iFT and iCTF pickup channels and guide (Read 975 times)

[Prophy]

iCTF pickup channel #instagib.ql  ++  iFT pickup channel #iftpickup.eu

!add To get added to the next match up
!remove To remove yourself from the next match
!who To see who has !add in the upcoming match

So the basics are.  You join the pick up channel.

You type !add and you will be automatically added to the next upcoming match.  Once all spo are filled either yourself or someone else will spawn a server along with the password. 

If you don't have prem or pro invites can be sent but you need to ask.

Team captains are nominated when all spo are filled.

Join the server and stay in spec until the team captain starts picking his teammates then once your name is called join that team.

If you are nominated as a captain it's normally gaunt for first pick of players and map choice.

If you have to leave before the match has been filled then type !remove

Don't wander too far because sometimes the matches can be arranged quite quickly.

These matches very rarely end up with people quitting so if you can't be sure you can play the whole match don't !add.

But most importantly enjoy yourself and learn from some of the better players.

iCTF Stats: ictf-stats.com/stats

Another edit:
This is made by kodisha give him some credit if you see him around ictf stats from all games, not just pickups! It's still in development

PS: in #instagib.ql you do need to specify the gametype, for example: !add ctf or !add ctf2

Yeah, I wanna start playing pickups now I'm pro!

[terrorj]

Go to quakenet irc ,channel:#instagib.ql
Commands:
!add CTF (if you want to enter the next match)
!remove
(If it last to long or you dont wanna play anymore)
!lastgame(well last game )
pw:pickup
You can find the matches bij picking ictf on ql and then premium matches.
Follow those commands or you may not play there for a time...
And it's way better then public matches,no one will leave during a match and the players are better.

Oh, so you have checked everyone ;D

Offcourse
I'm with the 50 best cappers in the world ...
You around the 400,proph around 300 and kry also in the first 100
Lolzy around the 1000
Makes it pretty easy for me to take the best players with the next cup and to see if someone is good at capping or defending.

[thewookster]

lolololol

My 3 games are. 2 with kry as a mess around and jumping in earlier on because I saw terror and prophy a man down.

I wonder where I would get if I actually played more?

Well I guess we won't find out because after playing 5 mins earlier on, gawd I was bored. lololol

It's from the past x days till now so it's not stuff from 1 month ago.

What went wrong yesterday Lolzy?From Slip I understand but youre in the insta team
I think theyre easy,could do the caps on my own yesterday,and the second map I brought the flag like4/5 times in our base...but getting shot around our base and even in our base when whe had like 2 def there and Lolzy had to finish the cap,while I was telling take the flag but no one saw him :/
Secure the flagcarrier guys!And remember when they have the flag all att and mid def go to mid to intercept them.
Practciepracticepractice,remember the cups whe are gonna do are much harder then this practice whe do.

[Marcer]

Well for starters, I really think that I was hmm alone. Could be that we don't train all that much and that's why I felt separated from the team.
I really felt detached from the team yesterday!
I would cap 3-4 times yesterday. I got the flag, shot the defender, went out and...found enemy railing me in the mid. I was killed in the mid all the time. Not in our base, not in theirs - but mid.
I also think that we must convey a clear strategy to all teammembers, like which way do we press on, where to watch out, and definitely we need to arrange our attacks. I think we lack a bit in this department (thats what I thought yesterday).
Think that got us caught down yesterday was lack of coordination - definitely on my part, but that means that I'm not "arranged" into the team well and need a lot of practice iwth you guys. Maybe you understand each other well without words now, but I need to be tuned in as fast as possible. Because yesteday, for one reason or another, I was playing a separate CTF match
Also I think that we must take cue from our enemies. If 8's attack in threes with one def, we should too.
