[p]Greetings Pilots![/p][p][/p][p]A lesser used feature of CounterAttack: Uprising is the very large online rooms. By default rooms for up to 8 players can be created, but by using the command "/foursquared" you can set the limit to 16. It's also possible to go higher, with the theoretical max being 99. [/p][p][/p][p]This Saturday, 27th of September, I'll host some 32 or 64 player online games. Lets see how high it can go! The games will be open to cross-platform, so join with any system. I'll have the room open at least 30 mins before and aim to start the games at the following times:[/p]

• [p]11:00 (11am) PST[/p]
• [p]13:00 (1pm) PST[/p]
• [p]18:00 (6pm) PST[/p]
• [p]20:00 (8pm) PST[/p]

[p][/p][p]As an added bonus, I'll hand out some CounterAttack Steam items to the highest scoring pilots. [/p][p][/p][p]See you out there! o7[/p][p]-never.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
