- from the subs list, and if that's already empty:
- up to 2 rating points above the player who you're substituting
Any exceptions have to be accepted by the administrators.

1. The topic always shows current game and number of players.
2. To add yourself to a game: !add tdm or simply !a
3. To check who is already added: !who (!w)
4. To remove yourself from all games: !remove (!r)
5. If you disconnect or leave channel, you will be removed automatically.
6. With 8 players added, the game starts.
The bot will automatically balance the teams. One of the players will post server according to the rules.
Have fun!

Statistics of all games and players are tracked by QLStats.

!lastgame (or !l) tells you when the last game started and who were the players.

!promote tdm makes the bot advertise the game.

!top10 lists 10 best players in the last 7 days when it comes to number of pickups started with them.
Substitutions don't count as started games.

!server (or !s) lets you set a server for the game you are added to.
When the game starts, bot will include server address with the announcement.

!teams takes 8 player names (QL nicks) as arguments and generates balanced teams for that group of players.

You can substitute (replace) a player in last announced pickup and create new auto-teams with the bot.

Usage:
!sub <old player> - replaces the old player with yourself
!sub <new player> - replaces you with the new player
!sub <old player> <new player> - replaces old player with new player

One Pro Subscriber will spawn a server and paste game join link to the channel.
Everyone who added joins the server.
Each player joins the team they were assigned to by the bot.

Server configuration settings:
{"maps":["terminatria","limbus","tornado"],"cvars":{"g_gametype":3,"mercylimit":50,"g_complaintLimit":0,"g_password":"tdm","g_timeoutLen":60,"g_startingAmmo_mg":100,"sv_warmupReadyPercentage":1,"g_timeoutCount":5,"sv_hostname":"www.tdmpickup.eu","premium":0,"timelimit":20,"teamsize":4,"g_teamForceBalance":0,"ruleset":1,"g_friendlyFire":1,"fraglimit":0,"g_dropPowerups":0,"g_damage_mg":4,"g_weaponRespawn":30,"web_location":"18"}}
Copy and import into QL's Start-a-Match to get the desired settings.

General rules:
- Don't be late
- Don't rage quit
- Don't ruin games
- No racism
- Show respect
- Speak English

- After 5 minutes since server link was posted, people who have added but haven't joined server lose their position and anyone can stand-in without being asked to substitute and can't be asked to leave / give slot back to someone who was late.

- Maximum time between 8 players are added and joining server is 10 minutes. If there are no stand-ins to substitute for you, you may be punished for not showing up.

Violating these rules will result in a warning, after that kick or a ban.

If the game is a pickup with captains:
Bot nominates two best players to be captains.
Captains can pummel with 100/100 or use /callvote cointoss to decide who picks first.
Winner gets first pick, loser gets map pick.
Pick order is 1-2-2-1.

Captains are not allowed to resign from the position.
The only exception is if one of the captains is substituted with a !sub command. The bot will choose new captains in this case.

Maps can be chosen from the following pool:

Dreadful Place

Hidden Fortress

Limbus

Purgatory

Ragnarok

Terminatria

Tornado
