So after a month of hard work and advertising we have finally reached our first milestone on our discord community channel, today we can proudly say we got our 500th member to join our ranks. Ofcourse we had to celebrate that like true nerds do and played tons of 6on6's as we always do, because we re all cool guys.
Unless you have been living in a cave (which im sure a lot of you did), you probably already know where our discord place is located and are already part of this awesome community, but in case, just incase you somehow missed that already, which could be seen from Moon as well, i will be so kind and drop a link here for everyone whos not yet there to joins us and enjoy all the good stuffs we got there.
Now down to some stuffs that we did on our path to this milestone:
- Started up with setting up basic gather for those players who wished to use it
- Promoted the discord on most of the ETPro and other related community sites for as many publicity as possible
- Got the support from rezta and banga who are our main server providers so our nerds can play ET 24/7 as well as using teamspeak for those lovely coms
- Worked on security for discord channel with my precious Gaius Cicereius who is like the true nazi there making sure everyone plays nice and you dont get random pimp requests from other servers, cus lets face, there's only one PIMP
- Got the lovely MEE6 bot as well to provide us with all the moderator work one needs to run this crazy community without getting a chaos :>
- Additionally we also worked on getting some fun for when we are not playing ofcourse, duh! We got us a trivia bot and a music bot, which is like best combination for a fine evening with a good glass of wine alongside a cracker.
- As mentioned above, we have Gather BOT which provides us with easy queing up for 3on3 or 6on6, which has proven to be a big success lately as we get tons of games going on every single day (picture can be seen above, those statistics are from this month only)
- We are working on getting a ranked system for gather as well, which will provide those who wish a bit more serious competitive gaming.
- Ran a 6on6 One Day Cup and had 11 teams participating in it
- Had some great showmatches with famous old faces coming back as well
I assume there could be some more stuffs found, but this is all i can remember off my head, for the rest you will simply have to join up and find it on your own. All of this ofcourse wouldn't have happened without the support of entire community that has been active or came back to enjoy the games with the rest of us. So if you are not yet part of us, what are you waiting for?!
As for those who are already part of this community, thank you for your support, thank you for your activity that you provide each day by either talking or playing the games, so we can keep our lovely game active and strongly alive at this point. Next milestone is to get this number even higher, who knows, maybe even a whole 1000 members on discord.
The best channel there #leslongscanons SI SI
LES CHOSES SE PASSENT A FOND SUR LESLONGSCANONS !!!!
Ta vie est sauve !
I Cannot wait to see this happening. It would take the gather to a next level. Good job to you guys!
who thought this will become so big as i created that channel 1,5 year ago.
it all started with a handful people and mixed scrims.
plan was to bring some activity back and get all the peepz together i like and i play with.
last year as i introduced that channel on cf, alot of people were like wuuut why do we need that we have teamspeak. and i had doubts if this will ever work.:DDD
BUT look where we are. we reached
500
I know our (okay my) spam skillz would help us. i'll never give that game up and will do everything to keep it alive.
cause the communtiy was and still is a good one! we have a lot of fun even though we are all so different. but exactly this is the reason why we came together once more. cause we have FUN!
spread the channel, spread the game. spread the love <3
Hopefully the win rate thingy leads to possibly more genuine fun matches rather than people tryharding by stacking teams when picking tho!
stacked teams are mostly the fault of low captains :D
Is there a way each player can voice their interest in being captain when doing the ++ command?
first thing to pick ppl and know them, would be that ppl name themselves on server as on discord or at least partly so u know who is who..
Each player should be able to insert a skill level from 1-3 and the bot would determine the fairest teams. I'm not sure how the logic for the bot is provided but if if can be written by a person I wouldn't mind assisting on that.
we will see how this works. if not we gonna improve here cus its ongoing improvement anyway
i was so happy and full of positive vibes. became impatient, wanted to share. couldnt stop :xxxxx
For instance the reply I got for asking for a new opponent on comms yesterday (on a Sunday evening) was that; "We can't since they're all playing the gather mixes."
well thats a so so thing, its positive cus people play alot and many.
negative cus u coudnt get oppo. maybe best workaround to msg captain of a team (menace or tsb or smth) and make an appointment
it prolly will change when we add the ranked scrims.
stay positive =)
ppl will get bored of playing mixes and hopefully will create teams instead
those oldschoolers could bring their old friends and play in team together
i have some ideas how to integrate pickup bot for team games
keep up the good work!
On a side note - anyone got idea what to do with 150 ping on hyperion gaming servers? Those are default pick for 6v6 mixes when creating a new game and I dont want to ask everyone to join genius servers each time I play the mix to get a decent ping. I have 50 on all the other servers ;P maybe some proxy or smth? other polaks seemed to have normal ping on hyperion, so I guess this is about my provider
