The source has always been available, it's up to date as well: https://github.com/550/tf2ib It's pretty messy though, I will eventually have the time and clean up the code at some point.

#20, you must be kidding right? When I'm gonna be done with all the features there will be only one active channel. I never wanted to have 2 channels in the first place, 3 makes even less sense.

The bot has issues but they are minors compared to the very first prototype we had in #tf2.pug.

I will explain later why I think people should play in #tf2mix over #tf2.pug.na when I will have more time to write about that. As for updating http://atf2.org I will do it tomorrow but it might not update your cookies if you have already logged in. Just type /j #tf2mix and it will join the channel.

So far I have no deadline for Chicago servers, the sooner the better but in order to do that I have to rewrite the demo/stats uploader. I would like to rent a dedicated Chicago server but I do not have enough money to do it.

Tonight I would be ready to beta test the launch of the #tf2mix channel. This is a new channel which will be running the bot that has a system with two waves. The reason why I am starting a brand new channel is because I don't want to have Java-B or Aristotle over my head telling me what to do. I tried my hardest to work with these guys and 2 months later I first introduced them to the new bot system they are still not running it.

I invite you guys to join #tf2mix on Gamesurge and also to join the Steam group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tf2mix

We have a fully dedicated Dallas server to launch the channel with 4 TF2 servers on it.

dave is a dedicated player, he's a good pickup in my opinion since he has the right attitude to help you go to the next level.

#11, the case where the bot is slow to message you happens when it's a random team PUG going on. It used to be instant but I removed this. It was somewhat confusing because when the teams are randomly drafted they can be scrambled and won't be the same. At least it should send a message with some instructions to let you know what to do.

fog, he's the man.

I think too that Aristotle should give up the channel.

I think Aristotle disrespected pingu when he refused to transfer the ownership to him. I can estimate how many hours pingu invested himself in the channel and it's a lot of time. The sad part is, Aristotle think he's a clever dude and will often tell you the reason why he refused to give the ownership to pingu. Because he thinks it's too much power for one person. His argument is invalid since, he has that full power and he's just one person.

I got to deal with Aristotle for various projects over the last year and it was mostly painful. The guy doesn't have much of a clue when you ask him to execute things. I guess it's kinda fine since he's not lying about it, he will tell you that he's not a technical person. But then, he has to be competent being an admin or being a leader. Making sure things are well managed and people are happy. It's sadly not the case. It makes him useless. Even worst, he's disruptive most of the time. He's way too strict, his bans are too frequents and way too long.

If Aristotle got the position he has at the moment it's because he was a friend with Annuit. I don't think he ever earned it.

If we are about to replace him for real I have a good vibe about Fog. I also think pingu (if he wants to) would be a good candidate too. The head admins over #tf2.pug.nahl are impressive too, I got to play in their channel and play with them and I trust them. They are building something from scratch and it's getting there, I feel they are onto something.

One last thing, lately I invested myself to run an experiment in the #tf2.pug.na channel. I worked around 60 hours on my old bot to have a different picking system. My motivation was driven by the idea of improving things for everybody. I worked quite hard. This experiment would require a 2-3 days of testing in an active channel. What I got is one quick test that immediately crashed. We then set a date to run it during the weekend, they started one game and they quickly shut the bot down after 15 minutes down the experiment. Aristotle suggested me to test my things in #tf2.pug (a dead channel). I tried my best to argue with the guy but in the end, if he chose to not run the experiment he got the final word no matter how good my points are. Personally I feel let down, I invested so much time and money for this free to play PUG system. The least I would expect is some trust and recognition when it comes to small things like that. That's one other reason why I think Aristotle is a burden to this community. He won't even trust me on what we can do and how.

It's ironic to think that PapaSmurf would keep these two users banned. Yet, during the first meeting on Mumble, when I did give up the the channel, there has been one guy that was louder than the others against his work as an admin: defy.

Nice guy, dedicated player, he's a good pickup.

Roody has good experience on medic, I think he's a great pickup for a team who's looking.

That was a cool video for sure. Do you have any idea how to get those graphics? His game looks so clean.

I think clockwork went ahead and posted his picture on reddit.

What is the difference between this and QL? I like QL a lot so I might be interested to join the group.
