Hosting a game

SlayerQC · Post by **SlayerQC** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 8:22 pm

I try to find games with people close to my rank. (cadet/private)
Seems that most are super good players.
When I actually find a game where its mostly cooks, cadets, privates, privates first class and corporal, the players that follow are usually much stronger
Makes joining an even game quite difficult.

So, if I host a game, is it possible to choose/control who I let in or not?
ill be a cook in no time if I cant figure out how to play with people with somewhat similar skills.
It's not all about winning but when you know you dont stand a chance, one might lose interest of the game quite fast and go back to play with friends on the actual board game.

Can someone answer my question please?

start a private password protected game and invite people through PM... simple enough...-0

No, that idea has been proposed and rejected more times than people can count. This would or could lead to abuse by either higher ranked players, who do not want to risk points, or lower ranked players who want to win every game.

ahhh, thats too bad.

The good always has to suffer because of the scum

Couldnt there be limitations?
Like, those who could join be only 3 to 4 rank above or under the host rank?
If they are within those limitations then they couldnt be booted?
wouldnt that eliminate the abuse?

you are talking about starting a private game. nobody can join unless you PM them and give them the number and password. you aren't going to have random people hopping into your "hosted" game.-0

yup!
But I meant for non-passworded games.
It's all good, ill do it your way, its just more work.

and if someone gives the pass to a way-up-there warrior, we will simply all team up on him.

Ive sent about 10 invites to privates and cadets, hopefully thats enough for five of them to join.

If you can find a fairly decent doubles player then you can set up a few private games on your favorite maps and favorite settings. I personally think it is the fastest way to get your rank up and also meet some pretty good teams. You can also post in the callouts forum for your games and have people pm you for the password. Hope that helps.

That actually helps a lot!
Ive spent some time on the forums but I mainly play and I always multitask so I havent quite figured out all the forums yet.

That callout forum seems like a freaking good place for my needs!
Thanks!
