Clan Ladder (Continued)

[Casper]

This goes to expand the match finder thingy.

I think you are talking about 1 of the clan leaders (see my original post) will be able to do a search for a clan that is looking for a war, and challenge them?

If not, then how else would it be done? This isn't concrete but what I was thinking was something along the lines of:

• All clans have a certain amount of points to start with. That is the bottom of the ladder. The "ladder" will have "rungs" :D
  Each clan will only be able to issue challenges to clans in their "rung".
  When the battle is over the winner gets a percentage of the losers points.
  At no point can a clans points go below the amount that they started with. No matter how bad their record is.
  Clans can search for a battle by 1.) amount of players 2.) "rung" proximity 3.) online time

Any other ideas on this before I add it to the list up top?

Also, does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of ringers? or should we just deal with it.

Perhaps the starting rating points should be 100?

I think it should be the larger the war the more rating points are at stake.


It could be (for actual clan wars 2v2 and up)

2v2~2% of points
4v4~4% of points
8v8~8% of points
12v12~12% of points
16v16~16% of points

just deal with ringers... there just as comon as the rank up players and its not worth the fight for them to be honest...

The thing i'm going for is the same set up as gb but just differnet rules with a better community. their set up is fine just the community and the rules are bad..

[Casper]

I like the percentage thing, and have adapted it to my psuedocode. Thanks for the input.

So it's just a definate 6v6 and 9v9 and so on, no inbetween, i.e. an 8v8 or 7v7?

well percentage thing is based off for every player on either side the match is worth 1%

so this is why

2v2=2%
4v4=4%

I didnt list the in betweens like 3v3, cuz it wasnt a nice rounded number. But itd be pretty simple to throw those in if Casper wanted.

Oh ok, I'm just really stupid, sorry.

I have a few things I'd like to say about your ideas.

I don't like this idea of having 5 or 6 clan ladders. First off there aren't going to be a lot of clans using this clan ladder or atleast not right away. Plus clans aren't always going to have 8 people online, so if they happen to only have 6 they have to use another ladder. We should just be able specify how many people we want the war for.

I also don't like the idea about rungs because it is possible that a clan could be in a rung by its self and have no one to challenge. It also gives us less options as to who we can play and would make it harder for us to find a clan war.

We shouldn't be allowed to be in two different clans. Unless you mean the same clan, but just in a different ladder?

As far as ringers; as long as they're on the roster 24 hours in advance and their name is spelt correctly then there shouldn't be a problem.

What are we doing for weapon restrictions? I think we should allowed to ban certain weapons as long as both clans agree upon it.

If you guys need another ref I'll volunteer. I'm online everynight and I don't think the current refs play late at night but I might be wrong.

@otter
I just didn't list all of the numbers, but they are all available. It will just require some time to get it worked out.

@lurtz

I don't like this idea of having 5 or 6 clan ladders.

It won't be 5 or 6 ladders. It will be one ladder that is run off of the overall clan record. That's so that clans playing with only 8 players can still reach the top of the ladder, they will just have to work harder.

it is possible that a clan could be in a rung by its self and have no one to challenge.

Not really, if you think about it. Think how long it will take to get all of the clans stats to the next rung. Once there, they can challenge anyone in that rung, or the rung below them. They just can't jump ahead to the next rung. In that perspective, it keeps clans in the bottom rung - with only 500 pts. and no games played - from challenging a clan in the middle rung with 32 games played and 2,000 some pts. and getting 15% of their pts. Understand?

We shouldn't be allowed to be in two different clans.

That I agree with, I will change that.

As far as ringers... & What are we doing for weapon restrictions...

That will be up to the guys that make the rules, and that's not me.

If you guys need another ref I'll volunteer.

Sounds good to me, but then again, I don't have time to deal with that either. Someone will have to step up and be the head ref and screen all other prospects.
