Dear members,

Today I updated the gather network bots with a new command for premium admins: !start [map]
This command has to be used directly on the gather channel and will select an available game server (if any) and automatically start your game with a random password. It will also add you (the admin) to the line up. You can even define the map straight from this command.

An other part of the bot update will give additional benefits to our premium members : when an admin starts an IRC gather, there is now a 20 seconds period during which only premium members can !add. This will be usefull on very active channels where you need to !add quickly.

Of course the update also includes a few bug fixes, while introducing new ones

The website update is smaller, but prepares the upcoming changes regarding the ladder prizes distribution. You can now clearly see who is eligible for the prizes in the ladder ranking and trial premium members are now ranked there too.
Finally we would like to thank our member TypeR for the new 'favicon' of the website !

Note: if you find any bug after the update, please report it on our bug tracking interface Mantis

See you soon for more exciting news !
