In the absence of a built-in duel detective, I propose using IRC as a means to rapidly find equally skilled duel partners, by having one channel represent each skill level.
The channels could be named in the following manner, or similar:
#1200elo
#1300elo
#1400elo
etc...
So players can idle in the channel(s) they feel they will most likely find worthy opponents and use said channels to request duels by simply stating their preferred locations, "duel de fr uk". Two players in the same channel looking for a decent duel should take a matter of seconds to find eachother.
The idea originally came to me for TDM after seeing many people spam "4v4 high pm" or whatever in a variety of channels. If we had the following channels:
#tdm4v4high
#tdm4v4mid
#tdm4v4low
... and every clan officer joined the channel corresponding to their preferred skill, clan wars could be set up with increased frequency and reduced delay, me thinks. Same could apply to practically every gametype.
Maybe this has been tried before and failed, or maybe specific channels exist for this that I'm not aware of. I apologize in advance if I've just wasted everyone's time.
Whatcha thinks?
