IRC is a great way. If I see am impromtu game on the US or Euro Dev server, I'll post it in #tremulous and/or #mercenariesguild on IRC to try to get players.
Some of you refuse to use IRC (its ok
) so, add this thread to your watchlist and if someone sees a game going on, post it here and you'll get an email.
In the upper right hand side of the Topic select Topic tools > Notify and click ok. Then you will get emails if there is a post here.
Another way to find if there are games going on is to use a game browser. I use xqf, so I don't know instructions for others.
But, in xqf go to Preferences > games > tremulous > options and change the Master Server Protocol from 69 to 70.
Then in the main screen right click Tremulous and select Add Master. Name it what you please and give it the master address of
master.tremulous.net:30700
Hit refresh and you will see the protocol 70 servers, including the beta testing servers. You can see if people are on that way too.
The downside is that you will need to go to Preferences > games > tremulous > options and change the Master Server Protocol from 70 to 69 to see the 1.1 release servers, but its easy enough.
If I or anyone sees an impromptu game going on, or you are looking for players for a dev server, post here as another way to get the word out
