Count the times when you need a pickup admin. We are not staying in an arma server 24/7, pure and simple.

I'm sort of willing to get the bot to do more stuff directly on the servers once I get the required changes into the bot's code.

lol what

I've seen loads of people ask "how do I play" but they rarely come back after getting votekicked. I think when I started I only didn't get the same because people felt sorry for someone saying "what is going on why am I being kicked"

yeah of course I see those aswell, but with a "new face" I meant someone that actually stayed and became active fort player :P

smh dariv, are you dense or just pretending to be? you think http://webchat.freenode.net/ is hosted by armagetron pickup?

If you don't like captcha, download a real irc client / use chatzilla for firefox.

Short answer; Yes.

Long answer; Yes and you really should invest in a client as suggested by Liz. You stated before that you get dropped from IRC a lot, web clients will do that from time to time. Get a client, problem(s) solved.

rules wrote:If you sub in for !lastgame, please remember to !remove.
(now that I'm thinking of this I'm not sure if this should be taken as a rule or as a recommendation, in the latter case you can dismiss this post)

I feel that this rule can be a bit counter productive in some cases. The rule makes sense when the sub is needed at the beginning of the game, but when the game is in a later stage I'm personally hesitant to sub in because of this rule, especially when it's busy and I'm not sure if I can win the !add game for the next match.

Anyway, just my 2c

The rule has to remain because of past (zZz) drama; One summer there were a lot of arguments about making it more fair for people to add after a game (hence the Match Winner rule as well), so the one about !removing is sort of an appendix to that.

If there is not long left (usually less than a quarter) I usually say to the sub that they can forget about removing because of what lack is saying

Also whilst I'm here a kind reminder for those playing to not leave or re-add until the match winner splash is shown. Furthermore if you have a grievance take it to an admin & refrain from arguing in the channel thanks
