Seeing as how we have a good handful of people that seem to play DotA regularly, i think most would agree that having this thread would be helpful. If TL.netters would wanna get a game going together, this would be the place to let them know.
Playing on Battle.net wouldn't be an option due to the crazy pings some people may have, so these three options are recommended and should be familiar to most:
1.) Hamachi Download
2.) GG Client Download
3.) List Checker
This one is a little bit more complicated. Using List Checker will allow you to host games on LAN and have the games show up on battle.net, thus allowing almost "delay-less" play on battle.net. Instructions on how to set up and use can be found Here
Now, having a list of DotA players on TL.net would come pretty handy IMO so let me know if you want to be added to the list, and also include the time (in TL.net time - US Pacific) that you're usually available. So I guess I'll start with myself. (TL.net ID please, not your bnet aka)

Hamachi #s
So to start off, I think we only need one channel for now, we'll make more as we see needed
Network Name: tldota1
Network Password: 1
Rules: If you are in the hamachi channel, you are THERE and not afk, ready to game. If you afk there, no more than a few minutes, check back for more players. When you quit hamachi, leave the channel please so other people can fill your place. For your id, please use your teamliquid ID so others will know who you are. For your friends who aren't TL.netters, they can use whatever they want as long as they don't change it to avoid any confusion

I'm not sure how many people are on at a given time, but it seems this would probably be the most convenient way to meet up. And thus, using listchecker is the easiest way to set up a nice lag-less game. If anyone has any problems using listchecker or simply can't figure out how to start using it, let me know i'll make a quick guide; the one given up there doesn't cover all the configurations you need to make. It only takes a few minutes and you won't have lag to blame for any longer ;]
-----------
I'll update this list regularly when people add their information, don't PM, just reply in this thread. If anyone has any suggestions on how we could get together easier for games, or anything else useful, let me know and i'll add it up here.
Lets play some DotA!!!

If we play via hamachi or GGClient we dont need original keys right :D?

My friends (bnet names)
jamba

I'm available 12:00-early morning, I have two rl friends that play dota. Names are htron and whitepowa (lol), and my bnet name is Adorior, if we play via listchecker, hamachi is fine too obv.
|
I suggest Hamachi, since most people are familiar with it anyway
|
I've never played a game of DotA in my life, nor have I even seen one played. That said, I have WC3 and TFT, and will happily give it a go though (if you'll forgive my n00bishness).
|
You should probably have some practice games or your team is going to be VERY frustrated if yo uplay
|
Heh, yeah. Ah, I'll probably end up not bothering anyway.
|
I played my first dota game today, itsok sc0rched.
um i suggest Hamachi as well, i know it and probably more people have it than GG-Client
bnet east(b.c my buddy from SC is there) id is beta-
|
zOMG my id used to be beta for starcraft haha.. anyways
yeah i agree, hamachi would probably be the most convenient. we could set up a few hamachi channels for dota play, with some rules as well. if you're not playing you have to leave the channel, you can't afk there. That way, anyone that's on that channel will be ready to play games and we won't have to waste time figuring if they're there to game or even there at all
|
no wonder i couldnt take it
:/
|
yo~
coLor @ lordaeron

|
I'm in.
Equinox_kr@Azeroth
Usually on about 6-9PM TL time.
Shouldn't we also get Vent servers up if possible? Or can't we can use the TL.net Teamspeak line or something?
|
I want to play, but i have almost zero experince :D.
Around 6:00pm-9:00pm on fri or weekends (sometimes weekdays, too, but not too often)
God i wish i still had my headset T_T.

Available ~5:00 - 12:00 Pacific time.
I have the GG client, and am downloading hamachi.
|
hrm well i've never used any of those programs, so what will be the most commonly used? i play on uswest id StarlitSky/GameOverMicro(i switch between the two). I am on/off most of the day when i'm home, but im generally on from 5pm till 2-3am pacific time. also, i have a rather unstable connection(wireless) so i randomly disconnect sometimes, depending how my net is being...somedays i dont, sometimes i do. so if that is a problem ill just stick to bnet.

I got at least 5 people on east that are on right now.
Channel Clan JLIG.
