More than 7 Ops in a channel

[Chavo]

I have been doing battle.net related bot development for about a year now.  First with stealthbot, then with JavaOp, and a bit experimenting with my own C# variant.  Only recently have I had the need/desire to have more than one or two operators in a [clan] channel at any given time.

I've heard rumors that It is possible to have more ops in a channel than the Chieftain + Shamans + one designated op.  Is this possible?  If so, how would one go about doing this?  I don't need my hand held, but I just don't know enough about the subject to know where to start

Thanks for any help you can provide, hope I didn't overlook anything before posting

Load a shaman account so it is on #2, keep the #2 loaded, then with the cheif, demote the one that is loaded on #2, it will stay on ops, now you can unload #2, promote another name and keep on going.

I tried this, when the shaman is demoted it causes him to rejoin the channel and lose ops

You're so supposed to promote everyone that you demoted prior to a shaman so they may regain operator status I believe.

I just misunderstood what Hero was saying the first time, it works.  Unfortunately though it seems I would have to know the password for every account that I wanted to give ops to.  Since not all of these accounts are bots, there appears to be no way to achieve what I was hoping for

Oh well.

No you don't, you could always have a friend load a shaman and a #2, then just demote the shaman, and you never will know the pass.

Right, but then they would
a) need 2 cd keys (granted 1 can be a floating key everyone uses just to get the ops
b) load a bot, most of the people that this will benefit won't want to load a bot every time they enter the channel

Maybe it would help if I went into a little more detail.

The clan chieftain is the primary bot for the clan.
There are 9 Clan 'leaders' (3 of which share a joint-chieftain role)
The wc3 shamans only accomidate 5 of the 9.
Therefore, I need a way to give ops to the remaining 4 (3 if I designate-op one) for the times when all 9 members are in the channel together.

Hope that makes more sense.

Ahh ok, I see what you mean now  .
