  • 1v1 Idea

    For some time one of my friends and I thought of this...

    .... Why isn't there a 1v1 League/Ladder? After we brought up that question we thought to ourselves what is the minimum that you would need to do a dueling ladder? Lets see.... players, game, some sort of ranking system, and a way to keep track of players (whether pen and paper or typing a little thing up on a crappyass, free geocities website).

    Then for rules, they'd basically be the same as when you usually do a duel. Warbirds, below the bar, to 10, no warp, no spawn, no safe. If you type and get killed (type kill) its your own damn fault for typing something long (or short) in the middle of a duel.

    I'm thinking of doing something like any sporting event. Do some "Season" play for points and then the top 8 players get spots in playoffs and then you have the champ.

    Now, the only way I'd be doing this is if I get some support of people who'd wanna do this. There has to be a minimum of 10 dedicated people for me to start this up. There are no qualifications to get in, you can be a vet, newb, young, old.

    After I get a list of people who want to do this I'll go more in depth with the rules and point system and how this is all gonna go down. I think this will be fun, especally for those players who think they are the shit when it comes to 1v1 dueling. Here is your place to strut your stuff and prove once and for all that you are that damn good.

    Just post down here if your interested and/or any thoughts that you'd have on this. I'll be then making a list of players and then once I got 10 I'll get this thing started. But there can definately be more than 10 players so dont think its 1st come 1st serve.

    Takes too much from Bots. There are needed more than 3 bots for that. Over 300 players online at same time in TW, and if the all want to play at same time, ooh well...

      I should have stated this above, but i'm not asking for any support from the TW Staff and their bots. I'd be holding these duels in a private room. I'll referee the matches. This is just a league by players for players.

            i wasnt around when the TWEL was around and alrighty, mine will be cooler then, because...... because....... umm...... DAMNIT! THEY"RE GONNA TAKE ALL MY CUSTOMERS!!!! All my thought and hard work for nothing!

            My 1v1 won't be a league then. it will be an ongoing ladder that gets reset every so often. probably when someone reaches a certain amount of points.

                It was a failure both times, but it could easily be re-made now.

                  The first 2 times TWEL died because it was not organised properly.
                  When the TW 1v1 get setup it will be run in a ?go 2xtourny styled arena and the DuelBot will control everything.

                  Also, TWEL was hosted on casesladder/myleague.com the first two times which ran by the system that if you beat someone higher than you you gained half their rank (if #20 beat #10 then he would move up to #15).
                  But when this league/ladder launches it will use the TWD forumula meaning it should all work out better in terms of gaining and losing rank.

                  There are 3 divisions to this ladder, Warbird/Javeling/Spider. All will be hosted in the same arena.
                  Idea: All boxes will be warbird boxes, but can be transformed into jav boxes because we will set the javs box tiles as doors that can be turned on and off.

                  It will be very similar to TWD in terms of gaining/losing rank and bot commands. Here are some new bot commands that will be included:

                  !challenge name:ship
                  !accept challengers_name
                  !setrules 2point nocount
                  - The challenger sets the rules (2point = If the game reaches 9-9 then it is NOT sudden death, players must win by 2 points. nocount = If both players kill each other at the same time then that point is not counted)
                  !duels - Show the current duels in progress, their scores and DuelID.
                  !rankreset ladder - You may reset your rank at any time, but may only use this command 5 times during each ladder.
                  !if name:ladder - This command is really nice, it will show you how many points you will gain/lose and what your future rank would be if you were to win + lose against a certain player. This is handy because you can plan out who you need to duel to get the highest rank in the fastest time.
                  !rank name - Straightforward, will give you the rating + rank of a player.

                  The rules have also been written out already.

                  The DuelBot will have a spawn detecting module that will NC the spawns, warn the player and spec him if he ignored the warning. A ladder ban will be issued if he is disqualified for spawning in 3 games in 1 week, or 10 games in the total length of the 1v1 league (in any division).

                  Like I said, I wont be playing Subspace/Continuum while I've got my job, but me and 2dragons will continue to design the structure of this league in the meantime

                      my idea for scoring was to have 10 points possible for both players. if the game ends 10-7 then they each get the points according to how many kills they got. player 1 - 10 pts player 2 - 7 points. a resolution to this would be a player reaches a certain point total to win. and if a game comes down to 9-9 then you have to win by 2

                        There can easily be fitted 25 tournament style boxes in any arena. Let's say you have 8 spider ones, 8 jav ones and 8 warbird ones + 1 central one a bit like in ?go duel. Now you customize the bot to handle multi box duels and TAH DAH! 1 bot handling up to 24 similtanious duels.

                        I know of a bot that handles up to 4 duels at one time no problem so I don't see why it can't be done here.

                          Will this be called TWEL? I suggest it shouldn't be considering that players might recollect on the past failure of TWEL...what could be another name?

                          TWSL (sparring league)
                          TWDL (dual, not duel, or is it the other way around?)
                          TWXL (XXXXTREEEEME LEAGUE)
                          TWSL (singles ladder)


                          suggestions?
                          Ну вот...

                              agreed, TWSL pwns

                              also Mef, i was thinkin about this, and what would the qualification requirements for the league be? we wouldnt want all 1000 people of TW to be in, would we? overloading the database isnt fun
                              Long range scanners indicate enemy activity in another quadrant, type ?GO to warp.
