Hey all!
We've come a long way since this community began, and the other staff & I felt that now would be a great time to start holding community events!
What does this mean? Well, on January 10th, at 4PM EST* (*time is subject to change), we will be holding this forum's first squad meet-up, where members here will join up in-game to complete tasks, missions, and socialize in general!
So, how do you sign up? Simple! All you have to do is let us know by making a post here (specifying your avatar name), and then send I and the other staff (Wolfe & Lozjam) friend requests if we're not already on your list. Then, when the time rolls around for our meetup, all you have to do is join the squad I'm in (or one of the other staff, if I'm not available to play) when you start up the game!
Here's to hoping this goes well, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask! (And special thanks to Lastdancer for the squad name & inspiration!)
1. SirMouse (Blaire) 2. DarknessLink7 (Adam) 3. Wolfe 4. Primulus (Primula) 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32.

I think I can join, but not 100% sure. Sounds very fun though! Avatar name is Adam.

Due to likely being busy on the 2nd, I've changed the meetup time to the 3rd at 4PM EST. If the 2nd works better for the majority, however, I'll switch it back to that.

Is there a particular time on the 2nd that'd work better for anyone who hasn't yet joined? Perhaps later, perhaps earlier? I want as many as possible to be able to play. And on that note, would January 1st work better for more of you? Just trying to gauge our options here. Maybe I'll even make the event more than one day, if I get enough varying opinions.

I can do either the 1st or the 2nd. So whatever other people say can decide when it'll be.

I should be able to make either day work, though on January 1st it would be better a little earlier in the afternoon.

Alright, so either early Friday afternoon or Saturday afternoon.
That is, of course, assuming (and hoping) at least a few more people join. Otherwise we might have to reschedule.

Since very few have shown themselves to be available to play this weekend, I've decided to reschedule the event for Sunday the 10th at 4PM EST (time is subject to change depending on the availability of the majority).
Please let me know if you can make it, as I'd really like to have at least one meetup with this community!

Tell your friends, and poke Xenoboards members on GameFAQs or Miiverse!

I'm in! In game name is Adam. Here's hoping we can gather up a few more people. Couldn't we put up a large banner on the front page so people notice? Or send everyone a PM or something? Also, how powerful do you need to be to participate in this? I'm not exactly a good player (though I like to think I'm not terrible either), so I hope I won't drag the rest down. :<

As for skill level, it won't really matter much; so long as you're there, I'm sure we'll all have fun regardless!

I should have no trouble making it for the 10th. ...how powerful do you need to be to participate in this? I'm not exactly a good player (though I like to think I'm not terrible either), so I hope I won't drag the rest down. :< To start out, the idea is to gather in one squad and see how well the squad chat works for communication in an organized group, to break the ice and do some squad tasks together. I see "global" messages all the time, but not a lot of chatter in my own squad (you can tell because it gives you the option to block players in your squad, but not the global messages). Once we unlock some squad missions, we may break off to do that, with someone providing invites to Xenoboards members. I still haven't tried any missions, but they're scaled to certain levels, so you should be fine. If you're worried, stick close to the group and focus on keeping soul voice going.

Oh hey, this is tomorrow? I've been meaning to sign up, but put it off. I've had every intention of being here for this though.
I'll join. Avatar name is Primula, but I think almost everyone here already knew that. (I still need to add some of your NNIDs, though...)

Sorry I can't make it tomorrow, but I hope you have a blast!
I worry that if I don't bring my WiiU to college, then by time I'm on my next break most of you will have moved on to other games...
