get a little more people and this can really get started! Also i was thinking about the name as sGs for starcraft broodwar generations but you know the name doesn't really matter as long as we stay active! Also i would like to learn the servers that you guys play on, Thanks!

It won't matter if you have every gateway! ^^ http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=195442 Im so up for this if this happens.

I'm playing on a few different servers, but I think we should do Iccup. It's been the center of foreign BW for a while and everyone knows how to get on it and use it. Also, isn't there a TL ventrillo server we're allowed to use for this kind of thing?

Lol, I know what you all mean, at my school I got a few people into PL and SC, most of them don't follow it actively anymore ever since SC2 came out, people left iCCup, they went to do something different. They still watch with me at school but it's like......... It's hard to get newcomers, and alot of them watch this and say SC2 is better and I start this huge rage war which in the end I win because i'm just that much of a BW nerd :D.

You'll find the majority of foreigners ladder on iccup except for some of the super duper gosu's or suicidal people who try fish/brain lol

yeah true iccup is a really good server but i feel like its just being so competitive you know? i want a kind of a laid back community that will get competitive whenever we want to. I want this community to be like a teaching environment that will continue to build off one another, and so there are some students that takes longer to grow stronger and that competitive might make the player lose ambition.

iccup isn't overly competative. people host a few UMS on it. and the op teamliquid channel is pretty busy these days. I was in there yesterday and there was mass Race wars going on. The latency for most people is good and iccup is reliable. also the AH launcher and admins who'll ban hackers and correct discers makes it a good place to play. much better than trying to set something up on west, at least for the english speaking community at this point.

True but the channel was only busy because it was like an event going on for it. If that event wasnt there than most likely barely no one would be on it. And true iccup doesn't have to be competitive but thats just the type of atmosphere i get from it. Although i see why it would be easier to set it up on iccup rather than west or east hmm. I shall ponder about this.

I've been playing a lot lately (only d+ :p) and i'd totally be down. I love playing people that I can talk to after the game.

TL is on teamspeak now (not vent), but I'd much rather have a vent channel we can hang out in, getting people on skype would be so tough xp
Also, i think we should definitely play on iccup. If it's mostly going to be people within the community playing each other, then the competitive feel of iccup shouldn't matter. Lag won't be an issue as well.
