    After far too long, KAG gather is back! And now for Release KAG!

    For those of you who haven’t played or heard of gather before (when it was running for classic KAG), gather is an easy way for people to play competitive style games without needing a clan, or the organization of a clan war. Players add to a queue, and when enough players are in the queue a game is started for those players.

    For rules and how to play, visit the gather social forum here. (you must part of this group in order to use the links to threads within the group) New players should visit the how to play thread for simple steps to get started

    The gather game-mode currently uses tickets and generator maps. If anyone wants to suggest or discuss improvements to the game mode or a new game mode suggest it here or discuss it in IRC. More information on the current game mode can also be found on this thread.

    Thanks to all the people who helped making and testing, including server hosts Leo for EU server, LucasTT for initial work on the bot and Gurin lots of help testing as well as everyone else that participated in test games.

    If you want to play, read the links below for rules and how to play.

    Problems happened. The bot wasn't recognizing a vote for the US servers, and the EU server crashed.
    US votes are now recognized, will have to wait for leo to fix the EU server.

    EU server is now back up

    Mistakes were made, data was lost, everyone will have to re-link their kag and irc accounts

    Great job cameron (and all others involved in any way)! Gather was so much fun in Classic, can't wait for a round in release.

    I never thought KAG experience could ever be so brilliant when I was playing randoms.
    Now, with gather, my life is so much more colorful!

    seriously though

    Oh please no.
    Tickets are the only thing that keeps gather from being glorified pub matches

    So far my gather experience has consisted of me getting final kill and winning our match by killing @Potatobird with a catapult, which was shot out my personal trampoline cannon.



    Come play with us all sometime :)

    I added tickets to limit the length of the game, while not just having an anticlimactic timer ending the match, I think the tickets are the best and simplest way to do that.

    We now have a guide to joining and playing that should be helpful for new players thanks to Gurin!
    https://forum.kag2d.com/threads/guide-to-playing-gather.22705/

    Also, a new announcement thread where I will post updates to the bot and servers https://forum.kag2d.com/threads/kag-gather-announcment-thread.22715/#post-330072

    We've already had plenty of awesome moments with the last stands, I'd be sad to see tickets go.

    Never disable tickets, really, what makes you think it would be better?

    Because then there would be a normal game instead of a WW1 battle with both teams having a big ass tower popping arrows at anyone in the middle till everyone is dead

    There is definitely problems with stalemates occurring, will try to improve this without removing tickets though
