Sending out new game PM's

[Shai]

Sending out new game PM's:

• a new game PM should include the details of your new games automatically.

Specifics:

• I think it would be cool if there could be an option to receive a drill down of all my open games so as to make it easier to invite people, something like a table that has all the map details, players that have already joined, and of course the pw...
  
  I'll take it up with the mods

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• I think it would save server time cause PM writing would be faster. It would be easier to send out invites to new games, and it would be easier to see who joined, the game settings etc. Especially useful for PM tournament games!

An auto join system for Tournament games is being worked on. And I'm not sure what data you need about your other games?

I just sent out a multiple PM to guys to join a map and no one (including myself) noticed it's freestyle...
This way I could create 10 new games and easily invite all the mates to join the ones they like.

so basically, a link to a game finder search with your waiting games?

I was more in the idea of a PM with a concrete list of details in a table form, even possible to incorporate multipule radio buttons for joining many games at once (No need for a password if someone joins from a PM)
something like:
"Hey guys, Join my open games:

Classic, 8 player, freestyle, no cards, no fog - have joined - shai, inonzuk, blakebowling - waiting for 5 players -pw hello

Age of merchants, 6 player, freestyle, escalating, no fog - have joined - shai,, blakebowling - waiting for 4 players -pw hello

good luck"

and then add radio buttons and click join all...

So you want to send out a PM inviting someone to your games, not just informing them about them?

the radio buttons wouldn't work with the current system because each game you use is a seperate php function.

[Shai]

exactly, the important part is not just informing them, but also giving the details of the games in an easy to read format...
the technology can wait , but it would still just simplify the inviting to open games procedure, i think...

I still don't get what he's asking for... What do you need to know? Game type? Number of players? Fog, yes or no? Map? All this can be found out though the game number... And we have the Game tags, so... If you want to include all the information in the pm, just copy and paste.

but when you copy and paste it comes out messy i think...
I want people to be able to view the game details from the PM, so they don't have to look at every game...
I want something similar to searching for open game with shai in them and then you choose which to join...

right, just a BBcode tag that would input your username, and the awaiting game function into a link.

That's not exactly what I meant, but it would do the trick..
Ju\st trying to simplify the process of creating 15 new games, then PMing everyone and then for each game the player has to reenter the same password. I mean, most players do provide the game data when PMing games, this would just format the procedure...

[donovan THE DARK]

you can make join game links

Code: Select all

[url]http://conquerclub.com/player.php?mode=join2&submit=Join&game=(Game Number Here)&password=(Password Here)[/url]

[Shai]

well, first of all, didn;t know about that URL, looks useful! thanks!
right now what I do is copy and paste into excel all my open games, then design it in excel and copy back to the message.
It isn't that bad, I just thought it would make life easier

[blakebowling]

you can do that, but if you copy the details from the awaiting games screen, they should stay formatted correctly (Just don't take out ANY of the spaces)

[Shai]

This is the result of copy pasting - not that bad I admit...
I guess lack has more important things to do... my suggestion can definetly wait...

it's not a bad idea, but it's all giving me a headache

Yeah, it's a secret strategy I use in order to get an edge in our games
