For those willing to try out pickup games (which is a match making system on IRC for TDM) you can try it out via the webchat quakenet client via this website: https://webchat.quakenet.org/
channel: #tdmpickup

Admins on the channel can then guide you to get started (very quick procedure requiring that you link your nickname to your steamID on irc so that the match making system can create fair teams).

Servers are hosted by our admins for this purpose.
