I am also happy to announce that the integration of skill points in member gathers is going on ! edit: skill points in member gathers is now fully functional !

What about the .exe anti-cheat ?
It is under development, if everything goes well we should be able to release it during the summer cup.

Stay tuned and happy fragging ;)

Update:
We've now added a new system to the premium plugin to stop certain skill point abuse by using a credit system, you must have 10 replaceme credits before you can use the .replaceme command. To collect these credits you must play gathers until the end. For each gather finished, you will get one credit, so you must play 10 gathers before you can use .replaceme. The gathers you have played over the past day or so have been added on to your credits already, however you will not have to pay any credits until the 1st.


Info:
Players are leaving gathers at the end while the gather is still live, premium gathers are considered live until you receieve your skillpoints for the match. If you do leave, because you left while the gather was still considered live, you will still have an automatic report filed on you for leaving, if your team won the match you will not be awarded skill points for it, and you will not earn a replaceme credit. Please do not leave till the gather has ended and you have received your skill points.

Also, we have noticed players team attacking or team killing after the voting to end the gather has started. Again, the gather is still considered 'live' at this point so if you ta or tk then it will reduce your skill points.

As I've mention before the ".afk User" command only needs to be done. For example .report Redlin3 afk is wrong since .afk not only does an automated report telling us how long the user has been afk, but also will find a sub for the afk player (unless they do '.online').

Gather-Network Crew
