[DISCUSSION] Just Curious
![[MOD]Polleus](https://forum.z8games.com/uploads/customavatars/7/navatar_8918107.gif){kind=avatar}
I realize there are a couple Pick-Up-Game vents running right now. But for the sake of this thread I don't want to hear any reference to a particular vent, I will remove any such posts. I am curious, in a general way, what all of you think (preferably the many that say, "I don't PUG anymore") what a good PUG vent should consist of. Keep in mind when placing opinions on rule sets, they should be the most balanced and fair for everyone.
I want to hear any kind of details, rules(not just weapon sets), procedures(Picking teams, how a vent should be set up, etc). I want to hear it all. I remember pick-up-games from quite a while ago and they can be a lot of fun as well as provide some competition between players. These places should provide some fun as well as a place to keep your skills sharp when your team isn't on. This is simply for my own curiosity. Keep it clean please. I'd like to hear some healthy discussion on this.
Reminder: Do not reference or hint to any specific current/past PUG vents, Admins, faults, failures, successes. I want to keep this as general as possible to avoid unhealthy argument and discussion. This is the warning, for the record. Don't say I didn't warn you

I Don't PUG, at all since the old-old days.
Main reason being that ALL the new pugs are run by children that whine and ***** about the smallest things.
They ban players for no reason and let their friends get away with cheating+
The only time I PUG now is the EU pugs sometimes, whenever Cast- is there since they're more mature (even though run a 300+ ping). -

So responsible admins.. -
Players that get your team DQ'd
Players that are terrible (if your always going negative in the WOGL Draft your doing it wrong).
Cheaters
Bad admins (Sort of like when I showed up late so I could yell at my team mates to scrim then I get dragged into a team even though there were people still waiting).
Time, I would rather pub then wait 3 hours to get DQ'd -

Do you believe a private vent would be successful? A locked vent. Handed out to only specific teams at first? Just throwing around the discussion here

I want a Pug vent to look like this:
You join the ventrilo server
Go into the waiting room, wait until 10 people are in it
2 random captains, captains picking players (gym class style, as usual)
1 team picks the map, 1 team picks the side they want to play first on
This should happen quick, i dont want to wait 30 mins to play a 3min game because people are randomly leaving
Ingame:
Take it serious...not like: "Oh, its just a pug...ima go afk, i dont give a damn"
Dont hate, dont troll, dont flame, dont insult, dont go afk, dont randomly leave
AC would be nice also. -

Yes! with my tactics of course -
Not sure if I would say specific teams, but you would want to be some what exclusive.
I disagree, I would rather include everyone and just police the trouble makers. The biggest thing is just actually punishing the known offenders (vN). -
-16+, would prefer to play with known players.
-don't have captains who have no idea what their doing (can lead to "stacked" teams)
-serious gameplay, not like everytime you kill someone, you get called a "tryhard"
-known admins, not 12 year old randoms like previous pug vents. -

If you get serious about this just speak to me on vent and I will give you a list of anyone worth having in the PUG...that simple.
You would give the vent info to mature competitive players looking to improve/practice in a PUG that are known to be against cheaters. -

I WOULD say 16+ too but there are a few players under 16 who are more mature than most people / more competitive
for example:
