Pickup servers you have to join through the relevant IRC channel. Basically how that works is, you join the channel, put yourself up for a game, and once there is 10 players, an admin will send server details (either iGame or SGS) and a password. You join said server, play the pickup game, first to 13 wins, and then next game starts. Keep in mind that if you joined the game, you have to finish the game. So these games have to have passwords on them to stop random people from joining. Pickup games simulates a clannie enviroment the best, it's also 5 vs 5, same as a proper clannie, where as the promod open servers are max 8 vs 8, and people can come and go as they please.
