Perhaps if you could post the time you plan on doing this, the others
will definitely appreciate it. Considering the gang carries banners
from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden, UK, US, and perhaps more.
Another piece information that helps is perhaps - how long after you
create the NL game, will you start selling SoJ's.
One last thing for you to consider, if you post the IP here, a lurker
can post that to the IRC channels and/or other forums, and that IP will
get clogged in a matter of minutes, making it harder for the late
participants to get on that IP. On the other hand, if you don't post
the IP here and turn out you don't have enough SoJ's ...
To the participants:
I joined such Cloning sessions several times, twice in fact, traded for
the other 3, 1 just showed up in game, and 1 free from a friend. As
you may know, I only had 1 set of CD keys and on dial-up. My strategy
was to have Diablo windowed, so I could type "netstat" each time I
created a new game (if your computer is as outdated as mine, it helps
speed things up a little by setting your screen resolution to same as
that of Diablo). Only create 1 game per minute, 9 games per 10
minutes. Yeah, it is a good idea to put a clock in front of you. It
will also be useful to number your game, e.g. qzx1, qzx2, ..., qzx9,
qzx1, ... thus you know your 10 min mark. I had never gotten a R/D
this way.
