Some etiquette for clanwars/funwars/pr0wars/whateveryoucallit

Having been in some clanwars of a type, yes this is good etiquette

Even if it is just your own point of view it is true in this meaning. (I wish the clan I'm in fought with clans that used these rules )

(I always just assume that the reason that my clan and the clan we're against plays on their own public server is because they don't feel like giving everybody passwords.. But then, passwords are changeable ofcourse, but I think they are too lazy/dunnohow to do that ) (Or they don't have the cfg file??? What!?!? xD)

every time i want to play openfng i see some noobs on one server who just vote me after join.
i dont want to say you are wrong but you arent right too there are 2 point of views every time.
most time the noobs uses wrong server for example join a 3v3 server and want to do a 1v1.
so the war is endless : noobs vote pros & pros vote noobs ...

I totally agree with you Baklava, but I'm sure noone will stick to these rules...
Anyway there are simple methods to avoid these problems:
If you want to participate in a funwar, you have to simply join a midlevel clan(be nice and active and you have good chances to be taken).
If you want to play capgames you mustn't be a random player for them (be active again!)
There's no need to be a pro, midlevel is enough normally.
And if you just want to avoid such things: Don't play on clanservers(most of the fws/cgs are on clanservers!)

nope look at these screens :

I have to strongly disagree.

In case of upcoming semantics, I'll call "organized play" (in short, OP) encompassing all definitions of clan/fun war (CW/FW) and captain's game (CG).

I think having a server private, publicly listed, and/or password protected is not only irrelevant to OP, but enforcing (for a lack of a better word) private servers for OP will surely deaden the OP community. Last time I checked, TW is not the liveliest game in the world.

Mentioning that a server prioritizes OP is somewhat futile, as this is the Internet, with possibilities of many different languages, while not understanding all of them. This can be clearly seen in NA servers, where SA players come and do not understand English and vice versa with Spanish/Portuguese. So then, should we write these "do not enter/beware of dog" signs in every language? However, I find it agreeable that we should develop a codeword that can be easily memorized for anyone, for example putting "high-level play" in the server title and/or in the MOTD so that everyone knows that server will prioritize organized games.

I can't say too much about ownership, but I do think that people who own the servers are connected to the organized game players for the most part, if not all. I know which servers are my own anyway.

You wish to play or do you wish to play with high-level players? Just as it is demotivating for casual players, it is demotivating for high-level players to have/play with/against casual players. To draw an extreme analogy, you simply don't have average people competing in the Olympics. If you just want to play, there are plenty of servers or, bluntly put, plenty of time left in your life to visit the servers another time. Similar to what fallen.kn says, if the players in the server are dominated by beginners, they will kick high-level player(s). They will also likely accuse usage of bot. I'm fine with that (and you should be too), because just as much I want to play with/against players my own skill level, they want to too. That's how we develop this "anti-noob/-pro" stereotype against Chilean players and you know it.

Well, perhaps it's actually the best idea to use Baklava's idea on mentioning something about OP in the server title/MOTD. One thing that will not work is mentioning "pro" because every Chilean think they are the best. Easiness of English words, conciseness, and consistency should be carefully considered, but I think "high-level play" fits the three categories, but does not necessarily imply "organized play" but the word "organized" is probably not understood by everyone.

Not only are you able to write 1 sentence in english, but you managed to write the longest sentence ever known to the english language. Well done.

Baklava never said that the public servers were off-limit for Cap-games. He is talking about cleaning out the server, to make room for a Capgame. IF the teams are settled, then people should wait and respect the ongoing game.

On a public footballfield most people would let strangers join in, no matter how good or bad they are! I doubt they would tell the stranger to get back to ctf5, and call him a noob! Actually, ive never experienced that in my life! And i doubt i will!

I would comment this, but i dont understand dafuq you mean!

You are not supposed to defend the scene, you are supposed to contribute. No wonder Vanilla is so rape-fucked!

I was asking myself the same question when Jambi said....

...But you didn't seem to mind when Jambi went off-topic, so i can only assume you undeniable slanted in this topic.

First of all, He was talking about the server when he said everyone is welcome! His metaphor on the other hand....

.....indicates that he was clearly talking about the ongoing game, or the game that was about to start! I guess he didnt have a metaphor about telling people to go "spectate or get kicked"

You Can assume as much as you want, but i have played enough sport to know the difference between a public pitch, and a a pitch reserved by a organized team or club

Its a contribution to the topic, yes!.....still searching for the benefits!

Yes, you are wrong! We are talking about vanilla in general. And vanilla in general is competetive!
Or do we need a certain amount of skills to be a competetive player? Do we need to play on ctf2?
While we are at it! There is no such thing as a pro teeworlds player. Unless you can make a living out of playing the game.
So what is really the difference between a "pro" and a "noob"
In my eyes, the "pro" spend more time in front of the computer! So next time someone calls a "noob" for a looser, think about who the real looser is!....its not the "noob"

I think i have contributed in a positive way, founding the biggest community in vanilla, wich is based on the social aspect of the game, and the only true value: Fun!
