    So all I've heard is some rumors from people in mumble and Geti mentioning it in this latest announcement. Does anyone know anymore about it, i.e when it's going to come out, if it will be like classic or not. Thanks

    @cameron1010 has been working on this, and it has had a few test runs by us Australians. It's really good fun, though I haven't played classic Gather so I can't compare the two. I'll let Cam elaborate further.

    ^ If you idle on #kag.gather you might be able to test it out with us.

    1. I don't know when it will be coming out, I was trying to finish it last week (in my mid semester break), but there was still too much work left to do, and now I have uni assignments to do. ::(:
    2. It should be quite similar to classic. At the moment, its got tickets, generator maps and no locked classes (those are most of the asked questions I can think of) but things may change as problems become apparent (i.e. if 5 archers spamming bomb arrows becomes a dominant strategy maybe I will cap classes (but I'm not too concerned about that unless it actually starts happening)) ::):

    edit: I have also made water stun your own team when they are hit by it:water_arrow::water_bomb:

    Haven't done much work on it, been busy with assignments. ;(
    My exams will finish in about a month, so if I don't get enough time to do it before then, that's when I'll be doing it.

    Awh yes, this was really great in Classic, hope to see it working just as well in Beta
    It would extremely useful for me and a group of players for general competitive practice and surely some good fun
    We really appreciate your work!

    Basically players gather on the IRC channel and they arrange competitive CTF matches through an IRC bot. The matches will surely be played under specific rules (something similar to the MLK rules perhaps?) and on specific servers, dedicated for the gathers. It's basically like clanwars but with random players: casual competitive fun.

    Ok, then I think it's high time I fix kag:// links.

    @cameron1010 - btw, !link should use authentication (I mean that bot should PM asking you for a KAG2D password or something in order to verify that you're the owner of the account to which you're linking). Or some other way to do that as sending pass isn't really safe. Some website of some sort? API provides means to do so.
