A few notes on TWL games

[THE PUSHER]

The pre-season starts today, and I'd like to point out a few things for everyone so we can clear any confusion from the start.


-Squads have 10 minutes to submit a line-up. The game will begin once the 10 minutes has expired. No extensions will be granted.

-For each game captains will be assigned with the bot, and caps are responsible for making their own substitutions and switches.

-If you lagout, you will be forced to wait for 60 seconds before you can re-enter the game.

-All substitutions will be made 30 seconds after the captain makes the sub request with the Bot.

-If a squad needs to add players into the game after it starts, entry will only be permitted in the first 2 minutes of the match, and the game referee is the only person who can enter a player into the game.

-Blueout is spec only in TWL. Players who are in the game, will be able to speak publicly, no one else will. This season, any staff member who violates a blueout, is automatically warned by the Bot (official moderator warning in red) and they are reported instantly to all staffers via ?cheater.

-If the Bot does not place you in the game, notify the ref immediately with your ship number.

-The !score function is currently disabled, still discussing its implementation.

-If the game ends due to zone or bot failure, it will be replayed in its entirety. Pre-season games will not be replayed.

-If for some reason your squad needs to make an appeal, please use the official channels outlined in the TWL rules. All other methods used for appeals will be ignored.

If you have any other questions, leave them here or ask a game ref or TWL-Op in the game.

Thanks,

-PUSH

Good deal with the 60 second wait when you lagout, aswell as the 30 sec wait before a sub is made.

Good stuff. :up:

[Awesome]

This season, any staff member who violates a blueout, is automatically warned by the Bot (official moderator warning in red) and they are reported instantly to all staffers via ?cheater.

It's good that your cracking down on this but shouldn't a staffer already know they're not supposed to talk in pub chat. Why do they need to be warned that they'll get a warning if they violate the rules?

60 secs is alot if u play in a LD game.

[RabbitRapist]

incase you didnt already know, twlb uses a blind lineup.

you will not know what ships the other team has until the game starts.

[Desperate]

Sounds good. But !score should definately be implemented. Or is the there a scoreboard working or something?

[Dynasty]

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but why does the !score function need to be discussed? Is there something wrong with it? Some uber hack to modify scores? .. meh..

[Leaf]

The sub and lagout sounds good! :up:

[Underground]

I agree with Dyn. whats about the !score function?

[RabbitRapist]

there's a scoreboard.

during the twlb test it was counting in seconds, so it was 900 seconds to win. i hope they change it to the format 15:00 instead.

[THE PUSHER]

The score function was disabled because it caused massive lagout issues with the Bots themselves. Thanks RR for reminding of the blind line-ups.

[Luckily Yours]

they arent really blind lineups, u can select the name of each person in the F2 menu and press CTRL, thus seeing in what ship they are in.

[Desperate]

If !score causes bot lagouts, and there is a scoreboard, the !score command is unnecessary.

[JeBu]

-For each game captains will be assigned with the bot, and caps are responsible for making their own substitutions and switches.

so there is 3 subs but how many switches?

[Golden_Aim]

That lagout thing is good.. Now u can't "escape" to spec.. Or u can but it's not worth it. so good job good job
