Challenge System

[sexy wooden spoon]

awsome's sounds good. The problem for a auto accept is that i am sure syndicate dont waana play elite_newbies09

.. also i am sure elite_newbies09 dont wanna play syndicate

[Desperate]

i agree with code. i dont like the idea of having to play a bad squad if its just not even fun for a better squad.

i would prefer if you could do something like the following

---------

Awesome> !addsquad TWDD
TWDBot0> Pirates has been added to the active list of squads in TWDD.

Awesome> !challenge TWDD
TWDBot0> The following squads are currently looking for a TWDD match:
TWDBot0> 1. Syndicate
TWDBot0> 2. Grapevine
TWDBot0> 3. Disoblige
TWDBot0> 4. -Final-
TWDBot0> 5. Pirates

Awesome> !removesquad TWDD
TWDBot0> Pirates has been removed from the active TWDD squads list.

---------

and also, when someone else added their squad, it'd be like ElimAlert/BElimAlert/BaseAlert, etc... all squads listed on their would be notified when another squad added their name to the list. so like if AnZu added Sk8 to that list, all of those squads would be pm'd with the following

(TWDBot0)> Sk8 has been added to the active TWDD squads list.

---------

Seems like an easy bot to make, hell i may even try if nothing gets done in the next 6 to 10 months. probably wouldn't take long to do for a bot programmer.

This sounds great. You check who wants a game, and then just !challenge them as usual.

I VOTE YES cause sometimes its hard to find a dd this would make it a lot more easier, cause u know whos looking for a dd and then u just pick one of them ratter than spaming the hole twd ladder untill some1 accepts dont think it would take too much code and u are not changeing anything just a add on

be something like !notplaying in ?go base and ?go wbduel but be !playing 5 min job

[geekbot]

It would be nice to be able to !challenge <any> or !challenge <list> but please don't limit the squads you can challenge. That will only limit the number of games you can play at a given time and it's hard enough to find a game sometimes.

If sneaking into TWL is a problem, <insert geekbots previous rants about the TWD ladder system/resets>. But as far as I can tell TWLB and TWLJ at least have the right squads in them this season.

[Stabwound]

I'm thinking Grapevine and maybe Tanked would have been better TWLB choices instead of sk8 or Melee.

I like the original idea in this thread, I think it just needs to be tweaked... like it wouldn't auto-accept if the squad is ranked too far away from you. it would say like "the only available squad is Pussynewbie4000, Rank 592, would you like to challenge?"

[MetalKid]

lol, its like you all are flaming me. I just threw the idea out, it's not set in stone. But if you have a choice of who to fight, its not going to solve any of the current twd problems. The best way would be to auto-match squads that are the closest rank. That could easily be done. Though, if it happens that only some "newb" squad is available to play... Isn't playing that better than nothing? And if it isn't, then why you playing twd at all?

[triceratops]

your webpage is all fucked up, man.

[MetalKid]

Yeah, I know. There used to be a cool java applet that controlled my menus... but it stopped working for no reason whatsoever... Oh well, I'm too lazy to deal with it.

read what i said again, it was to a variation on the original idea to prevent such an occurance from happening. it gives squads looking for a game in a particular league a menu of other squads who are looking for the same thing. so you dont have to repeatedly challenge or auto-accept against some far inferior or superior squad.

[colony]

If it were implemented in a way that any squad could be challenged, wouldnt it be kinda annoying due to spam issues?

To add to that. How about making a bot that disables challenges while youre in a game.. I find that can be pretty annoying too.

[Force of Nature]

The original idea is a pretty good idea. However for all practical purposes of what TWD are supposed to be etc the current system needs to remain.

Here is a couple of ideas:
You can have MKs challenge system work at a qualifying period for TWL like say for a month when it gets reset and when TWL qualifying spots are being challenged for.

However for general purposes of everyday challenging TWD should have the original system.

Now, there are many times that a squad wishes to play any squad that wants to play. Like big squads who don't care who they play.

In these types of situations:
We can have an additional system, where a squad can register to a play any squad pool. As soon as any other squad registers to this pool they get challenged to which they can accept. There will be about a 5 min timer to get removed automatically from the pool.

I like awesome's idea

All sounds complicated.

You guys are all aware of the chat TWD? use it... People jus go on there and ask for dd, whoever wanna dd, challenge, accept. gg. That way, you dont have to change anything, and its simple. I agree it is hard to get dd's at certain times but I dont think alot of squad would appreciate that mass spam all squad idea. Not only would you need a large BW but also you would get like 100 pms of different squads wanting to dd you or whoever. So there goes that idea. As for the 'pm the bot and play whoever pms the bot next' i also dont think that is such a great idea. I do see how that would MAYBE get rid of lame twdd squads dding newbs to get their way to twl, but I guess they will jus have to keep gettin their ass kicked in twl. No biggie. So... I really dont think there is anything wrong with the current system?? It would be a waste of time playing squads that are not even near each other skill lvls. :down:
