New Team Gameplay

The game creator can enable team passwords. After that it IS the first member of each team. Not sure how you got another team could change the option out of my post but that wasn't in there :)

But what if game creator doesn't enable passwords, and the first player of the next team wants to, so no second to last player unwanted situations happen? Many users would avoid those games afraid of a new player joining, but probably newbies wouldn't, and that could create a new niche of farming, with little to no fun for newbies and potentially losing users for the site.

The more complicated the game types that are implemented, the more farming will occur. No matter what, getting experience at a rare game type = points and rank. Can't avoid that.

Forget passwords. I think if the 'choice' option is selected then the game should become invite only. You can only join the team of the player who invited you or join a team that doesn't have players yet. It's not hard to get an invite. Just put it in the chat. Hey cbt711 can I join your team? Send me an invite.

Works for me, I like it

Vexer's idea seems very good to me.

[quote=tontot - Jul 30, 09:16 AM]I agree with MuzuaneAskari. There should be an option to choose the team other than joining by orders as of now[/quote] Please note both team games and the join game tab are not ready jet. The only reason join order exists (note that it is called "[i]choice[/i]" is because we want choice but we don't have the interface yet for choosing numbers) [quote=tontot - Jul 30, 09:16 AM]- Start Game (auto select within 30 seconds) - Leave Game [/quote] This will not work in long term games where ppl join once and don't look again untill the game pops up in their turns list. I won't make things that work for live games only. [quote=cbt711 - Jul 30, 01:00 PM]This is just mean to throw in, but I'm returning the favor to Matty and Vexer for remaking my map 20+ times ^^ :[/quote] By all means do, I'll love you for it. [quote=cbt711 - Jul 30, 01:00 PM]On the create game page, team options (gray if not a team game): Team numbers: Pairs, Triads Team Selection: Random, Join Order, Select. Team passwords: None, Set by first team member Invite function then modified to include 'invite to team', with the same whose online functionality, this bypasses team passwords. [/quote] Join Order will dissapear completely, we will have random, balanced by points (wip) and choice (or select if you like). You have a good point on the team-invite or team password. However, I would like the creator to be able to decide who is allowed to join his game, regardless of the teams. So that will be either a double invite (one for game, one for team) or a double password :S Vexer's idea will disable the latter, but not solve the first. (Other option: password (game) and invite (team) or vice versa. Also @Vexer: I want to be able to allow a choice game that everyone can just join. Even if it's just to be able to start a live game at a time few ppl are online. So some good points and ideas here, but to me theres no clear solution yet.

How about splitting choice into two. 1. Invite 2. Choice Invite: The creator sends out invites to all the players s/he wants to play with (no passwords needed or allowed). Those players can see a list of whose is invited and invite any number of them to join their team. If their favorite teammate is not invited then they can ask the creator to invite them. This can be done in the chat although an invite request feature would be nice for long term games. [spoiler=Coding note] These invites would need to be different than the current invites which get deleted when closed.[/spoiler] Choice: A player can choose any open slot on any team. You can switch teams at anytime by leaving and rejoining. That last player to get a teammate can potentially get screwed. Can set a minimum points required to avoid getting really screwed.

I have a few remarks: [list] [li]This will require a rewrite of the invite system, so it'll take some more time[/li] [li]Should a game creator be able to invite ppl into a team (not nescessary his own) right away?[/li] [li]I think everyone should be able to invite ppl (from the creators invite list) in the team, not just the first one to join (team captain)[/li] [li]Do we need to be able to edit invites?[/li] [/list]

Wait does team FOW work yet? :) just curious...

I believe I fixed that bug like a week ago yes.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Matty is great. :)

Yeah lets enable the game creator to invite to any team just to make sure the game can start even if a team members are lazy about inviting someone who will actually join. "I think everyone should be able to invite ppl (from the creators invite list) in the team, not just the first one to join (team captain)" I'm fine with that. I think editing invites will be necessary. I also think that an invited player should be able to remove themselves from the list so that they don't get invites from the other players.

Just played a team FOW game. SCREW YOU VOTA GG. *ahem* Anyways, it was fun! Matty is great. :)

There is something a little annoying in team games. That if there is anything in the team chat, and you refresh the page, it shows as if something new was added. The red outline appears by the team chat, even though nothing new was written.
