Dear dp,

from today on our old and beloved xp channel will change the game, it's finally time for DotA2!


There are some changes for the channel, please take care of them:

• for rule changes look here
  
• the standard mode is -cm
• you dont need 25 games for XP early access anymore
• for the hosting and joining part watch this thread
  
• note that at the moment you still have to be normal member of pickup, thus you still need the validation (might sound crazy, we are working to fix that)

Have fun with the new game and merry christmas to everyone already!

Dear dp,

We are currently discussing about doing some major changes to dp for the launch of DotA 2.
Since we are only a few people with limited time we'd like to ask for your assistance. We are in the need
of a design for a brand new page. Some guidelines to have in mind when doing this;

Edit: We are discussing a completely new page and not a forum. This is why we need assistance with the design.
The page must contain the following:

• A login feature menu
• sidebar
• place for advertisement.
• There should be a navigation which can be easy extended (No special different Buttons for each topic)

If you have any skills regarding design/layouts your help will be much appreciated.
If you wanna answer / contribute => Click here

Dear dp members,

Since we´re on Facebook for some time now, we want you to like us there. We try to keep it up-to-date, so you dont have to check on two pages. I assume you´re using Facebook more often than you use our Dotapickup site. Keep us on track on what you like to see or what you want to change.



Our Facebook Site can found here.



Sincerely,

your dp-team

Dear dp members,


We would like to welcome and congratulate two new members to our admin crew. Trusted Players Fallingdown and Beleidiger have been promoted to admins. Due to their hard input into this community, shown activity and hard dedication they proved to be worthy of being promoted. Hopefully they will raise the admin activity a bit and continue doing a good job.

Be sure to query them on irc and send a lot of private messages here on the forum to them. Send some congratulation messages to Fallingdown and send some to Beleidiger also. Just for the fun of it, spam a lot in their admin threads; here. YES, SPAMMING IS GRANTED! Congratulations and welcome!

Sincerely,

your dp-team

Dear dp members,


It has come to our attention that banned or no longer active users are playing here at dp. Evaders get help from currently active users who add for a game and then simply let evaders join with a similar nick. This ofcourse cannot be tolerated. It is very simple for us to find out which users have been doing this. The reason why we announce this information is because we want you to be able to quit helping evaders before we start handing out bans.

This is probably not much of surprise to you all since most of you know what and who we are talking about. We already have a few people we know have been adding for others. We could've already banned people but it's not more than fair to give users the option to cease actions like this by themselves. We cannot urge people enough to stop this. So, our final warning, stop or you will get banned.

Sincerely,

your dp-team

Dear dp-members,

We, your awesome and handsome dp crew, thought it'd be fun to let the community test their skills against the people who ban them. If you are tired of getting manhandled by certain people all the time, don't miss out on this one-timed chance. You will get the chance to bash the crew, humiliate and rip them apart while the community is watching. Below you will find a riddle. That riddle has an answer. That answer leads to a password protected channel, named #dotapickup.riddle. At 13:00 sunday the 3rd of July we will publish the riddle, remove invite only, put the riddle-password and let the first five people who join the channel play versus the crew. We assure that the riddle is totally solveable, you won't be forced to lie awake at night trying to solve this riddle. You can ofcourse team up with friends and try to solve our riddle, but the more people who know the password the less chance is it that just you will get the chance to play.

Riddle!:
its round but not aways around, its light sometimes, its dark sometimes, its both sometimes, everyone wants to walk on it but only a happy few ever had. what is it? Fastest five people to write "/join #dotapickup.riddle ANSWER" will get to play!

Rules and Information
§) Mode will be played in -rd.
§) Sunday the 3rd of July, 13:00 will the channel be password protected.
§) /Join #dotapickup.riddle password, first five people to join will play the game.
§) Standard dp-rules apply when playing the game.
§) Questions? #dotapickup.help.

So don't miss out on your chance to bash the crew. The prize is ofcourse the honor to get this once in a lifetime chance to play and own the crew. See you on sunday the 3rd. May the smartest and fastest people win!

Sincerely,

your dp-team
