Masters and Minions
Masters and Minions is a 3 on 3 hockey league. Teams are determined by a draft before each game.
To create an account you need to whisper WWBot the command !register (/w WWBot !register). Once a ref makes sure you are not a smurf your account will be approved and you will be issued an invite to the locked channel MnM. You must sign up with the name you are most recognized with. This is necessary because if one captain knows who you are and another doesn't it will make the draft unfair. You can play the game under whatever name you like but for the purposes of making the draft as fair as possible you must use your most recognized name in the channel. Even if "everybody knows that _ is you" I can't let you use it. If I did I'd have 50 people complaining about how I let you use _ so whey can't they use their alternate name. Even if you are changing names and don't intend to use your old name any more you must still use that name in the channel because of the two previous reasons.
To start/join a game you must type !mw, !uk, or !west in the channel to let the bot know you are available for the draft.
Before the draft begins you can remove yourself from the list of available players by typing !out.
Once at least 6 people sign up the bot will choose 2 captains and list the players available for the draft. The captains will take turns drafting players from the list of people who signed up using the !# command. (ie, !2 will draft player number 2 in the list). You have 2 minutes to make each pick. It shouldn't take that long to figure out who you want to pick and you are going afk before the draft you should !out. It's not fair to make everyone wait around while you go do whatever. If you fail to make a pick in those 2 minutes the draft will be canceled and you will be docked 1 master and 5 minion points. Once the 2 teams of 3 have been chosen the bot will display the teams. Any players who were not drafted may now start another game.
- Each hockey game will be played to 10 points with no time limit. The number 1 rule of the league is to play with common courtesy. If someone lags out wait for them to come back. If the player does not come back right away give them at least 5 minutes before consulting a ref. If the ref feels that they have been given ample opportunity to come back he may punish that player at his discretion. If the player comes back before they have been punished by a ref the game should continue. If the teammates of the player who left both choose to continue the game without the player who left then play continues and the player who left will not be punished. If the player who left returns at any time during this continued play he may rejoin the game. If the team with 2 players loses the game then they will report the loss and the player who left will not be punished so I do not recommend continuing the game unless you are certain you can win 2v3.
After the game has been played come back to the channel and type !lost or !won to report the outcome of the game. Once 2 players from each team have reported the game will be recorded and you stats will be adjusted. If you were a captain your Master score will either increase or decrease depending upon whether on not your team won. If you were drafted your Minion score will go up or down. Players with a higher Master score are more likely to be picked to be a captain. This way teams are being chosen by people who are most likely to pick good teams.
You may check the teams of your game and who reported by typing !mygame.
You can check your stats by typing !mystats.
You may purchase 1 master point for 20 minion points using the **!buymaster commmand. You must have more than 1020 minion points and less than 10 master points to be eligible to use this command.**
If you have been banned from the channel you can whisper the bot the command !banlength to see how much longer you must wait to be unbanned.
Refs can check to see which accounts need to be approved by typing !newaccounts. You can allow these accounts into the channel by typing !approve name where name is the account name.
You can view all unrecorded games by typing !pending.
If a player fails to report the outcome of their game you can type !report name won or !report name lost where name is the account name.
If a player leaves a game unfinished or ruins a game in any manner you can punish them by typing !bad name. When you do this their game is reported. The bad players team loses but all negative stats get taken from the bad player. This will be as if the bad player has lost 3 games.
If a player is causing trouble and doesn't have a pending game you can use the !ban name hours command. (ie, !ban wetwookie 12 will ban wetwookie from the channel for 12 hours).
You can cancel a game without penalizing anybody by typing !cancel GameNum where GameNum is the number listed before the game when the !pending command is used.
