Originally was going to post this in the admin section but I'd like to hear public opinion about it!
In general, with the more features that get added (!fo, !lr, forced deathgames), more complications arise (no freedays during !fo, you can only LR with =6). It gets harder for new players to jump in and it's a huge turnoff.
I'd like to see the introduction of tips and banners when these "out-of-norm" situations occur. All players have some form of !tips plugin enabled which can be toggled on and off, and defaults to on. When a forced deathgame occurs, a CT must type !forceddeathgame or something similar which prompts all users with !tips enabled to have a side menu appear (similar to !rules) with the multiple restrictions: a deathgame can only be forced with =6, CTs must only use map-provided deathgames, etc.. Similar things can appear for !fo where a reminder appears stating that no freedays can be given out with !fo.
The reason for this proposed change is to inform new players of what's going on, remind regulars of the restrictions placed on each of these commands, and abstract away lengthly information from the already-cluttered !rules and !faq/info into an accessible format.
Let me know what you think .
