!votestart required amount for castle fight

[Loedwig]

Why isnt it possible anymore to 2vs2 in castle fight by votestarting?
atm minimum of 8 players is required so its a forced 3vs3 because of the amount of open slots.
Id suggest votestart to be possible at 2-4 players or else host another game with 2vs2 option.

This would likely increase the number of games being played.

2vs2 should be viable, support!

Totally support the implementation of the !votestart command in CF.

I often see people wanna try to use that command, but cant.
And in many cases they end up leaving the game because they dont have the patience to wait abit.

As mentioned it will increases the games being played and as a result CF will become more popular.

@Loedwig @Ziadoma @PrtyPsux I dont agree, the ENT1 bot is 3v3 Castle Fight bot. Just as ENT64 is the 1v1 CF bot all the stats & scores is based of 6 players for each game, to randomly add in uneven teams is a tricky/bad thing. lot of risk of game starting with 3v2 1v3 without red(modemaker) or other things.
So Overall adding votestart is a bad idea IMO.
I personally do however miss the ability to !votekick people in lobby tho for several reasons. Main one beeing afk/mute/new red, beeing able to vk toxic/ruiners too is a +, ofc this can be missused aswell and is probably a reason why it was removed.

About adding a 2v2 bot, IDK why not, however at the moment were trying to get a 1200+ bot aswell and that dont look like its happening so the chances for us to get a 2v2 bot is very slim. but if it get approved I woudlnt get sad


IMO about this votestart thing, its mostly used by new/clueless players that just join games and type !vs cuz game didnt start in 15 sec then leave.
ofc not all do this but mostly see random votestarting votes from new people. Some understand when its explained to them that if they want to play with smaller teams or another setup there is other bots or they can host CF themselves.


Props for making the topic tho,

+? 2v2 bot

- votestart

@wTc[JediMaster] You are right the idea about a 2vs2 would be nice, but it cant be done with the votestart command, because it would mess up the stats. Didnt think about that.

[kasper699]

there should be a vote in lobby to make 2v2 game in the 3v3 bot? so for example when there is only 4 people in lobby a vote can take place and if all 4 members happy to it closes 2 open spots?

since its 2v2 would that still affects the stats? i thought stats worked on avi in each team?

[Ziadoma]

Well then there could be just a 2vs2 bot and all player amounts would be playable.
