Ladle: gid for one team

[PokeMaster]

I'm posting this here to 1. see if it is allowed (for both these forums and for the ladle rules) and to 2. see the community's opinions of it before I would proceed to do so.

I'm thinking about creating an R gid, something like Rcapt@forums, that we can use to to sign up our team for the ladles. Everybody in R would know the password. The benefits are a) If a teamleader can't show at the last second, then somebody can quickly and seamlessly step up to the plate to perform the team leader function, and b) so that any R can enjoy the benefits of logging in as Team Leader in an empty ladle server during off-ladle days.

So, does this seem reasonable, or should I not tamper with it?

Great Idea, I'm stealing it now and using it. thanks!

Nice idea but I could imagine some issues.
For example you have to change the password every time a player leaves the team.
In order to fix that, the password should be randomly generated by a script right before the start of a tournament.

Well if someone leaves the team, all the "captain" has to do is come on here and take 10 seconds to change the team password. I actually like the idea but for me, I really don't care if this is implemented or not.

didn't we decide that team leader that signs up has responsibilities, therefore if they don't show, that teams the one with the problem?

Can you login with same authority twice on the same server? as in can 2 players login at it? I don't like the idea of a full team having team leader status if that is posible.

no kyle, you get one login with one GID. If one person is already logged in with syllabear@forums I cannot login with it.

Sign up your most likely members to make it, most teams even have 2 members signed up as co-captains. If neither of them can make it, pick more reliable members next time.

It is a really good idea and like what spin said he some one leaves it only takes 10 secs to change the password.

Thanks for the responses. I'm not really so much concerned about a team not having the proper authority come ladle time, but for all players to have the ability to have access to ladle servers where they can lock and manage teams for pickup matches. It just seems like it would be a nice thing for everybody to have.

And in terms of everybody using it at once, that wouldn't happen. The person leading the team would use it, and everybody else would login with their normal gids.

That @ladle authority idea I had would still be the best solution.

...a login system like @ct could be set in place, team leaders could authenticate as @ladle/leader....

I've just lost interest in the project, It is semi functional now (with login/register and stuff) but nothing else really is there. Arma login could be added pretty easily to it also. Just all the event making stuff. If anyone wants to take it from here I'll find out someway to release the code/let you work on it.

This isn't needed

"Team Members" They have no specific authority other than all equally deciding on a new Team Leader if the original team leader is not present (or wishes to promote somebody else to the new Team Leader).

[Stripes]

Unnecessary, but a good idea nonetheless, and I see no reason why it couldn't / shouldn't be implemented.

[Mkay1]

Because rajinn did this.
