For all those hoping to achieve x-map but worried about being annihilated by experts when trying new maps.

This will be a group where you can PM other members and try out new maps (no spoils, sunny is often a good way) knowing the other players aren't experts.

It may be an idea to install the Map Rank add-on (if you have firefox+greasemonkey) - then you can check out which maps you have/haven't played on and the same for your opponents (to check they aren't experts).

This will help get you started on new maps without the punishment!

Post a reply to join this group.

I'm going to leave this thread here for now as it's not really a clan but a usergroup. One of my goals is to clearly differentiate that.

I'm up for this as well, its always a concern when trying new maps that I'm going to get pummelled by an expert at it.

I'm in - some maps are just crazy. Using BOB helps but nothing beats the experience of playing few times.

I'm interested in joining but it seems a bit dis-organised.

I'm not sure how I'd go about organising a game on a map of my choice? Could we have a list of players I could PM with a game number and password....though that could lead to a lot of spam.

Anyway, I want to play the new Wales map, If anyone wants to join

it's Game 4447755 Password cymru

It's 5 players, flat, sunny, chained, standard

I feel if you want to learn a new map it needs to be sunny so you can see what's going on.
