New CLOT ladder, this one for realtime games. Still members only due to the luck settings and the GameAPI restrictions.

http://www.tpolm.org/~ps/wl_clot/greece1vs1/

To participate just click the 'new game' button and join.

The template is Ancient Greece with szew's strategic settings, i think i got it from a live tournament, don't remember for sure.

0% luck, straight round, no cards, wastelands of 6, 5 starting positions.

Am thinking of turning it into wastelands of 5 and 4 starting positions. Opinions, polls or bug reports are welcome.

uh, nice!

ugh, little bug, fixing, brb

Real time only? Wouldn't this make international matches really difficult to coordinate? Even if I could specify times I might be available, schedules change...

I really like it!

It doesn't automatically place you in games, you have to manually press the button when you want to play one, and then click it again when you are ready to play the next etc.

I think.

bug is fixed. ladder is operational again.

think i might need to rethink the backend to use a proper database though. realtime games will create much more data then the multiday ones.

Pushover: like Summer said, it doesn't automatically pair players, it just lets you play with whoever else is currently also online wanting to play.

rating for now is just wins - losses.

ah damn, still a bug around somewhere. -_-

closing it down temporarily again.

Re-opened. Let's hope it's more stable now. :)

Going to sleep now, leaving this open, wondering what state it'll be in when i wake up. :p Have fun guys!

once it's all cleaned up, having this (or other real-time 1v1 CLOTs) as an open game in multiplayer for members only would be cool.

some 1v1 templates i'd be interested in playing in a real-time (random map?) CLOT:

A. So-called 'strategic templates':

- Poland http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=274529
- Guiroma http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=247664
- Modified Europe NC http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=195175
- Koreas http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=190692
- East Asia & Oceania http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=168942
- Earth http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=280820
- Standardized Modified ME http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=285150
- Chaos' favorite two templates from his maps
- Fizzer's changing bonus values for Modified Medium Earth

B. Fun templates:

- Hurey's Castle http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=296843
- 10-Card Qinese Torture http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=278707
- Dirty Sumo Dancing http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=268149
- 7-Card European Hold 'Em http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=208892
- Ancient Chinese Torture http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=296485

i think the fun templates are just as strategic (in the actual meaning of the word) as the 'strategic' templates. but players who prefer 'strategic' templates seem to prefer certain types of settings (and don't know how to use every type of card equally strategically?).

Nobody is online :(

Sorry for double post.

I think that the AVG score should be called 'net' because that what it really is.

I am online

Looks like the server held down ok while i was asleep :) HHH is no longer last, been a busy boy :D

Qi: yeah, when this is stable and improved enough i can make some others unless Fizzer steps up with something official to fill that void between here and then.

General Arun: The whole rating system needs to be upgraded, i just haven't had time to properly look into it yet.

Who is HHH??

Who is HHH??

he just beat you a few minutes ago.

Heyheuhei; one of the best players on the site.

ok

I watched the ladder rank and when i saw hhh playing 15 games i lmao. Isn't there something wrong with rating? I mean... the more you play the more you get no? Quantity above quality..
