ENT Gaming

I was just speaking to uakf.b on B.net and figured I would post my ideas here for clarity. I do not know if it is possible or not to make my suggestions work as I am not a coder and have no knowledge with bots, but if they can be made reality, it would only help.

Online/Offline Players
Have one or two of the bots split the list of vouched players and constantly (or every 15 minutes) cycle through the list and check who is online. The information would then be relaid to the website and display for people to see. This way people can know who is online and actually message them to try and get a game going. Not everyone is going to always hang out in the channel and wait, so it would increase the possibility of games being played.

EIHL Activity Intervals
It won't be as accurate now, but it would be a good idea to have the bots record the average amount of games played during certain time intervals (every hour). This way, players know when they will have the best opportunity to play games and when they should log on and wait. This feature combined with the online player feature would greatly increase activity.

Condense All Information To One Page

In relation to this, http://clanent.net/openstats/?statsmode=eihl

On that page, you should have a segment dedicated to the above suggestions like you do top players. So there should be a column that will list the information about activity. Another column that lists all online players. By providing all the information in one area, you make it easier for the player base to get what they need.

I had more ideas when I tried to get the interim-T3 league started for DotaCash, but I can't remember them right now and I no longer have access to my threads in the staff forums. I will share them when they come back to me.

I think new !active command works now.

You can see the activity script at http://clanent.net/eihlactivity.php
This is linked to from http://clanent.net/ihl (the main EIHL information topic).

Yeah. That activity thing is sweetness! A+

Why does the game activity list only do the last two weeks though?

I figure it's enough. Active times might vary, say over winter and stuff, so yeah.

Yeah, but it would be activity by season. Anyway though, the !active command doesn't show every player that is online. It says there are 17 online, but only like 9 show up? Not sure why that is.

Also, it might be cool to add a !msgactive command or something where the bot will message everyone online to come play EIHL games! Only allow the message to be used once every 5-10 minutes though so no one can use it to spam players. Or just limit the people who are mature enough to use the command.

There is maximum that will show up, write multiple times to get fuller list.

Make EIHL work through ENTConnect and that we can sign through like an IRC or something so people like me and spreet dont have to spend that young $10 for a copy of wc3.

CAN WE NOT ALLOW ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNTS? IT RUINS THE BALANCING ASPECT AND IS PRETTY STUPID TO LET PEOPLE HAVE MORE THAN 1 NAME VOUCHED!

Especially when this is for money.

agreed. Multiple accounts shouldn't be allowed.

Multiple accounts are not allowed. Report multiple account usage to moderators.

I don't see a point of migrating the chat to something other than Battle.net and then using ENT Connect, most serious players have a legitimate copy of Warcraft III and doing so would make coordination more difficult.

Moving to archive since most of these have been implemented. For further suggestions make new topics.
