"/announce" command for tournament hosts

I think every (known/good mannered/w.e) tournament director should have a temporary option to announce, lets say from 3 days prior to the tournament. This could attract way more people than the standard advertisements

obviously the person should be instructed and given all the how to's and do not's, for example:
do not announce often than every 2 hours (with the exception to 1 hour before the tournament)
the messages should not be longer than 50 characters

whatever whatever. Its a functionality that nobody (other than lightbringer advertising his games) is using and i think we're missing on that.
obviously abusing or breaking the advertiser code should be punished

iL, you russian wombat, respond now!

they should just change the banner in the lobby to whatever the next upcoming tournament/ league is instead of seeing a useless banner with a grunt and a catapult.

that works too, yes.

faggots keep crying how the game is dying and they do absolutely nothing to keep it alive, so much wasted potential (banners and announce are prolly just a tip of the iceberg)

Agree.

I don't see any problems to give /ann for tournament director, we have such practice.
Same as /topic changing.
I have no idea why nobody asks that for the last time.

I always appreciate social activity and ready to give you all you need for that.
Of course if you are well-known person and if it's really required for that activity, not as just the way to show your power to others.

About announcement length and frequency: yes, just any rational numbers, not every 5 min and the 5 lines of text. Try to make the message as short as possible depend on announced information. And 2 hours would be optimal, i think. But i even don't insist on exactly 50 characters and 2 hours limit.

I've also recommend to use the given features for the given purpose only. /ann given for tournament should be used for tournament. Exceptions are possible, of course.

I have plans for upgrade and reconfig server also: there would be sort of limited /ann for 1 channel only.
Banners changing are in the nearest plans also.

Welcome to our team with your offers!

Can you draw something better? Or maybe anybody else?
Are there any designers here? Maybe we can ask mousey (we is she?)
I could change that banner to anything else. Just note, that it it will be probably no more than 256 colors and a picture in smk format.

I really think about several different banners for the server soon. Just need to make some tests before that.

/ann is able to reach people who are currently off in games, which is good. For it to be useful it needs to be able to do that. If there's a way to give it to people when they are running a tournament without having to make them admins, that would be cool

Well, you could leave current one as 'default'. As for tournament banners, any white text + black background can do i guess

Sure, you can type /cg 3 for the required user. 1 for common commands and 2 for +/ann.

I'll think how to optimize command groups to make it more flexible

Just checked that:
SMK only for war2.
Dimension is 468x60.
And total palette colors to use: 64

You can use "Smacker Tools" to make smk.
You can even make animated banner using it!
