#tdmpickup Updates.

- Website (improved http://tdmpickup.eu nothing fancy, some rules and a webirc)
- Mumble (tdmpickup.eu: 64738 pw: pickup , there some channels made, but you can make own temp channels)
- New teampicking: 1-2-2-1 (instead 1-1-1-1) Making the teams abit more balanced.
- !promote works
- Added Freezetag !add ft
- Updated maplists
- !top10 works now
- added Tornado to 4v4 mappool
- removed Camgrpounds from 4v4 mappool (alot of cups dont use it anymore)

Less then one month ago (5 december) we started this channel, is has been running smooth so farr with arround roughly 20-25 pickups a day, we are hoping to improve is so any feedback and suggestions/help you have is welcome..

ps get all your buddies to #tdmpickup anyone who has pro account gets +voice (so he/she can spawn servers)

also you need premium or pro to join the server or someone who is on friendlist to invite you to the server

(About 200idlers in the channel hoping to surpass qlpickup.eu someday !)

to those who yet have to play there, it actually works great. havent ever had a game where theres been issues with servers, on rare occations there are a few too many regular users so it'll take an extra few minutes to get started, but overall it's awsum.

plus i'm there, thats like the best thing ever \D:\?

Are there enough tdm newbies? I would like to give tdm a try but I'm kinda afraid that I spoil games with no tdm experience at all.

well.... you can always try :) i mean if you wanna improve your game and you dont have a TDM team or cant find pcw's this is the way

I mean I'm not a total noob anymore (aim/timing) I just never have played a tdm game. I'll give it a try this week.

sometimes I think it's too many but I guess that's besides the point. I mean, they let me play, how bad can it be, right? :D naw, seriously it's been fun although I hate dm14 in pickup. It's worthless ;/

tbh im really happy there are lots of new players who seem to be playing on a daily basis, next natural step for them is to join/form clans -> scene grows \o/

According to the experts only duel is a test of skill and everything else is worthless so not much point in this!

unless of course they are wrong and full if shit :)

I know what thread you are referring to. Believe you me, if any, duel is the ultimate test of your skill.

i disagree, i can name many players who maybe very good in duel but they dont shine in TDM or CTF for example, it has to do putting practice time into it , some are very fast in adapting and switching from modes some are not

Interesting, so do you think FFA can be detemined to judge the skill level of someone, given its essentially like TDM and CTF?

Im mean in TDM or CTF you have other people who can potentially save you, or kill, you, and there are at least 4 random opponents who are trying to kill you, so its not that different.

there is less strat, but then you don't have anyone looking out for you in FFA either.

i guess ffa and some TDM can be compared cause of the cess fests on several maps. Overall tdm you stick together and try to control big items / weapons together.. so not a good comparison...

anyone who has pretty good aim can play all modes, but if you wanna shine as really top player you need that little adaption to switch from mode to mode

yeah im surprised how well its going
guess its the clear focus on tdm only and the good promotion in the beginning
and once ppl see that they can play in matter of minutes they stay
