Would you want events for online DS play that you could signup for?

poll description: 
To explain a little better. I am playing around with a module for the site that allows the users to create events, or in this case online game session, that other users can sign up for. My idea was that those who still play DS could create these events to find other players who want to join their hosted game. The events would be displayed somewhere on the site, it's own page or the right column on the frontpage.

I have never played online, so I go with the "don't know" vote. Sounds like it might be good for the ones who do play online though. Smile

I am still confused as to what you are talking about. Are you speaking about a contest where others have to find/figure out where others are in a particular screen shot? Example: let's say I post a screenie of my toon somewhere in the Yesterhaven map, and people have to guess where I am?

No it's just a simple, "I'm gonna play a game of DS at this time with these mods, who wants to join"-thing.

You post a game with necessary details like which gameservice, IP, mods, etc, and others can signup. Then it is up to everyone who have signed up to actually show up.

Oh. Sounds like a good idea. You got a "yes" vote from me. Smile

yo - I'm in..
are we talkin' DS1 and variations?

- if so, state the game and mods and I'll get prepared..

We are talking any DS-game that anyone wants to host. You will be able to leave comments on these game session events, so you can suggest mods or ask that some be removed. I'm not sure how they will be presented though. Will have to play around with it for a bit.

I have decided to do this, provided I can find a good solution.
Maybe it will get some of us playing together again.

I think this is a wonderful idea, Sol. I've often been frustrated trying to find a game on ZoneMatch because of the various mods I use for different characters. It's almost impossible. I voted "yes."

I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to this yet.
School is very hectic right now.

NP :sun: . You get that book-learnin' taken care of. :thumbup:

My glasses broke and my finances are shot to .... right now, so been a bit busy with that as well. ^^

It's all getting sorted though so I'll be able to turn more of my attention to the site soon I hope.
