My Warcraft III installation wigged out, and for some reason when I get to TFT it doesn't recognize RoC being installed. So I'm getting the physical installation from my battle.net account. -_-

Pretty bad connection at the moment, all pings over 200, horrible lags and even disconnects.

Hey just a heads up,

I think Hostem is broken. Servedogg in GHost++ said that he hadn't been making games.

Thanks for hosting, btw!!! If it weren't for you, I'd never find games.

YOOOOOOO! What's up?! Anyways...

I'm considering the possibility of "weekly polls" to encourage people to come to the forums and well to add play variation that's okay with peepz!

Some options I have in mind are...

All Pick:
Races are random, people can pick whatever hero they like.

All Random:
Everyone gets a random hero.

Classic:
You may only pick heroes from the race your team is... Races are High Elves vs. United Creep.

Classic Type A:
You may only pick heroes from the race your team is... Races are High Elves vs. Grim Brigade.

Classic Type B:
You may only pick heroes from the race your team is... Races are United Creep vs. Grim Brigade.

Classic Random:
You may only pick heroes from the race your team is... Races are random.

Capture Mode:
Both teams come with only a castle, while all other would-be bases are merely foundations to be claimed that are surrounded by ACTUAL creep.
This mode would come in variations of the settings listed above.

I really don't see the point of this, all the options are there: UD, Creeps, Elves, Orcs (not total yet), and all pick. Why add another confusion to the game that is already hard on newbs?

Too, I sense restrictions spawning from this as well, and those aren't a good thing. :(

Poor Sorlag says he still has no bot access.

Can you track players / games so that we can see that there are 90% less games coming together with capture mode random hero?

Okay, I'm going to put the poll up on Sunday and the Sunday after that the poll will close, and settings will apply, and a new poll will be launched, repeating the process.

Is there anything on the bot that might interfere with my ability to do this (afaik I'm the only person).
This happens to me as well.

You're Canadian. Your ISP is probably Rogers. Rogers clients are known to be unable to join games once in a while. It's the ISP, not you!
Does anyone know if it really is the ISP? I know people in Canada that can join by name every time. Also, it happens all the time, not just occasionally.
I like EotA. Need more be said?

How the hell did "Yak get it up"? <_<

Anyways, the power flicked, the night before last they turned it off from 1am to 3am for the area here for some thing. Electric company has been really at what they were doing. I launched the bots, but I forgot to go on and autohost the them

Gah... I didn't realize "BNLS.exe" went with resetting "explorer.exe". -_-

Should be fixed now.

^This.
"L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-op games. . ." Like L4D promised to hand us new maps, survivors, and zombies? We've seen how that works.

Looks like I caught the last game :)

whoever types the default name should be taken out back and shot. preferably in a place very painful, like a kneecap or shoulderblade.

Its hosting as 'AlI Pick', in all lowercase thats 'ali pick' ali.

While I'm sure he appreciates that the bot is hosted, naming it like this creates this situation:

w/friend: Hey I'm in "eota 5v5 all pick! #xxx", join!!!
/r: It can't be found.
w/friend: game must be bugged. Oh well. lets play other map.

The game looks literally like all, I wouldn't have known it was ali unless I'd read this thread.

yeah the etoa can be annoying, but its still readable. using a capital i to replace an l is just plain stupid. a normal night i usually see about 75-100 games played. tonight i saw about 15 go by. confusing naming that is hard to read defeats the purpose of the bot, as lanthis has pointed out.
