People are deciding they've had enough Jazz 2 for a while, but here's a newbie for ya!

Well, Jazz 2 ain't dying anytime soon for me! I've always been a solo Jazz player, because I didn't have a good internet connection. Well now I have cable and Jazz 2 and TSF run great on my Windows XP machine. I'm actually not just a Jazz 2 online newbie, I'm a online gaming newbie. Actually, I'm even a chat newbie! So this is all so exciting to me. I did play Jazz once online, and there was this guy who was so good, and another guy who wasn't even playing but was still connected.

I'm good at Jazz 2 single player, but haven't been able to get experience with strategies or ways to win online. I'm not even good at coming up with a unique name! At every board I just use my name, and the boards where I'm rkpellagirl is just because my name was already taken there.

So, how about some online gaming tips for a newbie, eh? First of all, how do you come up with a good name? When you come up with one, are you supposed to always use it so people recognise you online, or do you like to change it to trick people sometimes? Do you normally use the same character/colours?

Next, how do I play it online? Will it automatically connect me through the game menus, or do I have to go to a Jazz server website and choose a server? Oh, I guess I could just read the JJ2 manual. Right now I only have The Secret Files loaded in and not JJ2.

Hope you'll respond soon. And I hope to see you online - er, through the game and not just these boards.
