(Thanks to **Larry Mudd** for the idea) Anyone want to do a dopefest for starcraft? I’m thinking maybe some of us could hook up on battle net and play some games. Anybody in? ---

I just started getting back into Starcraft…it is such a good game! I might try and join you too…but I’m 6 hours ahead of NY, so it might not work. How’s Warcraft 3? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? -Tcat ---

**Tom** , I’m all about WC3. My screenname is Thewalrusami. Hit me up for a game sometime. (Right now, I haven’t been playing much, because I got into the Beta test for the expansion, so I’ve been playing that). But I will again, soon. ---

I’m up for it, though not this week; I’ve got way too much going on. ---

I’d play. Definitely. bw or sc? ---

I’d love to but I can’t get SC to work after installing WinXP. ☹ Is Warcraft III worth buying? That is much newer so I am sure that XP can run it. ---

WarCraft 3 is a pretty good singleplayer, typical [battle.net](http://battle.net) multiplayer. ---

**Debaser** , there’s a fix somewhere around here for that. ---

So is someone going to set up a channel on [battle.net](http://battle.net) for this? ---

What’s to set up? **Aslan2** ’s the captain of the get-together, he schedules a time, we meet and play. We could meet in channel SDMB but unless battlenet has changed radically in the last few months nothing would need to be done ahead of time. ---

Count me in for some Broodwar. It’ll have to be on a weekend night though. I cant afford to do it durring the week. All will succome to my mass Mutalysk attack! ---

I think I’m gonna have to uninstall broodwar. My computer is acting funny and in desperate need of more disk space. Sorry.
