Going to get Mumble going tonight
I sent in a join request to NeoGAF NA WEST yesterday but no response? I see others have been added.
EA account = superNoid
Also, I'm looking to add some friends to play with, I'm a long time BF player dating back to 1942, BF2 etc.. Please add me if you are interested. I can usually only get on later at night PST, but I do nightly.

Applied to join the Europe platoon. Soldier name is Teowind
Also, feel free to add me on Origin under the same name.

Everyone should change their name to coincide with their GAF usernames.Smokey said:

But which to keep? Anton Sugar (game) or Mr. Snrub? We can get our NeoGAF names changed, right?

I think EviLore only changes them under certain circumstances. Not 100% sure, but you don't see many name changes here.
Easier to change Origin name I think.

I join the server with 10 seconds left in the game and it crashes. Again.
-_- I seem to break it.

Thanks mate.
Usually after a week or two, it'll become clear that some people don't intend to play in the platoon and can be dropped. That's how every GAF clan works
Everyone signs up, then only a smaller amount actually play.Looking forward to some games today!

Okay, so I've been wrangling with the best way to keep track of gaffers and make the listing available. Currently, we have what is essentially a BF3 social networking tool in Battlelog and I think we should take full advantage of it. It's much easier to simply look up a GAF platoon and add friends from there, rather than having an OP (that needs to be manually maintained) with a list of users that you have to copy and paste into Battlelog.
Now, the disadvantages to relying purely on Battlelog are:
-Battlelog/Soldier names are not always the same as GAF name
-Harder to make sure that actual gaffers are requesting to join the platoon
Here is what I propose...let me know if anything sounds off or I'm missing something.
-We do away with the OP list of contacts completely and use Battlelog Platoons for GAF contacts
-If a platoon fills up, we make a second "version". For instance, NeoGAF NA East is currently full. We can make a second platoon called "NeoGAF NA East II" or 2 or something
Tricky part is matching up the Battlelog Soldier with a gaffer. We could:
-Ask applicants to put their GAF username in their profile. We could then just run a simple search for "Battlefield 3 + username" in GAF to "verify"
-Ask applicants to post a generic phrase like "My soldier name is WHATEVER" in the community thread before or after they apply. We can then search that exact phrase (making it easier to return the right result) and verify
The only unresolvable issue is easily matching up Soldier names with gaffers, if we rely purely on Battlelog. But I don't really feel this is an issue, as it's a mixed up clusterfuck in the first place.
Thoughts?

I haven't started playing MP yet, but I wanted to know whether the GAF server only runs 64 player Conquest, or do you have it set to play 64 player rush as well (which sucks I hear)?
Hopefully just CQ.

From BF3CC:
Hope it's soon. Maybe Canti's had more luck with some of the other admin tools.

I noticed I'm always in the top 10 players. Sometimes top 5.
GAF isn't as Godly as I thought.

Not sure. Strangely it started behaving properly late last night, but I can't explain why. I didn't do anything differently from what I had done before.Yaska said:

You and I had an epic session in the tank yesterday on Caspian. You were gunner. Rumbling stumbling bumbling through different capture points. When the RPGs came, I hopped out and repaired and you kept firing away. Repaired, hopped back in and kept on rumbling.
Was pretty sweet

Yeah that was a great run. We made it around the map a few times, I think.
I can't fly for shit, but I like tanks a lot.

Hey buddy, just change your Origin account name.

After a while, it'll change your BF3's character name. As I mentioned this morning, I changed mine to Commish33, but it only just now showed up on my BF3 page.
Hope this helps anyone who wants to get a new name!

Took out a Scout Heli with a tank on D. Peak, thank you GAF server. I'll make a donation next week, looks like I'll be playing on this server a lot due to how low the ping is (one of the lowest in my region -- 26 ping)

I'd much rather roll with you guys than Penny Arcade or Off Topic.
There is a NeoGAF Gold that just started up. Since we're all going to try and play on the same server, you might as well join gold, FAN the rest of the groups and then donate/play on the community server.

The Frankfurt stuff? It was a goof. Should have only gone to people with servers in Frankfurt.
Yeah, big WTF moment there for me. E-mail says, "don't worry, we're moving your servers to Frankfurt but you shouldn't notice any difference in the quality"
