New Game Tags

Alright, you all get to be the special ones to start out the new Game Tags. Twill only wants these to be used by Tournament Organizers, so we're going to use a trickle-down effect. I'm posting it here for you deputies. It will then be spread to the Tournament Organizers forum. If anyone asks you about them, feel free to explain it to them, but it's not going to receive a headline or possibly even a forum announcement. So here's what it is:

Try out

Code: Select all

[TO]12345 password[/TO]
and you will get

View Game 12345 (Auto-Join Game)

The first part of the tag works just like the current game tag, while the parentheses use the password to automatically join the game. Notice the tag says "TO". Also notice that there HAS to be a space between the number and the password. The regular game tags are still available for use, but this is an upgraded version.

Enjoy.

I'm trying it right now, and it doesn't seem to be working for me.

If I click auto-join, it tells me it's the wrong password. But if I do it manually, it works. :?

It's called reiterating.

I'm paging Twill on messenger.

Excellent. Let's see how far it leaks just from them using it before we pass it out to more.

Yep, that's how Twill told me to do it.

Did you tell them not to leak it?

Twill has designed a new forum tag that has been specifically designed to aid tournament organizers. This new tag allows you to include both the game number (to view the game) and an auto-join link.

Code: Select all

[to]1234567 password[/to]
will give you
View Game 1234567 (Auto-Join Game)

Be sure to note the space between the game number and the password. Passwords with spaces should still work as well. Please try this new tag out and use it in your PMs if you would like to. As of right now, this tag is not going to get a forum announcement. Instead, it's being leaked out slowly. Feel free to use it and answer questions about it if people ask you, but please don't go around publicizing it. Thanks for all your hard work.

Both MEK and Marfski have had troubles with this.

I gave them 4 games with the same PW and it worked for one and not the others.

Bart was clicking on the number instead of the Auto-Join text. Perhaps that's the case.

The new game tags works well for me.

Every player joined their games by clicking on the " Auto-Join Game" text.

Just wanna let you know :P
