I had previously made a topic in the Computers/Technology forum to ask the people of SEN their ideas on making a group within Steam
(click here if you don't know what Steam is) just for SEN and StarCraft
(here is the original topic). From that point, I made this group and I had in mind the goals of 1. bringing more people to SEN by promoting this group, 2. by bringing people to SEN, this might help get people back into the mood of playing StarCraft once again, and 3. give an almost 'hangin' place for the people of SEN when there is nothing to talk about on the boards or when they want to go into a match with someone or something. Having the ability to go into the SEN chat room within Steam makes it very easy to schedule a match with someone or see where they are. Steam also makes things easy for match making due to the ability to launch StarCraft right from Steam. If you need to chat with anyone then hold shift and hit tab and you will be able to view the Steam overlay and chat with people, this also helps with making a match than over Battle.net. I have gotten this approved by IP so this isn't something that I'm just pulling out of my butt. I understand that in the beginning it will be hard to get used to but I'm asking anyone who has/uses Steam to please join this group and help promote my goals that I have set for making this. Any feedback is welcomed...

Ok, people... Things have changed. No longer are we going to be dealing with the way Steam has been messing with us and thanks to Nintendo_Confed we have now moved on out to XFire. The clan site on XFire can be found at
http://www.xfire.com/clans/stareditnetwork/. Simply make an account and sign up, much easier than Steam and the overlay on XFire is said to work with StarCraft. I have not had the ability to learn how to use the overlay yet but that is a different story. Please sign up if you can because I think that having all of the SEN community on their will help a lot with some of our functions that we currently have going on.
Remember....

None.
Of course my name is taken already... Since when did it become popular
I've never used steam before because I don't play games much. However, would this make map nights even more of a community thing?
None.
I posted the answer to your question about a half hour ago... I know it has Counter Strike all over it but for me to put it onto the calender I had to assign it a Steam game... Please don't mind that because I put in a notice for everyone else to just not look at that part as well...
Mod Night on March 15th Eventand
Notice to not look at the fact that Counter Strike is on the events
None.
But those were last week's mods now ;o
None.
I'm simply putting in what you have down for me to see.... If you would like anything to be added or what not then please PM me what it will be and I will add it right away. I don't remember if the Steam accounts a free (I think they are) but if you had an account, I could set you to be the admin of the group and you could edit/add things to the group online through your web browser and not even have to have Steam installed...
None.

I know
I'm just saying.

You are managing it just fine though. I'll have to try it out for MM's next mod night.
None.
Wouldnt using X-Fire be easier? Starcraft is at least a supported game on XFire.. I think Starcraft isnt even on Steam's sell list..
None.
it would imo (partly because I use it more)
None.

Yes, StarCraft is not on Steams sell list and I know the whole group thing might seem a little out of whack, but I find this to be a lot better than making something on XFire.
None.
Ill join anyways (as long as you gift me Counter Strike Source
)
Name is kevdama.
None.
how come the overlay doesn't work in starcraft for me.
(it works for wc3..)
None.
Because you have Craptasik disease!
Naw, but really, SC on steam sounds ok, but will enought people be there?
None.
Getting on steam to play starcraft sounds like a lot of trouble to me. Might as well just use a ladder server :-).

It used to work... Don't know what happened to it. Have been trying to figure this out now on the Steam forums but nothing is helping...

Trying to get as many people on as possible right now... And then we move onto the step of promoting this on B.Net (well I will anyway) and on other groups within Steam to get them to join. Mind you, this also is planning to serve as a nice way to easily setup matches with each other on B.Net, that is if we can get the overlay to work correctly...

Steam barely takes up any memory and I'm trying to find out how to make the overlay work again... This is the only game that it doesn't work on right now on my games list
None.
I know I shouldn't double post but I need to bump this up due to the change I have made in this. Please read first post everyone!
None.
Thats the first time someone actually listened to me on this site.
Thanks lol.
Btw i barely noticed this, editing the first post didnt bump it on front page, consider begging IP to allow you to make topic over again.
None.
finally. i wondered why we were using steam in the first place
the chat-in-game does work with xfire; the default hotkey is scroll lock + x but it can be changed in the settings.
None.

I think that this will do alright as long as we keep this thread going in the news forum...

So that's how it is done...
On another note, I'm trying to accept applications ASAP right now. People will also be given ranks as well...
None.
