Party/Invite System
This was on the old Suggestions board, but yeah. Toribash should have a party system. Here are some aspects of the system so you don't have to read through a giant paragraph:

  • Invite system - This should be a no-brainer if you want to get a group together. There should be a command like "/invite X", and X would get a prompt saying "/joinserver Q", or something along those lines. These commands should work across different servers as well.
  • Mass invites - Just a variation on the invite system, but now you can type "/invite X, Y, Z" and prompts to join would be sent to players X, Y and Z at the same time.
  • Private party chat - Once a player is invited into the party, they should get access to a private chat with just party members. This is similar to Xbox's party chat feature, except with text, not voice.
  • Differentiating between party members and randoms - Party members should have a different color name than other players in the lobby. This would just make it easier to know who's in your party and who's not.
  • Private party function - If you don't want any more people joining your party, you should be able to set the party to private so that nobody else can join.
  • Vote move system - If the party leader decides to select another server to join, the party should be able to hold a vote to decide if they want to move or not. This should only be applied in larger groups, like 4 or more people.

ADDED FEATURES
  • Party Limit - This is to assure that nobody can organize a betting server or a tourney without using global.
  • Block/Ignore Command - If a random player is constantly inviting you, you can add him to a block list, which will permanently disable any contact between the two players until the "blocker" unblocks the "blocked.
  • Clan Invite - If you want to invite everyone in your clan to a party, this saves time by having the command /invite clan, so /invite Hunters would invite all Hunters members currently online.

its a good idea but hard to do i guess but its still good
maybe a clan system too
INB4 14 days ban
I'm not too sure, but it seems it could be abused easily.
Perhaps at 100TC per invite or so, it could be a TC Sink, yet still prevent spam.

Just my 2 cents.

What do you mean by "abuse"? This isn't a way to gain TC's, it's just to keep a group of people together. Plus, at 100 TC an invite, I hardly think anyone would use the party system then. Do you mind elaborating because maybe I'm misunderstanding your idea, I'm not sure.
Because in a Bet server, someone could "Invite" all the big betters and People they know, without paying to do a global, or such.

Either that, or someone could troll and send invites to random people over and over until they join/quit.

So there would have to be a party limit as to how many people you can invite at one time.

Also, we could do a "block" feature where players can block randoms who are constantly spamming them with invites. Either that, or we incorporate a block feature into the /ignore command.
A limit of like, 5-10 people per party would help, but overall that addresses my issues with your idea.

Seems like something that should be implemented into newer releases.

I like this idea
Though something could be added
This: A command that invites all players from your clan to play if they're on Toribash at the time.
mindless machine
I think this could be like the search function already in place.

For instance, /invite Hunters, and then everyone with clan tag Hunters gets invited.

I like it, adding to list of extra features.
Follow or Invite Friends
Now, I don't know if this is implemented yet, but I would be delighted if there is a way for you to either invite or join your buddies. Because the whole /addbuddy "name" isn't worth it if you can't do anything with them. Now, i'm sorry if there is something like this in game, but have not found anything.

Feedback on this idea?
