I joined the #tribespickup IRC and went into the Teamspeak on Wednesday and last night. It didn't seem like there was anything going on. Are PUGs not a nightly thing or am I doing something wrong?

I think wednesday night was a night off since everyone had scrims going on till 12am and people were getting tired early. Usually its a nightly thing.. so try again this evening.

I skimmed through it and don't think I saw anything about pickups starting. I also looked in the Teamspeak and didn't see anyone in the PUG channels. Maybe I'm just being stupid and doing something really wrong. EDIT: Now I definitely think I'm doing something stupid.

Re: PUG (Pick-Up-Game) Guide

Just in case, probably already said.

For EU pickup/ scrimms

IRC

quakenet

channels #tamixed

we have a match bot, that commands are

!status - displays status of current match, amount of sign ups and also sub spaces

!add - add your name to the list

!del - remove yourself from the list

Regardless of experience you can add yourself to list, just make sure you have head set for the mumble channel. On game time, move to the channel on mumble, wait for captains to be picked and to be given a team.

Its an active channel, so if you are part of the EU mixed clan, ask in there for help.

Also, if you sign up and dont turn up for a match, it will result in a day ban from scrimms.

Pugs don't start until late late. When I go back to work, definitely won't be able to do them.

Re: PUG (Pick-Up-Game) Guide

EU scrims tend to run through out the day and evening

evenings they kick off quicker after ladder matches etc.

Also because we use the eu KaosBot, if you sign up and are whitelisted, and one of the 16, you will get to play regardless of skill.
