Welcome fellow tankers! This is a quick guide which will teach you everything you need to know about GU league matches, and even more! So, let's start:
General
General
- All matches are held on the HIX map.
- All matches are of CTF type, with two teams: red and purple.
- The duration of the matches is 20 or 30 minutes.
- All matches have at least 4 players.
- Every match is saved in a replay file.
- You need to have asked permission from a guleague admin in order to spawn.
- All teams are even, on rare cases though, one team might have one more player than the other (see below).
- If you've joined as an observer, you'd better use the team chat, unless there is something everybody needs to know (e.g. 2 in should go to general chat, while Do you like cakes?goes to observer chat)
- If two players to join during a match, they have to yell 2 in (which means that 2 players hould join the game) and every player has to agree. Then they should join on their corresponding team and commit suicide once before playing.
- Official matches happen between members of two different teams (e.g. Reptiles face Apocalypse)
- Official matches are recorded in the official guleague site and on this blog.
- Winners are judged by number of flag captures (caps) only, not individual player score.
- After every match, one player has to report its results (including GMT time, teams, score and duration) to a guleague admin.
- Sometimes, a team might request 1 more player, making the game uneven. This is done in order to increase the fun of the game, but happens rarely. Consent of all players is required.
- Fun matches do not have limitations on who can join: There can be players from any team, and, for example, a Reptile might even face another Reptile.
- Fun matches aren't reported (even though they are recorded), they only take place for fun.
- Official and fun matches take place on the official guleague servers. A list can be found at http://www.guleague.org/Servertracker/. Abbreviations are used, such as we offi at brad's 57, which means "We should hold an official match at brad.guleague.org:5157".
- Port 5159 is always used for replays.
