I think the aging of score isnt so bad as everybody think about. It is not a wild river what need wildwaterrafting, its a slow not deep river. Everybody can stand where he is or can swim forward, only dead bodies drifting to the hardes side. The present score include already a virtual aging for the ...

i voted Yes for a sesonal ladder, but now i think a regular tournament does the same job better. We have a winner a second and a 3. team. It's short, its tells the same (who is the best for the given season) and it pushes teams more to activity. I suggest a winter and a spring tornament for every ye...

how to record which seperate player did a match? Via the /official command? My frequention statistics shows that i played on the 18. May 113 hours. Here schould be a list of matches for the given player. Last Match in days ago, Number of Matches, win/loose ratio, activity ratio, just statistics as m...

i got kicked from a ghost as i spwaned before the match started

some automatics are fine.
An individual buddy list has everybody to keep valid. An automatic system what align with the actual league teams would be nice.

I didnt give dmp's GPS (GPS is already used for Global Positioning System- a satelite nav system) a try, but i think thats the right way. All former solutions are only query. I would like if u get automaticly a message : "Your ducati-teamy NAME joined server:port", or : team Name has [numm...

For the case that a cap-limit is valid, if a team run behind like 3 :7, 8 or 9 they will not see a reason to keep batteling. The better team start to get as quick as possible to reach 10 points. I think ist opposite fun-related. But with the differently cap limit of 7, a positive thinking team try t...

I found as a major issue, its hard to arrange a match. You have to hang up on the server to find a team, than u dont have a teamy. In the beginning i tried to arrange a match via bzmail, i never had success with that. Some calls on IRC had success, but more not. I pushed my team to use an instant me...

wow how difficult it looks if different identifier as used. We have the present score, we were talking about ELO, we have a seasonal league, now ladders and standings not to forget the proposal for monthly rating. I agree that 3 diffent thinks are usefull. 1. a number what show: how strengh, succesf...

other says : if difference from 7 is reached

i only got 1 or 2 times such bzmails. And than it was directed to all teams. The button makes it easier.
The first half of the wiki is already ready.

some statistics are general great. It could posted to the news as well.
Also reaching some level of skill or win against a (maybe 200 points) higher ranked team. To find usefull triggers schouldnt be to hard.

i saw i crazy player, constantly selfkilling for hours. Guess he finished with -1000 or so.

additionals for ELO: - weak team arn't punish for loosing matches -high ranked teams wont get only few points (at least +24) for win against low scored teams -teams wont loose any points if matching 4 times per week, even if they cant win a single match - win a single match means after 1.5 mounths i...

Chestal your right. I want to toward into the furture. Presently other day-traiding issues are more important. If we solved that, we can continue here.

But this discussion has already been made

when?
Isn't that 1 point from the issue list what is to decide.

A teamleader can INVITE, he has a button for that. a player should have a button too APPLY. To avoid that he apply for every team, the number should limited, imho to allow to apply to a single team. Look at all the post " i'm a noob, want to join a team." Answer:"ask on the battlefiel...

omg its the diffenence between the points
If 1 team reach 7 points more than the other.
esp: 7:0
or 17:7
if 7:6 the difference is only 1 point, why schould a match end at this moment.

looks like, do understand the idea isnt so easy. Loook twice.
low Ranking teams dont loose points for playing.
High ranking team win points for playing.
If a team is inactive for at least 50 weeks it die.
Thats the solution for a everlasting scoring.
AND it will ASSIST ACTIVITY!

lol tokimi
your post sounds so good, but u forgot the basics. How you want to realise a single voting about a topic, which the majority isnt clear, whan u didnt know the numbers of persons who can vote?????

League players are member of active teams. Active teams are teams playing matches in the league. A new team are a Jr. team, until they played some matches, its teamleader should ask the council to give the team the state active. That decision can not cancelled, a team can get inactive. Infarct all t...

make new players experienced?
Together with matrixe i created a HOWTO/wiki about ducati-teamwork,
A Wiki for the league is a good plus for newbies.
If somebody wants to join a team he should be able to apply for a team (only for a single team)

i vote for 7.
Infact 6,7,8,or 9 all equal.But seven is a magical number.

The current ranking system shows some weaknesses. News teams normaly loose matches, the get killed by loosing points and falling back behind newly created teams. Inactive highly ranked teams returning at the peak only for playing a single match. Is a team is born , it should play matches without get...

my sugestion: (0) The regularly match duration is 30 minuts. A match should take at least 15 minutes in any cases. It end if: (1) 1 team has 7 points lead (2)the weaker team surrender (3) the referee decide for abuse (4) rules of the league are broken during match (5) both teams agree before to matc...
