Ladder 2 Round 4 - Standings

[Lord_Xan]

Round 4 is frozen for the time being. We had lots of server problems Sunday evening and as a result of that the Adara match couldn't be completed.

Note that IslandHop did complete successfully. I won't be posting Round 4 points until we've managed to play Adara.

We had some difficulties starting the matches again due to players being MIA. From now on, please consider Sunday evenings 22:00 to be standard ONS Ladder time. If you know in advance that you won't make a match, please try and let a clanmate or someone who's playing know.

A final note on IslandHop: Even though the match was very unbalanced, that is part of the 2nd Ladder's setup. I can't replace missing players with other players or bots, as this will defeat the purpose of having troop movements in the first place. I know it sucks for those playing, but please try to keep in mind that there is a larger victory at stake. :)

If you have any questions, or want to discuss aspects of the 2nd Ladder, please let me know. I'll post another update once we get Round 4 going again.

Ok, so what are we gonna do about the server crashes? I did remove antitcc from MA server (which was not laging at all last night), so maybe it is worth a try again to make sure that it is the utcomp1.6+antitcc combo thats causes the servers to crash. Once we established this we can maybe get the sgs peeps to remove either one from mod/onslaught server....

Xan, we need a rule to make a game starts x mins after starting time where x should never be more than 10mins. If someone pitches late for a game twice, he is out of the ladder or something like this.....

Just a thought.

']If someone pitches late for a game twice, he is out of the ladder or something like this.....

A bit harsh but I agree with the x time frame, if players are not prepared to wait then the match must go on. No point in waiting if somebody else will have to leave. My wait vote goes for 15Mins idealy it would be cool if players would join the server 5 - 10 minutes before the match is scheduled to start.

Has anybody heard anything from Boogeyman yet? I havent seen him around for ages and have my reservations whether he still playes UT.

Ok, my work internet access is officially anus. That is to say, I can access the internet better through my anus. :mad:

I'll post my reply tonight when I get home.

I think we test the MA server out. Although tonight's ONS games went by without a hitch. I'm really not sure anymore what's causing the resets. :(

That's a bit harsh IMO. I'm trying to strike as best a balance as I can but I agree that we shouldn't wait ages. I'll try to do better next time.

Eh, I can't remember if I wanted to say anything else. Guess if it was important I would've remembered.

Do the craches only occur on the CBP maps, or on all the maps,

Like xan said, standard maps work fine

[sneaky]

Pretty sure its all the maps.

[Shrimp]

Definitely all the maps. Had it happen many times on Torlan and co.

[Boogeyman]

Yes I am still here......and I will be playing tonite!

[sneaky]

cool bananas :)

[Lord_Xan]

Ok, Adara was finally finished tonight. The Round 4 points totals are as follows:

Red Team - 93
Blue Team - 60

Battles
Using a clever blitzkrieg, Blue managed to snatch IslandHop from Red. Reports of a lone soldier roaming around trying to fend off the inevitable are unconfirmed at this time.

The big clash of Round 4 happened in Adara. Red fought valiantly, but in the end Blue managed to retain control of the map, much to Red commander's dismay. When last seen he was angrily shaking his fist at his computer screen and making rude gestures with his pelvis.

Round 5 awaits!

[gizzlo]
