I to have very many fond memorys of playing OP2 on WON.
I used to play with Ron, Falcon and other players a lot.
Was great fun.. and i wasnt that good then and got beaten most times
Yep, using the keyboard hotkeys etc is vitial to speed in op2.
Some days on IRC can be slower than others, less people etc. the key is to stick with it, keep coming on and playing.
When there is no one around to play you should use the game pickup system, type !add in the channel to be added to the game. Once someone else joins the game and the game if ready you will get PMed, irc should beep if set up so u know u have a pm. Even better is to use NNScript, when u get a PM a popup comes up by the clock.
Cant wait to play OP2 again
