and I'm deeply sorry!

 

won't happen again, i was giving out 1h bans to spectators refusing to leave. By a stroke of bad luck, berlusconi was the first i banned.

SORRY!

[Digglez]

wonder if it is possible to have more than 1 main character? like having an alt named 'PRESSPASS_Billybob' that would be allowed to join strategus battles and admins would know that person has permissions from devs to spec and rebroadcast

If you are recording a battle talk with admins first, to make sure they won't kick you. If you don't, it's your fault.

[KingKessler]

next super admin

check server logs if you re "mighty" enough to do it. i cant do more than saying it twice.

thanks for the apology. but well, i am still banned

[Thovex]

It was 1 hour Kessler.

In defense to the admin, I didn't read that you were recording. I'm not saying you didnt say anything, but there was a lot of spam in chat so maybe he didn't as well. And he apologized after doing it.

We're working on a system to allow some people to join a "recorder" group so they can spectate battles however they please. Stay tuned.

in all honesty, i think it would be better if battles could be passworded with a secret password known only to the battling factions.

PW could be communicated in battle-message.

Would be more flexible, and also automatically get rid of random spectators and people not reading the battle-messages.

You're F'ing with me, right? I'm assuming you're being sarcastic, but just because I've seen people do things that I considered too stupid for people to ever do, I'll go ahead and mention that there is a password given to battling factions communicated in the battle message.

Actually, after reading your first post in this thread, I was going to bring up why the hell admins never just password the server like that whole thing is set up for. Then kick all the specs. Hell, if you don't want to waste time kicking specs, you could just password the appropriate server a few minutes before the battle starts. If a faction hired a recorder, they could be given the pass. And one of the devs said that they actually implemented a system to where the password is taken off after the battle is over so you don't even have to unpassword it (assuming that system actually works).

[Thomek]

Dehitay!

Chill pls.

1. The password is currently AFAIK communicated to everyone who clicks on the battle in the website. Not just to people accepted.
2. Also, not all battles have admins present.
3. I've read about that as well. But in my experience, It is not safe to test something "supposed" to work the first time, and especially not on a big battle like this was. So I decided to do it manually. I.ex we admins had the server reset function for 6+ months, but It never worked for me. Once I tried to change a map, and the server was automatically reduced to 60 players only. Had to call on irc to fix it. (So, yes as u said, I didn't want to simply assume that system actually works)

[KingKessler]

So with whom do I have to talk regarding the next battle?
