Hey guys, recently I added a few new features to the #tf2.pug.na service in regards to class adding. I feel that the following changes allow more choice for the end user as well as easier use for all parties involved.
Here are the new commands for #tf2.pug.na
!add roamer / !add pocket
You'll now be able to add as either pocket or roamer when adding to a pug. The picking process also reflects this change as you will now be able to pick a dedicated pocket and roamer, no longer needing additional time after teams are picked to decide who will pocket and who will play roamer.
!add soldier
If you don't care if you play either pocket or roamer, the !add soldier command will now add you to both roamer and pocket. This is one of the ways I feel will make it easier for users to add as it requires less typing.
!add all
If you don't care what class you play at all, you can use the !add all command to add as all of the classes offered by the pug.na service. This vastly improves the accessibility of the pug.na service, and greatly reduces what a player needs to type into the chat to add as all the classes (it used to be !add soldier scout demo medic, or with the roamer/pocket update !add pocket roamer scout demo medic). This command will not add you as a captain, only the regular classes.
!add combat
But what about if you don't want to add as medic, but want to add as all of the combat classes? Then !add combat will be the command for you, as it will add as all of the classes EXCEPT for medic. Like the !add all command, this command will not add you as a captain.
I hope that with all of these new commands for #tf2.pug.na, it improves the experience of playing in one of our pugs as well as using our bot. So try it out on #tf2.pug.na on the Gamesurge network.

I do not run the #tf2mix channel or maintain their bot, so it would be up to them to do it.

If you guys have any other ideas for the bot just post them in here or find me on the irc channel

Not sure if you have updated the bot any time today, but earlier this morning (3/4am), using !pocket would give you a warning about only being able to add as pocket or roamer.

Instead of doing just !add combat and encouraging people not to play medic, is it possible to make a way to exclude a certain class? Say for instance you would like to play everything except roamer including medic, you'd just type !exclude roamer or something.

Awesome changes, I can only hope they get relayed to #tf2mix

how does !add combat discourage playing medic? i think if people didn't want to play medic, they would have decided not to prior to adding.

at a certain point you will get to where there are so many simplifying options that the net result will be something more complicated. adding features like !exclude or frankly many more options than are currently available will probably get into this territory pretty quick.
also, since adding in #tf2mix is limited to a single class i dont see why they would get transferred over.

because cinq has a bot that starts a game for the people who got fat kidded and it randomly makes a team and the players have the ability to scramble.

Adding aliases for common commands would be pretty cool for all the lazy people
!l for !list
!s for !status etc
