So what's the consensus on inviting people to prime who are in other games?

Historically speaking, it seems as though personal messages to individuals work better for priming than a post on here or even a Steam event.

I'm always hesitant to bother somebody about priming the TF2 server if they're in some other game but personally, I would almost always prefer to be TPG-TF2-ing than playing another game.

If there's not any regs on I might start up some other game to play during my free time (especially during Steam Sale times, like now, when I've picked up a new game or two), but I'm pretty much always open to saving and getting into a TF2 smackdown.

I guess what I'm really asking is: Are the rest of you ok if I start bugging you about priming even if you're already in another game?

My big problem is when I get invites to TPG games when I'm already priming a different TPG game.

Like this isn't a thing I get usually with TF2 but it's L4D2 which I've quit, but I still get invites to games when I'm priming say DoD.

I never really thought of that. I'm fairly new to the TPG community and TF2 is the only TPG game I play.

I first came across the TPG server about a year ago and loved it right from the beginning. I used to ALWAYS have to wait to get in, but over the last few months it has gotten pretty sparse. Most nights we have a hard time even meeting the Quick Play threshold much less getting a decent game going.

Is it like that in other games too?

Usually setting up an event in the TF2 group suffices and then bugging the guys not in game usually gets a few more.

I'll help prime if I'm in another game, especially if it's during a good time of day/night to fill the server.

I normaly dont invite anyone already in a game, but I have enough people on my friends list from TF2 that during normal gaming hours I can hit 15-20 people who are online and active with PMs anyway.

I generally don't invite people in other games (especially other multiplayer games), but I wouldn't mind if people invited me to play TF2 if I am playing something else at the moment.

I won't necessarily come join the server 100% of the time, but the game invite will never be regarded as spam.

Tap, i would imagine anybody who posts on TPG and you see pretty regular on the servers will not be upset if you sent them a message. I agree with EBF
