How it works, in six short scenes | 28 Frags Later

Question 1

What is this?

Accepted Answer

Five-a-side with your mates, and somebody writes down who won. The game wipes everything at the end of a season. We keep the record. Nothing here decides who you play against, and nothing we do touches the game. It is free for players, and it always will be.

Question 2

How do I join in?

Accepted Answer

Sign in with Steam. That's it, your Steam name is your name here. Free, always. We read your Steam ID and nothing else. Change your name on Steam and your record follows it here. Say no to being listed and your row keeps its place with no name.

Question 3

What is a day played?

Accepted Answer

Be there when the war ends, having played most of it. One a day, however many wars you play. It never resets. Your rank comes from days played, never from how many people you shot. Tonight counts, as long as you stay to the end.

Question 4

How does the ladder work?

Accepted Answer

The cash you earn in game is your score, best three wars a week. A war scores nobody with fewer than twelve people playing. Every war is not final for 24 hours, so an admin can check it. One big night settles nothing. Turning up every week does.

Question 5

What is club night?

Accepted Answer

Thursday at 8pm UK time, same night, same faces, bring your mates. A clan is your lot: a name, a short tag and the same people. A clan pools the cash its members earn on the wars three of them played. New here? Ask for a squad and a regular will take you out.

Question 6

What is coming next?

Accepted Answer

The Radio: leave this open while you play and it talks to you. It reads the server every three seconds and says when you take the lead. Sound comes later. For now the page is silent. It works on a phone, or on a second screen beside the game.
