maybe if some kind of process being browser (or cross platform for those who want to use irc) based to get into pickup can be created... that would be cool and may even increase participation.

err pjirc? You can access it via http://drt.excessiveplus.net (irc channel link)

not even needed to do that, u can for example connect to irc via browser plug in from e+ main page.

f1, but the earlier version of pickup.

let all sign for the game and vote the gametype on the server then. if you part it into 2v2 and freeze and tdm and ctf youll never get enough players...

yes but if you have only 1 selection, then there will be too many players fighting over too little... Happy so must seperate it some how

Games were pretty good on pickup made me try an play a bit better.
Usally saw alot of peeps who u never see on public.
No fake nickers.
If you wanted a game to the next best thing to a clanwar pickup was the shit.

But thing that sucks most is waiting to play for a game.

actually that was the best thing that ever happened to xpluspickup.. multi-gametype-pickup gave people the opportunity to play what they signed for,and not what the majority voted for.

I guess you gonna host em? It was difficult to find 1 server.. (since pickup servers were empty most of the time, not many server owners wanted to 'waste' their resources to host them)

In addition having two servers will not solve the (forced)gametype issue.

@Reno
A) its not antisocial at all -> look @ #cpmpickup.
Cool short info on the mainpage.. and voila - its not private anymore.

Yep during that first era, people were actually less willing to !add simply cause they didnt want to be forced to play a gametype they hate.

So seperated gametypes ftw.

additionally:

it might be a good idea to modify the bot so that it auto sets the player ammount.

for example if 4 people !add, and then noone !adds in next 10 minutes, the game is started as 2v2. if someone does !add in those 10 minutes, the bot waits for another. then when 6 are added, it waits for 10 minutes, and if noone adds the game is run as 3v3.

That way during peak hours games could end up as much as 5v5 or 6v6, while during slow hours there should always be at least someone playing on the pickup server, even if its 2v2.

Would definitly make people more willing to !add.

made ppl try new gametypes ... i liked it.

i cant host 2 servers cos i cant afford it but looking at the number of 24/7 empty servers i think you would find someone, but w/e

i think too many different possibilities suck, 3 ppl !added @2v2, 2 @freeze and another dude @tdm... and noones gonna play ^^ rather play 3v3 ctf then ~~
