I started the
#tremulous.pickup channel on
Quakenet because personally I am bored with public games, and I don't think that I'm the only one. Some of the negative things about playing in the usual public games is that it's hard to cooperate with the rest of the team. And there are always some idiots that just wants to ruin everything. That's not the only downsides, I'm sure that you can come up with alot more.
The reason that I like matches, is that you get a completely different feeling compared to public games. For example the adrenaline rush early in a game when you play as aliens. When you see that all of the marines are marching against your base. And then your whole team of dretches groups up, and storms the attackers as a pack. Leaving no traces of the humans left. In other words, It's easier to coordinate attacks and really work as a team. That's where tremulous really shines!
The other reason for starting the channel, is that the team that I'm playing in
(#teardrop) are always looking for other teams to play against. But there's few active, and that makes finding opponents really difficult. I hope that #tremulous.pickup will help with this problem. Because I want to believe that if more people gets a shot at playing matches instead of public games, some of them will become interested in playing in teams.
So basically
#tremulous.pickup is a place where players can meet others and play in mixed teams. If your interested you just need to join the channel, and show that your interest in taking part in a game. After enough players have signed up, two are choosen to be team leaders. They will each take turns in picking one player for their team. And when everyone has been selected it's time for the showdown.
Finally I just want to say that if there's any questions feel free to talk to me. Send a private message on the forum, or visit our channel, See you there!
