So just a thought, nothing big or important. But have seen plenty of times (and by plenty I mean at least once a month!! Or well kinda often then) where 2 friends want to add4 to a challenge but they only want to get picked if picked together. So I thought since we have the linking system from .euro why not apply it here then.

- Or is it too difficult since it should only apply in a challenge?
- Or is it too pointless since they could just spam "I'm together with..." and hope for the captains not to be assholes that just ignore that?

But as I said, just a thought would make adding with a friend to a challenge a little easier.

Might be better if the two linked guys have the same colour or are in brackets so the cpts can see they would like to play together--> the cpt cant say ooh i didnt see

The cap can choose whoever he wants. That two are togheter doesent necessary mean the captain wants both, does it? I mean, one can be really good and the other just decent.

WARNING STACK AT YOUR OWN RISK

ofc he doesnt has to pick both...

mostly its like "pick both of us together or dont pick us at all" wich should be respected by the caps in my opinion. picking just one is pretty lame then.

well and if 2 really good ppl add in a bad pool here then - the cap with firstpick will pick one of them and the 2nd one is fucked or just picks the other one... dont think there should be any kind of linking in add4.
it just wouldnt be balanced in many cases.

Agreeing with hasu, if u want to be 100% sure of playing together either challenge together or stack in euro.

I always encourage captains to do as they please. It's their challenge. I don't give a dam about who is with who beyond that. Don't add to a challenge if you don't like/know/etc the captains or if you want 100% to be in same team. Pick phase is a strategic one, otherwise I would have just make 5vs5 or 3vs3 or whatever instead of just 2vs2 rest alternating.

This system is unique to xp and works very well. It's the best balance between playing with a friend and picking your team from a pool.

The only thing I will change in future it will be about the duration of a challenge from !accept to !start (aka automatic start depending on some factors). People sometimes wait even 30 min after some moody players and end up not picked, etc.

Well what I meant witht the suggestion wasn't to make a way for 2 players to be together no matter what but more like Vibezz said at first that there came a like + between them or colors so the captain could see they want to be picked together but can still chose to ignore it if they want to (be inconsiderate). But I think most will respect the "pick us both or none of us please" cause most already do cause we are so tight in .xp! The suggestion was to make it more obvious and easier not to change how the picking/adding works in here.

But okay seems like it's not gonna happen the way Cip feels about it :P

The change as to how long a challenge can go however was something I haven't given much thought but now you mention it and I think back, it is indeed needed - looking forward to that.
