Add !kill command to bot

[Lame]

If it's not too much of work: can you add a !kill command to bot? (only to be used by captains and or assistents)

This should give such a message (or something simular):

"<Playername> of <squadname> requested this game to cancelled. If both captains agree the game will be killed. Type !kill to the bot to kill the game."

This way we don't have to spec or whine to get a mod to do it. I don't see any benefits in needing a mod to do it anyways, if both captains agree (just like with !addplayer).

sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately those ideas get overlooked in tw.

What if an assistant on the other team was comprimised? At least this way you'll have a third party to do the job, so the chance of them abusing the match is much unlikely.

like u would come help

its a good idea. since most staff wont come in time or at all it cant be abused if BOTH captains have to agree

[Lame]

Well i personally don't see the danger of abusing. If an assistent might screw up something you can allways demote him as punishment.

a command used to exist, then, after no explaination, it disappeared

Personally, I'm against a !kill command. One reason being what Kim said and another reason that many people overlook. What's the need for a kill command in the first place? To cancel a game automatically on your own. Why would you need to cancel a game automatically? Well, I can think of a few reasons, but all of them except one come back to poor leadership in a squad. With the occasion that the leader is good, and he's recruited good players(not talking about skill) and one of those good players just got disconnected, then you have two options of asking the other squad to respectfully end the game, and the other option of requesting help from a TWD op.

I just don't like the idea of holding the hands of squad leaders anymore than we have to, many are already in a sad state today. Talking to your players and telling them to stick around until you !removechallenge goes a long way. With that in mind, I'm against anything that rewards poor leadership and in the situation where it's not the leaders fault, there are two options.

or just wait for pirates who adds a player in the last second whilst only having 3 online

Theres one BIG problem to all these bot suggestions...

The matchbots are hosted on tw's server, priitk changed the passwords,
now no bot updates can be made at all...

I've explained this in the TWSDx thread.

There are good points from both sides of the argument here.
And as for said pirates, if u try to cancel a game and they add players let
an op know, they'll tell me and we can look at the game and see only one
player has been added and i'll void it and return points.

Im running out of time, sorry for the short reponse.

What are you talking about

What are you talking about

sometime before reset, it was 1-1. pirates only had 3 online, we specced, you added someone in the last second and we ended up forfeiting. point is: it's not always poor leadership, some squads just have 28 year olds who laugh at just anything

I didn't add anyone, I've never lamed anyone for points. I've never seen pirates lame anyone for points and I asked Herc if he ever remembers Pirates laming anyone for points, he also said no. If you're positive it was pirates, then it was most likely an (A) that did it, in which case Herc wasn't clear with (A)'s that we don't need to get points that way, thus it falls back to leadership. Although it's hypothetical of course, and I do take your point that it's not always poor leadership, as I mentioned in my first post.

i didn't mean you as in you, i'm not even sure if you were in the squad at that moment. we don't really care about it anyway, but sure we remember for next time
