    • procedure

    1. When topic is full, everyone joins the designated server (5 minute deadline)

      2. Please make sure that you can join the server beforehand. We have had some people with DNS issues before. Load up NeoTokyo and check if the server works and has good ping for you, or don't add.

    2. Everyone must also join the Ventrilo channel. Even if you don't have a mic, it's important to at least hear what your other teammates are saying. Team 1 is NSF, Team 2 is Jinrai
    3. Do not alias, use your regular nick / IRC nick
    4. Put 'spec' in your name if you are spectating
    5. Everyone can spec or joins the teams as designated by the pickup bot if they want to warmup
    6. Current ruleset from July 7th - Once everyone has joined, the admin will change the map. As soon as everyone loads the map, you join your team and it's live. Again, live on map change
    7. Future versions of bot will allow admin access from the IRC channel, and callvote functions so that the hassle with joining spec and waiting to join teams will not be an issue. When the pickup starts, everyone will join the designated server + teams, and simply /callvote map, and then /callvote restart when both teams are ready
    8. The pickup bot is automatically designed to scan the server every 30 seconds when a pickup starts for 5 minutes to check for users. Your in-game name MUST contain your IRC nick somewhere in it, or it will mark you as not present.

    server ruleset

    1. Round time is 3:00 each (including the 15 second buytime)
    2. If timelimit runs out, the team with more players will win

      3. - If the teams have equal playercounts, the round will end in a tie which doesn't add to either of the teams' totals

    3. The first team to 7 wins is the winner
    4. 2 Support class limit, admin enforced for now. If you want to discuss the rules, the channel is probably the best place for it.

    community rules

    The following rules should be obvious and self evident but are listed nonetheless. It is impossible to list all imaginable offenses, hence the "Do not act lame" rule.
    1. Please make an account on GameSurge. Until you do, you will not be allowed to speak in our channel.
    2. Do not act lame, do not troll, regardless of whether or not you are added.
    3. Use a nick that contains your IRC nick in it, it will help us see who is missing much quicker.
    4. You must be at the server within 5 minutes, after which any other player may take your place.
    5. If you are unable to play your replacement must be at the server before the same 5 minute deadline.
    6. Once a player has accepted to sub he is regarded as a signed player.
    7. Always stay the entire match.
    8. If you must leave a match, get a sub by writing "1 needed at for CTG / TDM " in #ntpickup.
    9. Do not leave before your sub is on the server and ready to join.
    10. 999 disconnects are regarded as regular disconnects, unless the player rejoins server as soon as possible.
    11. If anyone breaks the rules and a channel operator is available, then a temporary ban will be made.
    12. Post-game whine will not be tolerated in game or in channel. Whining about teams or map will result in a ban.

     

    bans

    1. No show and ruin.
    2. 8th person to add no show.
    3. Disconnect without sub
    4. Attempts to evade bans, either on IRC or on the pickup server, will result in a double ban period.
    5. Deliberately trying to sabotage a pickup = 1 week or more.
    6. When you are banned you are not allowed to sub for anyone. If you get caught doing so your ban will doubled.
