I mostly agree anyway :p
And admire using thouse rules.

The last reservation:

We're better at every setting combination than you are.

This one I understand - proving that you know better what you are saying, that you know the template.

But this:

Believe it or not Einstein, we've ...

What for did you put Einstein there, what information would your statement lose by discounting that?

EDIT:
Also from my above post:
This is a very interesting things. Two questions come to my mind:
The manners - our communication protocol was invented for some reason. What was it? Was it usefull? Should we like that just get rid of it, what do we lose in this case?

And the second one: Shortaning the information causes loss of some data, where is the right limit of the length - where the information is still 100% clear but is the shortest possible.

If you have some opinion on that please share it.

If you are going to have shit settings at least choose a different map, since season 18 or 19 its been a map which is not ME/MME twice. People make great maps for this game and yet you never seem to use them for seasonal.

Buns ... it's gotta be Pure Skill

I completed a practice game on this with my other account.

First of all, thx Viral for doing the game as I don't have membership on my accounts. I am worried that this template will be easy to stall on. The guy I played against did not stall but he could had stall for a long time if he would have wanted. I don't necessarly think it is a bad template as it is very different from what I usually play. My main concern is really about how much easy it is to stall on this.

Man, why do seasonal templates tend to get worse and worse?... Almost nobody likes LD, same for commanders.

and now season combines both of it? like hell...

+1 for no-luck cycle.
-1 for LD.

._. oh lord why must thou punish me with a template that can't even be autopiloted on

Commanders, meh. Doesn't affect much.

i wanted to join season XXV as my first ever season on seasonal ladder

after seeing the template.....i think my first is going to be on XXVI

Kill it with fire!

<size=over_9000> "Not an update" </size=over_9000>

If Krzychu plays this season, he will win it.

@Ox nice bilingual speech there :P

I get that you're set on introducing commanders more to the strategic community, I guess to encourage people to buy memberships, fair enough, it's your game, and obviously this is also a business. LD I think is a fair enough twist, and should bring a different angle to the gameplay.

The only problem I have is the map, we have just played a MME commanders seasonal, but that aside, I have played a couple games on it, and the map is way too big for LD. It's also not the right type, I think LD is best played on maps which are just a lump of land mass, where as MME has too many chokepoints, and also has no edges since you can cross from the sides of the map to the other side, I don't think this map is really a LD one.

Basically, I think more community input into the templates would be a good idea. I think the voting on the last season was quite successful, if you want a particular setting, you can make us vote on only templates with that setting. People might not like commanders, but if the community could at least help create the template they play commanders on, there might be less complaints.

if you are going to link a game, at least make it a competitive one :)

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11689477 here from a tourney featuring several top 100 ladder players :)

who plays such shit templates :P

Put this settings in Hex Earth and add MA while you're at...

I'm not playing this season either.

Looks like I'm being forced to play :|:|:|

I didn't even join the damn thing, had no intention of playing this crappy template. Why the hell do I have seasonal games?!?

Because you played last season and forgot to leave. I know, it's weird :/

just leave as soon as you can to minimise games.

If you don't leave the ladder from the last season, you are automatically signed up for the next season.

Grrrr
