TWLM is alive!

[Ardour]

TWLM goes live! http://twl.trenchwars.org/twlm/index.php

Please note: As the twl website was in development when TWLM was made, the rosters arent populated automatically. So currently they arent all correct.
So basically, when buying players for your team, its up to you to check the twl website rosters for the teams to see if a player can actually start or not!
Some players might not be on the correct squad. In my haste to finish the twlb side for the release, Ive not yet rechecked rosters for about a weeks worth of players changing squads. If you buy a player that should be on a different squad, when I realise they are on the wrong squad, they will be set to the correct one and it wont affect your team.

LB player values were decided completely on twd statistics. I thought this would be nicer to see something there rather than a boring 300 for every single player. Feel free to moan about your values! They cant be changed now as it will affect cash of users that have bought them already, but its healthy for you to let out your feelings. Please email all value related moaning to ArdyCares@4you.com and I will reply with as much sympathy as I can muster!

Any actual errors you find, please contact me via emails through these forums. Lets not clutter the TWLM forum with "this wont work! bla bla bla" related threads. Although I cant stop you from doing so.

I did originally say that there wouldn't be a twlb section on release however since I made that post, Ive been working on it and got it up! Ive not yet done the statistics related pages for lb so expect them to pop up sometime after today. I hope you all enjoy TWLM! Any queries please contact me.

One final thing: the betting section looks horrible atm. integers too long, when a match is in scheduling it shows all 0's for date and time... Il make this look more pleasing, promise!

i just noticed something thats pretty important actually

players arn't on the right squads and rosters are not updated.... also what happens to people that get on twl roster late?

for instance, i went to buy peru from squad Rape, and he was not on the roster, he was on pirates roster....

also i joined rape late, so am not on twl roster til thursday, so will i be updated when i join or no? is there a way to tie twlm rosters up to twl website?

You've heard my praise in chat, but you'll hear it again, this is really awesome of you Ardour. Going to sign up and work my roster as soon as I can.

[kthx]

I agree Ardour, this site is great, me and a few of my old squaddies talked for about an hour about the different combinations of bets, players, and stock we were buying. I am looking forward to TWLM this year, thanks for the time you spent making it.

[Turban]

Now I hope I made the right choice by investing tons of my TWLM money on the Stocks..

*crosses fingers*

[PjOtTeR]

It's just stupid to have combined all leagues together... since you can choose where to invest your money... you should've kept them seperate imho...

Also the betting for MVP's has low odds... REALLY low odds...
Like even the players that wouldn't even get played ever and even if they'd get played they'd never MVP get a best odds off 10:1 payed out:invested...

If like a player is likely to MVP he gets 3:1 odds... which is pretty high odds if you look at it like that, although it's pretty low if you put it against the fact that they might not show, or that he is 1 out of 10 or 16 players that could MVP...

The only way you would ever bet for MVP is if you are pretty sure some1 is gonna show in a match their squad is almost certainly gonna win, while that guy MVPs a lot... You can never guess on a guy that might MVP but is likely not going to, because the odds do not support it at all...

Also, how are the stocks calculated for squads that play multiple leagues?
Since a squad like sweet has a stockvalue of 1907 while playing 1 league while disoblige for example has a stockvalue of 1537... And is the value of the stock increasing depending of just win or loss, or on how big the win is? Also, can 1 league squads increase as much as 3 league squads? and thus can they lose as much? In other word how are you calculating it?

I'm third most expensive warbird in Pirates roster. Why's that? Were the prices in TWLD and TWLJ also decided on TWD statistics?

[kthx]

I was a little curious about that, but then again it never made sense for me to even try in basing or javelins because I don't know anything about them. The fact that I can toss all my money into warbirds and still have a chance at winning overall makes it more interesting to me.

[PjOtTeR]

There never was an overall before, why make it overall... in general the idea is nice but it's worked out really really bad imho, yet probs for bringing it up and I'll figure out what the best things to bet on or put your money in for are...

[kthx]

Well im going to rape you this season pjotter, I am like top 1 warbird analyst in tw.

[Dwopple]

most bought for lb?

[Lag.Com]

uh, bets on LB are showing up as 'Javelin' in the 'Current Bets' list

[Dreamwin]

uh, bets on LB are showing up as 'Javelin' in the 'Current Bets' list

Same with lb-mvp's

[PaulOakenfold]

Couple of questions about the money distribution:
$1500 for your Dueling team.
$1500 for your Javelin team.
$2000 for your Basing team.
$1500 for buying shares.
$500 for betting.

Right now I have over $3000 in shares, are you allowing this? It's probably a bug, but will I be penalized for it come Sunday, or are you going to fix it and disallow this by then? $500 for betting, but we can only bet 8 times, even by putting in $50 on each bet we can only spend $400.

The stock market:
Obviously they change depending on how many people buy them, but if that's the case, then the people who signed up and made their teams first got a much bigger advantage than the rest. How are the values for the stocks going to be calculated? What are they based on? Can they go up even if the team loses? If so, Deleria is a great buy if they can get any sensible amount of kills, but if they just lose value when they continue to lose, what's the point? Are three league squads going to be calculated for each league, making their values fluctuate much more than 1 or 2 league squads, or are there constraints given to them? I guess I could just wait it out until the week is over and see for myself, but could you give us any hints as to what will be calculated?
