1. Introduction
  • We made this channel to provide more than only "public"-gaming for the aq2-scene. A public game means, everybody can decide when to come and when to go. Thus the games are not organised enough and a good teamplay with the same players on two maps is rarely possible. So we wanted to have a better teamplayquality even when there currently is no clan available to play against.

2. How it works / Rules
- Just come into #pickup.aq2 and type "!add" to add yourself to the list of
players who want to play when eight players are available.
This means for you:

- "speak english"
- English makes most likely sure that we can understand each other.

- "only add yourself when you are sure, you can play"
- Check your ping to the serverip listed in the topic. If it doesn't fit
your needs then please don't whine around. Just don't add yourself.
- Collecting players for playing needs its time, so be sure, you have
the time for it. Oh, and btw, playing needs it's time too:
- A match will last two maps, each map take 20 minutes.
- Be sure to have working configs. (Yes, this already happened too)

- "be there when the game is about to start!"
- The channelbot calls everyones name when the list is full, so just
make a highlighting responding to your nickname in irc. Preferably, a
loud sound, which you can even hear, when you are in the kitchen or
on the balcony.
See http://www.quadaver.de/memberpages/haui/mirc_howto_highlight.gif
for details on doing this for mIRC.
- The channelbot even gives you all the information you need in private
chat. (aq2-server and password)

- "don't fake."
- It is essential to know each others name to check whether everyone who
was listed within the channeltopic came to the server.
- At least, if your ircnick and gamename differ, tell the other
players your irc-nick when you are on the server.
- You may change your name on the server after the teams are set.
- These things can be really annoying setting the game up. An extremely
annoying behaviour of some people can result in a channelban.

- "the two captains will chose their players."
- The bot calls two captains randomly, of which, the first one has to join
team 1 and the second team 2.
- Now the captain of the first team begins to elect ONE player. The other
captain elects the next one.. and so on.. until no players are available
anymore.
(Yes, you get it.. it's like building teams in school in sportsclass)

- "every team needs to decide on a map (and perhaps teamskin and teamname)"
- The captains need to ask their teams which map they will play.
- The captains may use the "teamskin"-command to change to
male/ctf_r + male/ctf_b OR male/cyrus + male/nut.

- "don't drop off the server when the game is running."
- A 4on4 needs, as the name says, four versus four players. Eight
players, not more and not less. You can screw the whole game up
by just disconnecting in the middle of the game. Such things can happen
by accident, but if you do this by intention you will not be tolerated
in this channel again (resulting in a ban).
3. FAQ
Q: If I part from the channel now, will the bot remove me from the list?
A: Yes.

Q: Will you put the bot in other channels so the '!promote'ing will attract more people?
A: No, an automated message in channels like #action.ger or #aq2.nl is like doing
unasked advertisement. Similar to an /amsg (spamming feature of mIRC) it's just
annoying.
Join #pickup.aq2 and you won't miss anything.

Q: I have seen a bug!!
A: We (and I) currently know of a bug, which appears, when the game is going
to start but someone more typed '!remove' or '!add' in the same moment too. The bot
starts the game, sets the topic for a new game AND then changes to the old topic to
consider the last command.
If you saw another bug than this, pls report it.
