I'll make a movie about the community in #spontan.games, since CTF is crazy fun and everyone should !add up.

If you want to appear in the movie as the fragger instead of the victim, upload your demos now! I will include everyone if the frag is quality stuff.

I'm on irc as wariprioritaet or stradiwari, in #spontan.games!

So I started already with my demos, and I need yours as well. Here are the rules:

- Upload it using megaupload! Just klick the browse button.
When the upload is finished, you'll get a link, send me that link and I get the demo.

- Only demos from ctf, only from #spontan.games matches.

- Upload a rar or zip with your nickname as the file name.

- Please write the times of the shots in the demo file name.


So get crackin and upload your shots! That's all you have to do.

I'm taking suggestions to music as well, just leave a comment.

Heya everyone,

I once said here that I could write a system that calculates player skill and puts them into skillgroups, and never delivered.
I just played 20 completely senseless minutes of pickup ctf and I am bugged enough to actually write the system, so my question to you is:

How would you calculate the players ctf skill?

Take my MAXstats page from spontangames for example. What I would do is divide the score by the total number of games played for that month. This way all the points awarded are calculated and not only the frag points like MAXstats does to get player efficiency.

For me that would look like this: 1+5+10+5+1+9 = 31
1387/31 = 44.7419
For a top player like kane this is 2784/49 = 56.8163
Or abso: 895/12 = 74.5833

Checkbert thinks the maxstats data is somehow wrong and I can't use the numbers since abso never finishes a game with less then 100 points. He seems right but I can't say exactly. What I need in the end is a high number for the people who are really good and don't play all the time.

So when the efficiency is calculated, the players are being put into these groups:
Top, good, average, poor, newbie
So when 10 players are added in the channel, the bot calculates the skill for each player and creates balanced teams automatically. Hopefully this will bring more exiting games for everybody.

I just heard poison by prodigy again here.

I immediately remembered an awesome gaming vid, but I can't remember the title. It was one of the best videos.

I'm pretty sure it was in a trickjump video, but I am not sure. All I remember is that the movie was put perfectly to the song. And it was awesome!
