durka, no one is perfect. anyways, things went smooth I think. that incident - as you might call it - can be considered peanuts. no catastrophe.

Haha about goody


I agree, tell devs


I didn't see that :/
Actually, if the admin is playing... how could he see?
There was way too much spam during this ladle (at least in ladle 1) And I stopped reading chat after a while, because too full of bs :/


It was in the server name, and the message of day.


I agree.

Perhaps there should be an admin in each match that does not play so that when administrative tasks come around they can take care of it.
(i figure you guys would already know this by now...)
Cos like K-Yo said when ur in action ur not gonna be able to read the chats. Or at least would be understandable if you couldn't.

congratz, ct.

That was exactly what I have been doing in finals: I didn't play, was spec and watched. a few times I sent /msg to people to stay quiet, one time I even kicked one.

Well it seems like the problem happened in the first round.....cos of it...

nooooooooooooooooooo

As far as the man2d situation goes, here are what I believe to be the key facts (and please correct me if I am wrong because I am trying to help resolve this and I am not looking for an argument at all):

- man2d entered the server, before Durka was there and before the match had started.
- None of the Crazy Tronners told man2d that he could not play.
- gArIsImO entered the server.
- Twisted Rats decided to let garisimo play instead of man2d because they knew him better.
- Twisted Rats started the match with 8 players due to having gArIsImO.
- Durka came in later, after the match had started.

If these facts are correct then I don't think that there were any issues with /invite at all, the issue was that Twisted Rats had enough players both before and after Durka came in and man2d was not wanted or required by them.

In my opinion, it is down to each team to inform all other players in that team about who will be playing and how the /invite and related commands work. I probably would have said to man2d that the reason he can't play is because his team has not invited him using the /invite command but that should really be down to the team in question.

EDIT ~K-Yo: logs agree with these facts

After reading the logs (and monkey's previous message) I can tell you now that your team is the one to blame for that.
they perfectly knew he wanted to play (you told them earlier that he would ask to) and they refused to invite him on purpose.

about the xfroggy's problem, he did not leave but got spam kicked. probably spamming to death after he got silenced.
anyway, the fault here stays fully ours (mine) for letting too much moderating powers.

man2d wanted to join when TR only had 6 players. Then xfroggy rejoined and gari joined. And yes it's our fault, but in the future, there should be a /admin invite <player> <team_#> command (*cough* epsy )

I have just had a cunning plan.
We need a /SUBSTITUTE <playeronbench> <playerongrid> command, so that the team leaders can cleanly and quickly substitute players without any mayhem.

We really need server-side team lists that contain information on who is allowed on each team and whether they are currently allowed to play or just spectate.

There also seems to be some way that people can be on a team, while spectating, and talk to that team (I really need to look into this more).

monkey that does sound like a good idea only /SUBSTITUTE <player on bench> <player on grid> <position to give new player>

the <position to give new player> is optional and would default to the position of who they are taking out

Was thinking the same thing. Having a delegated person or a coach over-seeing the game and talk to his team would elevate the game to another level.

IIRC, this works if the player gets a /invite from the team.
