EDIT:

The channel has been created. If you're familiar with a software IRC client, go to #hawkenscrim on irc.quakenet.org - if not, go here: http://webchat.quakenet.org/ - pick a name and join "#hawkenscrim" without the quotation marks.

A good guide to get you started with basic setup using mIRC


Hi everyone,

I'd like to poll for interest in setting up a #hawkenscrim channel on an IRC server (a live chatroom). The purpose of this channel will be like many other games' #xxxxxscrim channels, which is essentially for players at the competitive level to idle in, and respond to requests for ringers/scrims.

For those who have not experienced this kind of system before, it allows for all players to be accessible in a unified place. Let's say someone wishes to get a scrim going, but their team only has 3 people online. They put up an open call for ringers. Anyone who is in the channel who happens to be available/want to play, can respond to this to fill the spots. After having a full team, the organizer can then put out a call for another group of 5 to play against.

Now, the keystone to all of this is the availability of players. If such a channel were to be created, would we have enough people idling in the channel to make it worthwhile_ Additionally, seeing that taking a server over at this point is rather difficult, is this something that would even be viable before we have private servers_

I for one would like to see this start to take shape, since even without private servers, it would make joining a game that is predominantly filled with seasoned players that much easier. In-game friendslists are great and all, but still limited by who you've met before/associated with. This would provide a secondary place for the competitive "scene" to congregate.

TLDR:
#hawkenscrim irc channel
-Do we have enough people to make it worthwhile_
-Is it worth doing before we have private servers_

Grammar fuzzy bunny says, "Stop capitalizing random words."

Honestly though I'd love an IRC channel, even now. It's more hassle to organize a scrim at the moment, but anyone who logs on the channel should understand that.

You fuzzy bunny. Stealing my thread idea.

In all seriousness, however, an IRC would be good. It's not too hard to coordinate scrim servers atm. Just gotta be patient with scrubs that join the MM game and ask them to leave.

Sounds great to me, but it would indeed be tough without servers.

Agreed that it would be difficult without servers, and seeing that server max size would allow pubbers to slip in may necessitate blockers as proposed in the tourney thread.

That being said, I still think a live chat room in which the competitive community can congregate would allow for quicker growth. When I was first attempting to get in to the competitive scene I had a pretty difficult time getting to know people. I pretty much had to arbitrarily add people from the forums. An IRC channel would allow for free agents to ring for teams and develop rapports with different groups without having to stick their necks out, so to speak.

Then pls make it and put a link in the OP. Cause I have no idea how to do that. Maybe ask for a sticky in the clan hall.
