YouTD

suggested rule:
red must do neverending/upgrade/medium/solo as mode, or announc it in lobby.

"Do not lie about modes. If you intend to choose a non-default mode, announce it in lobby or vote ingame/in the lobby." ?

[SLSGuennter]

Seems good, though "ingame" isnt possible, since red (the mode-choser) cant write ingame before chosing mode. If red hits "enter" to start writing, this will result in picking some mode already.
Default should be set to "neverending/upgrade/medium/solo" ... there are some players which play on hard, but they can say it in lobby, and other then neverending/upgrade is just destroying fun of all players and nobody should be forced to play in teammode.
atm the moment, if neverending/upgrade/medium/solo or at least neverending/upgrade/hard/solo is not picked, all players leave anyway

@Guennter That's a general rule and nothing I just came up with.

I dont get why the bot would need a special rule if the idea behind it is the same: to announce modes in lobby. If you dont wanna play it, you can join the next lobby.

[SLSGuennter]

well, it is cause there is no "default" on YouTD ... just a "majority-played-mode" (overhelming majority)

Personally, I don't think the change in difficulty or numbers of round matter much.

I think the only things that really count are:
-When host picks Team Mode and you stuck with a new player, an afker, or something.
-When host picks Team Mode, and Killer gets all. Unless you play with friends, the Killer gets all will force you to build unnecessary towers just to compete for gold.
-When host picks extra mode like Shared Stashes or Same Builder, then that would be a major problem.

As for announcing modes, it's possible for red to says "It's Team Mode" to blue and teal. Then, red tabs for a second and purple and yellow joins. This result in purple and yellow become unaware of the chosen modes. Following the scenario, purple (let's assume a new player/downloader) and he becomes blue's partner (let's assume a die hard YouTDer). This can potentially ruins a game for both blue and purple.

Though, I do like the idea of default mode. As I have written above, difficulty and numbers of round do not matter much, it's mostly the extra modes and team choice that go with it.

My suggestion would be to set a default mode. Then, if any players want different mode, they can ask for other players consent.

[SLSGuennter]

number and difficulty matter a lot ... more then 90% of the youtd community would refuse to play lower then medium and anything else then 240 rounds (and there is no real "pro" to make lower amound of waves)

but on all the other points i agree with reborn2956

Then red gets banned for failing to inform all players; where's the issue?

[SLSGuennter]

the issue is,
red can always say: "unban me cause there is no "default" mode and therefor i can pick what i want."

[aRt)Y]

You solved your own issue; since there's no default mode, he has to announce any mode he does. Makes sense?

[SLSGuennter]

ok. so i will start banning people if they dont tell mode in lobby ... thx for the help feel free to archive it!

[Mercy]

better tell people they have to announce. most people choose the normal mode. but if they're new, they'll go easy w/ build. i think they sh ould only be banned if they put all random or something in that is more detrimental than not.

suggested rule:
red must do neverending/upgrade/medium/solo as mode, or announc it in lobby.

That is a lot of modes to follow by.

I remember a lot of YouTD games having forever rounds, so leaving was np. If no autoban, people can just join the next game?

Or better yet, simply bother to ask red what mode he will be choosing?

I do not think easy mode is bad to play or game ruining in any way, more like preference or based on player lvl.

There is no !hcl command for these modes either, right?

[SLSGuennter]

Or better yet, simply bother to ask red what mode he will be choosing?

yes, i will do it like this and if there is no answer/lie or anything like this, i will feel free to let the player live with the consequences

[supersexyy]

So if you go afk in lobby you may be banned?
