    If you guys want incentive to hold the middle, go play TTH. ;)

    So far Zen has had 4 clan wars in total and in all of them we held middle which led to our victory in all 4 of them. holding middle gives you that advantage and allows you to walk kegs shorter distances to the enemy base. all in all its a very smart thing to do getting the middle.

    I have a question, is the KAG Gather site still being used? So far every time I joined, my experience ended up in seeing a bunch of people idling with no ongoing games.

    I'm asking 'cause i generally like the idea of an organized match and getting to talk to new people, but i don't have the time to invest in a more serious format like clans...

    No, Gather stopped quite a long time ago now. I think a lot of people just never took the irc channel off autojoin. There is talk (hushed whispers) of bringing it back for release KAG, but that requires lots of people to put in lots of work coding a new bot, creating a new gamemode and hosting servers for it.

    I think finding an appropriate custom gamemode for release kag is probably the biggest hurdle, as you can bet noone will agree on the rules.

    People are making these gamemodes way too difficult rules and stuff. It should be a very simple and fast game.

    Biggest problem is that there are no active clans around. Beta's been around for months and there've been like 10 clanwars in total. That's not because there is no good gamemode.

    Too bad, I was hoping for some organized casual 6v6s like on TF2 lobby for example. Guess we'll have to wait if Kag grows in popularity. :O

    Gather would be an ideal format for comp play in KAG imo, I don't know that anyone's ported it to beta but they totally should if not. Gather neatly avoids people being too lazy/busy/whatever to organise clans, they just have to pop into the gather channel and ready up.

    No one seems to join IRC. If you really believe in the gather format, you could ask jrgp to make an account based gather system the way he made it for soldat..

    It's not that hard to join IRC, and when Gather started on Classic, a lot of people who wanted to play gather started to join IRC. And there are many IRC people who are good at beta already.

    I'll mention it to joe and see what he says, he's probably honestly the most likely person to get it done.

    >implying I haven't already ninja'd all of you

    But yeah, that's what I basically meant here:
    I've already talked to jrgp and I'm supposed to send him a list of features. Which I haven't done yet due to exams on university but will do ASAP next Saturday or so when I'm over with exam sesh.

    If anyone is looking for a match, Last Kings has about 10 very active members and a few less active members. We have been whoring posts all over forums for teams to play against but without much luck. We can do 5v5 CTF, hell we could even do a TTH match if someone wanted to. PM me or Hero if anyone is interested.
