free training offered this coming weekend.

please reply if you intend on attending and what you need to work on.

topic suggesions:

setting up your keys to play with keyb + mouse combo
how to probe
how to prox
how to bomb
how to kill a miner
+ whatever else you want to learn that will make vets think you are a fake newbie :)

TIME/DATE: UTC Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 19:00:00 (PDT Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 12:00:00 Noon)

(its just regular sg time but on sat)

you have a couple days to reply back, if there's only a lukewarm response, i'll make the same training offer for the CDT session where you can still attend but we'll be covering more advanced topics (so you might get lost if you arent that advanced)

Well I'm 13 hours ahead of UTC...so that'll be 8pm on a Sunday for me. (can't make 1am one)

I SHOULD be able to make it...but I'll just log in now and then during the weekends anyway...

Some topics I might be interested in:
- How to dodge (yes sidethrusting...but I heard somewhere someone flew forwards in lazy circles? and it kinda worked?)
- I'm quite interested in knowing where to put my lil' probies
- And general practice on dogfighting. Circle of death?

this training is still on, but i've offered it to cdts as well. if you have basic keymapping questions/issues, lets resolve them before training so you can at least participate in the more advanced topics. post below if you got such issues and ill try to schedule a time to work with you on that.

thanks for joining me in this training session

had a bunch of new players , cdts, and afs drop by at various times... this training session went on longer than i had anticipated (+3 hrs) and we focused mostly on miner o with a scout.

for those of you who came late or had audio issues and couldnt hear me, here is a video covering the basic concepts. be sure to turn on your annotations so you can see the text boxes highlighting key points.
