4 things to discuss

[Method]

Here's some ideas people have suggested, give your opinions on em.

1. Players should only be able to play the same player 3 times in 1 day (in any ladder).

2. Players should only be able to challenge opponents who are higher in rank than they are. Thus stopping high ranked players from challenging only newbies.

3. Players should lose rank for inactivity to stop them getting high ranks through feeding and then not accepting challenges

4. The bottom right jav box (Box 24) is different to the others. I like it better and think it should be set for all jav boxes. What do you think?

Edit: Added a 5th: -Method

5. Duels to 5 should count for half the rating as duels to 10 would

This is definately a good idea.

2. Players should only be able to challenge opponents who are higher in rank than they are. Thus stopping high ranked players from challenging only newbies.

If this is the case, the top people will have to wait to be challenged. What would stop people from not challenging the top person, making them inactive and lose everything?

3. Players should lose rank for inactivity to stop them getting high ranks through feeding and then not accepting challenges

See response to #2.

4. The bottom right jav box (Box 24) is different to the others. I like it better and think it should be set for all jav boxes. What do you think?

Yeah, do it!

Also, for the Hall of Fame/Shame, I think 10 games minimum would be more representative than 5 games minimum. Its too easy for someone to duel 5 "newbs" and screw people who actually play.

add a super-sharks box in the middle for people who think TWEL is retarded and are waiting for people to finish up so ?go base can get started.

To correct this, would it be possible to only challenge someone with a rank difference of say... 300 +/- your own rank? Note: that number is a ballpark estimate. Mess with it as you please. I don't know how bots would be able to detect/handle it though...

yes


3. Players should lose rank for inactivity to stop them getting high ranks through feeding and then not accepting challenges

I think this rule is bad. Why should I lose my rating just because I"m lazy and only play once a week? Active people who are good and win their games will pass up inactive people without any additional help. If you don't accept challenges you'll get passed up by people who keep adding to their score by winning, it's simple.

3 times per division sounds good, otherwise no

2. Players should only be able to challenge opponents who are higher in rank than they are. Thus stopping high ranked players from challenging only newbies.

This wouldn't be fun for high ranked players. I like the +-200 rating only challenges, or just a -200 "floor" which you cant challenge below

3. Players should lose rank for inactivity to stop them getting high ranks through feeding and then not accepting challenges

Good idea. For example every 3 days a player doesn't play one duel in a division they have 100 points deducted from their score. TWD has a good system but it doesn't prevent somebody from playing a bunch of duels and then just coming back the day before playoffs and playing one day to get their points back as though they never left.

4. The bottom right jav box (Box 24) is different to the others. I like it better and think it should be set for all jav boxes. What do you think?

Box 24 is the best

5. Duels to 5 should count for half the rating as duels to 10 would

I dont like this one, I think just getting rid of duels to 5 would be better but not making their value different

good ideas except the last.
10 is just too long.

Every duel should go till 5.

You need to download a codec. Just search for Nimo codec in google and d/l the latest build (version). It should work fine then.

[NaiLed]

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes
4. yes
5. no

[Malladrin]

1. Good idea.
2. NO! I'd rather see that you can only challenge opponents within a certain intervall (like earlier suggested +-200)
3. YES! But not that much...
4. YES!
5. YES!

[Savageee]

1. Yes for sure.
2. Same as everyone eles, have a range.
3. If they got there like that, inactivity wont do much because they can just get someone to give them an easy win every so often anyways.
4.I hate javs so go nuts.
5.Yup

What about another option in set rules called something like "Warp to Start", let it warp both you and your oppenent back to the starting warp and restore when either dies. I just think this would be a good idea because warp on deaths doesn't really do much when you spawn next to your oppenent. This happens lots in spider when someone will spawn and the guy just moves in right next to him and gets him, its impossible to stop unless your oppenent is an idiot. In warbird atleast you can turbo some, but spider your kinda screwed.
