pickup ctf!!!

Hey guys, pickup ctf is finally added to irc!

I think if a bunch of ~'U.s and R's and some Ww or mym players started to add and we started getting a lot of ctf pickup matches going,
then fort nabs would start to play and ctf would grow in general!

for those of you who don't know what irc is/how to use it, follow these steps:

http://sites.google.com/site/aapickup/

fill in the steps like write your nickname, etc.

once your at the pickup channel, you will most likely see a bunch of people online..

Here are a bunch of commands for adding/working irc:

!add ctf4.eu = add for a pickup ctf game
!remove = remove if you have to leave/don't wanna play
!who = to see if their is a game going on/who's playing in it
!lastgame = to see when the last game of pickup was played
!promote ctf4.eu = advertise a pickup ctf game


also, they have 6v6 fort, a pickup game of ctf with fort physics created by durka (pretty fun), and team sumo pickup just to let those of you who don't know, know.

cool idea
went on, but seemed stupid.
im optimistic it will get better tho :)

ew eu.

hmm so like srs matches

yeah except organized srs matches and people who mess it up get kicked

the only con is that the servers are all eu unless someone wants to start hosting a U.S one

I can't believe comp did not promote himself to host US one

agreed.

do you have to sign up or can people just inform you of when they are

you have never played in a pick-up game before :O?

only srs matches not pickup

what he said

what he said too

he said that he played only srs ctf matches, not pickup; I played not only srs ctf matches but also fort pickup...

When you "!add" it's like you're signing up for a game that will happen whenever enough people !add
So "!add"ing is like informing people..

how do you know when it's full?

when it's full, game is started

that did not answer my question at all...
like, does it make a noise? does it automatically pull up arma on ur comp and throw u in server?
or do you constantly have to watch the screen until it says 8/8 players !add-ed?

it gives a highlighted message in the chatroom with all the players as well as two team captians, you then go to the server and elect the captains to be 'referees' which is like team leaders, you invite team members one by one and then it starts

if you use `normal irc clients`, they can blink in tray and also provide a sound

thank you both. that answered my question :)

needless to say we should all try it at least once

yeah plus it preps you for ctf brawl in a week
