freakin tag was played like all the time.. if that's trying 'new' gametypes, then I'll pass.

i usually am a freeze only player, pickup made me play ctf, tdm, CA and even ffa once.

I wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every penguin that didnt wanna screw to save its species.

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.

yeah and who's gonna code that eh? Im pretty sure we cannot modify the echbot's code so maybe you wanna script a bot from scratch? Didnt think so...Sadly we are limited with what we get.

crackdown, it is for sure not limited by the ammound of players, since e+ would have really enough to make 5-10 channels like this.

it is limited through the interest of the people and willpower.

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be there's been some sort of an error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all am I not afraid of dying
Don't believe that there never is an end

a) it's antisocial
Cool e+ is a specialist mod already, u wanna make it more private?
c) tried and tested and it didnt work
d) good luck with it anyhow, i hope it does work out this time Winking

LOL

anyway for all those people who f1'd this topic, get an irc client and idle on #e+pickup on quakenet. better yet, get ur friends to idle there. im sure if trance or foksie or someone noticed one day that there were suddenly 25 people idling in the channel theyd start up the games on their own.

ps: i think the main reason why the games died were because people were just too impatient. ok fine u dont like waiting an hour for a game when u just want to have some fun. but that doesnt stop u from adding up for a game and then playing a pub game until the pickup gets full. after all u can just /quit in the middle of a pub game.

I agree.... I think the main reason was being impatient. or trying hard to make the # of players needed wasn't possible many times.

What if we made peoples server a private server, i.e. password only, no fakenicks, etc. Callvote would be available for gametype, etc. Then, all u have to do is go wait for ppl, or hopefully not Big grin

Let me know what u think, and if it's cool with all my admins we can do it np.

btw---- wb wonks Cool

Mistress - IMHO it won't work. In pickup you can speak with others while waiting etc, it's not so boring like to join server and wait there alone for a long time until someone appear etc, dunno why but I just feel it won't work Smug
