Wait wait wait. Can you actually play on battlenet against other people who have bought full version? Hell, even if you can only play against people on your friend list that is freakin bad ass. brb reading FAQ..

Q. Can I play a match with other players who have the full game? Can I create a match with a friend?
A. Yes. StarCraft II players with a full game license can join a custom game on the Starter Edition maps to play with Starter Edition players. You may play matches with friends by simply creating a custom game on a trial map and using the game invite functionality to invite friends to the game.

Q. Can a player with a full game create a game on a Starter Edition map?
A. Yes. If a player with a full license wants to create a custom game that can be joined by a Starter Edition player, he or she should select one of the maps marked by the special symbol.

Awesome, can totally play SC2 with all my poor fiends now

I think I might give this a try. Even though generally my skill with Starcraft and the like is through the floor terrible.

I'll play with you guys if anyone wants to. I might be able to beat new people! (I'm Bronze league).

If you really like the game and want to improve, I recommend going through this guy's archive.

So that's why the game suddenly started throwing "you have played all you can in the free version BUY THE REAL GAME" messages at me despite both me having the real game and there not being a trial version...

Still, cool. Got a few friends without the game, they could benefit from this.

Anyone here still playing? I sometimes play with goons and it just ends up being a cripplefight (Ive been playing a LOT of Gold league players and the mmr absolutely refuses to let me play Platinum players)

If you guys want I can start a tournament. Anyone down for that? Good or bad it's fun watching people play

I might give this a shot if I'm taking a break from Xbox LIVE, if I know it should run right. The processor should be fine (AMD Phenom II Quad-Core at 2.2 Ghz), but the display driver (AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4250) is a concern, due to it being a mobility integrated driver. I guess if I can run WoW Starter Edition (DX9) at low to medium details, I should be able to do the same in Starcraft II.

That matchmaking algorithm sure can do some funky things. I played one 2v2 placement match...lost horribly..and got placed in Platinum League :0
I assume that's..you know..wrong..Should I not have to "work" my way up to Platinum?

Anyways, I'm up for any kind of organized play, as long as it takes place later in the evening Since I pretty much live at school now and only go home to bath and sleep. Sometimes either/or. :p

I would absolutely play in a Jul tournament. I haven't played much in the past several months, just because ladder feels so impersonal and cold to me. I guess I just want to play with the same people repeatedly.

We could also just make a 3v3 or 4v4 team and see how many bad kids there are to crush online. I guess it really depends on how many of us are interested.

Also get Aerakin in on this, lol. He and I had some silly good times a few months back. I'm sure aerakin.miasmir would be willing to 2v2 tyty.bmp a few times as well =P

I love watching people play and giving and receiving advice. I really want something like this to happen.

Yeah, probably. I never laddered 4v4 seriously at all so I dunno what the pro strats are, or what race combinations are strong, because screw it, I'm nuke rushing. Or similar.

So I guess I'm saying I hope you guys scouted? =X

How do you guys feel about Saturday on a Starcraft game night?

Free players and paid players all welcome. Ultimate cripple fight. It's fun if we all have like 8 people watching two people play.

I'll of course, be bringing my terran.

Sure, I'll be on for Saturday night.

Turns out I never added most of you (whoops hehe) so, just in case, my sc2 name is konekotyriin. So I guess just add me, and start bothering me when you're ready for festivities?

Or should we meet up online in some other way, at some specific time?

If I'm free, I'm in. I'm sure I'll provide hilarity, if not skill.

Ah, right, character code. I couldn't find it in the interface for a while (it's in the Add Friends window, which I only open if I have to add friends...) so I assumed they removed it sometime in the last several months.

So I am konekotyriin.711 to be perfectly clear =)

And on skype I am koneko.tyriin which might look a tiny bit familiar. Also I'm pretty sure I skyped with bmp before at some point. Don't remember how that went down.

I'll set the time and date for This Saturday at 6PM EST.

I'll post skype info and chat channel info on Friday. if you don't have the Free edition and you want in. I highly recommend getting it so you can also observe fights happening.

Your homework for this week is to do that and get Skype. if you don't have skype then you will be missing out on some hilarious reactions! Those of you who actually own the game maybe we can do some other stuff like Bejewled or something. That's always fun.
