From BattleWiki

I am getting ready to start putting together shackbattles.com so I wanted to get some feedback on what kinds of things you guys would like to be able to do there.

Here are a few if the things I allready have in mind.

Contents

Forum

  • Have a threaded ja.zz like discussion topic for every server, player, battle, etc.
    • Have to be somewhat monitored so that it did not develop into a general discussion

Game Scheduler

  • Something like what was at shackbattles.net to be used for setting up games.
    • should tie in with shackmessages as it used to for game notification
      • Could also have an option to use email as notification system
    • user ability to add new games

User Registration

  • registration should be through shackmessages
    • To open it up we could allow registration to email addresses

Player name lists

    • Something like what Portax keeps at shack.portax.net that will list
    • shackname to xbox gamertag
    • users can list what games they have for what platforms
      • set if they want to be notified of a new battle for individual games
      • same thing for leagues
      • if you use a different name for a particular game allow it to me set in your games list

Leagues

    • users can create a league for a game
    • shackbattles.net will manage league by sending out sm's to members when they have games
    • I am sure there is alot more we can do with this one but I have not though it through very well. Please help me with this one.

Stats

    • support stats for whatever games make it so they can be captured
    • work out a method for server admins to upload csv (or whatever the particular game puts out) files for regular stats updates on community servers
  • What other kinds of things would you like to see here?
    • Please also expand on anything above

Password system

    • password is stored in the record for a particular server.
    • SM'd to people when they sign up for a battle on that server
    • SM'd to a list of people signed up to get updates on the particular game that server hosts when it is updated by the admin
    • If someone puts the password in the chatty they get knocked from the list
    • If your being an asshat while playing in a crowded server you get kicked from the list
    • Anyone can get on the distrbution list. You have to earn your way off it.
  • Reservations
    • a system that reserves slots for like the first 15-30 mins of a posted scheduled time
    • Integrate with community servers a system that will modify a server config to set the new password, change passwords, set player whitelists/banlists.

Player ranking/ban system

    • A user contributed player ranking system
      • Players can give "Karma" points to other players.
      • Players can leave negative feedback in the form of negative Karma
      • The Karma score can determine weather or not a player get invited to a particular game
        • in battle/legaue setup allow a selection so that you have to have X Karma to be invited/recieve the password.

Server Hosting

  • Offer the standard X$ per slot that every one else offers
  • Offer a flexable server.
    • This one gets you a login, xGB of disk and xMBit of bandwidth.
    • This would allow someone to run more than one server
    • have several dormant servers configured
    • run the server however they wanted
    • A setup fee for servers could be charged if they dont want to setup there own
    • Use a traffic shaper to keep the bandwidth to the alloted amount
