@motd, Macedonia no split template
there are recon card and dense fog, you should change one of them

This is intentional. This template was made by Master Bjarke(I think) and it's always been dense fog. A recon card is useful on this template due to the dense fog!

BTW, I'm not familiarized with all the templates, there ara any with special sttings like multy-day, no-split, local-dep, commanders...despite the ones that have it on the name?

There are two templates on multi-attack(they will have MA in the name). There is one template on no-split(also has no-split in the name). There are no LD or commander templates on this ladder. If you do not like some of these templates, you can always "veto" up to 3 of them and the ladder will not give you any games on vetoed templates :)

Is this is why none of the templates utilize commanders?

Yes. Only members have unlocked commanders. Having commander templates reduces my target audience. Most of the players do not seem to like commanders either.

It says that I lost to Krzysztof but we never played. I had accepted the game but he didn't. And the game link goes to "The requested game does not exist. It may have been deleted by the game creator."

Sorry about that. This was a bug which has now been fixed. Any player who doesn't join within 3 days, will be awarded a loss. If both players do not join the game, a winner will be chosen at random. I will also delete the game, once I've recorded a winner(which is why you see the message that the game has been deleted). This is to avoid checking the status of that game and "cleaning" up.

I have also corrected the three games affected by this bug. If these results are inaccurate, please let me know.

Hmm, it looks odd having a gamelink to a deleted game, imh, what is the point?

Can't you replace the numeric link, with "Bye" or "Failed to Join" or "Forfeit" , well you get the point :P
Talking about what you see here http://md-ladder.cloudapp.net/player?playerId=8820746826

The game with Verzehrer was made but he didn't join in 3 day's. I remember well as it was the only dubbed template of my 9 games.

Tanks for making this ladder.
Could you please consider to higher the "veto" up to 15, or at least higher it? Highering the veto shouldn't cause problems and only higher the freedom of the ladder users.

No. Just no. Next time think a bit more about your ideas, but it could end up with only 5 available templates between 2 players. truely not what this clot is about!

Yes with both having 15 different veto's, there will be only 5 available templates between 2 players. I don't see a problem with 5 templates they both like, it should only make for better games. But I agree 15 is a bit much, 10 would be better, so there will be at least 15 different templates between players, what is still 50% more then the real-time ladder has.

First of all thank you, the MDL seems to be awesome! Much better than 1v1 ladder for me.

@ Orange: The idea is to find the best player on several templates. The veto is only to vote something out you absolutely hate to play (f.e. I would vote commanders or multi attack out). Maximum 5 veto's seems OK to me.

I would definitely not increase the number of vetos. The whole idea I wasn't sure about because I was afraid that everyone will pick the no split and multi-attack templates and I never wind up playing those. But on the other hand I've happily put one veto to use already :)

Also. Congrats Njord on being 1st in the ladder!

this has to stop. im not 1st on the ladder... i am just the first to be ranked because of having 20 games finished and that is because of me getting booted in several games

You stole the title for the first #1 on the ladder ever from me tough. Very roood.

I know Njord... but I thought it would be funny to congratulate you :) Still you beat me fair and square.

Master of desaster, well now you're second #1 on the ladder :-P, and Njord is the first #2 on the ladder too. He's racking up the firsts!

Edited 11/1/2016 21:38:37

so, there was really game that i haven't joined for 3 days? ;p

He's racking up the firsts!

Don't forget he was the first player to hold first and last place at the same time

so, there was really game that i haven't joined for 3 days? ;p

Yes. I think that's the only way I can beat you!

Can't you replace the numeric link, with "Bye" or "Failed to Join" or "Forfeit" , well you get the point :P

The game link lets me debug issues quickly. So I'd rather leave it there :P It's not too different from a game won by boot. When you click on a game which has been deleted you know why :)

Like some other folks have pointed out, the goal of this ladder is to test players on a variety of templates. So vetoing 10 or 15 templates seems excessive. However, I will consider increasing the limit to 5, as I add a few more templates(coming soon!)

Do games on this ladder affect Warlight accounts (wins, losses, boots)?

^Yes the games are ranked: wins, losses, boots will all count. Only a lost because of not joining a game in three days will not affect Warlight accounts.

I hope there will be a light-fog template added. :D

If you join the ladder, there will be normal, ranked games on warlight created for you. They will affect all your stats just like every other ranked game.

Orange there is french brawl:)

*User opens MD ladder*

*User clicks top player to check games* (or any player to prepare or check out template or recent finished games or whatever)

*User gets game deleted*

*User repeats*

*User gets annoyed* (User Thinks, does this ladder even work?)

I mean, sure you can keep the gameID there, just don't make me waste time opening deleted games :/ All that is needed is some small indicator.

>proceeds to get booted from almost every game

School is taking its toll on me.
