zappsweden Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 RULES FOR THE SC WORLD CHAMPION LADDER SIGN UP: Sign up by replying in this topic. Example: "player xxx signs up to the ladder" RETIRE: Retire by replying in this topic. Example: "player xxx retires from the ladder" NAMES: Your forum name and ladder name must be the same. A GAME: All games are TCP/IP games based on the 1939 Fall Weiss scenario with the latest patch (1.06). The standard rules apply i.e fow on, all options on except siberian wars. Random politics on. Cash handicap levels apply according to the following bid system. THE BID SYSTEM: The bid system for games in this ladder is the newly invented "UK+USA+Russia cash handicap system". UK+USA+Russia System: The handicap level is a cash amount bonus for those THREE countries EACH. The highest bidder gets Axis and the other player gets Allied with the cash bonus level added to UK AND USA AND Russia. Example: Player A posts on the opponent forum: "SC ladder game" Player B replies "I bid 100 MPP. Player A replies "accepted" (ofcourse he could have raised the bid instead). Player B will get Axis since he bid the highest bid. The host (either A or modifies and saves a new scenario (based on the 1939 Fall Weiss scenario) so that USA gets 100 MPP bonus AND UK gets 100 MPP bonus AND Russia gets 100 MPP bonus. That means that the HOST will 1) Start the campaign editor 2) Open Campaign (1939 Fall Weiss.cgn). 3) Edit campaign data by setting the UK+USA+Russia MPP on the bid level (in this case 100 MPP). 4) Saving the scenario as "handicap", "test" or something. 5) The host starts SC TCP/IP and picks the newly created scenario. If no player wants to bid or only bids 0 MPP the game can be played with the original 1939 Fall Weiss scenario instead i.e no campaign editor will be needed. Axis DOW USA rule: Axis may NOT declare war against the USA since a bug will then robb the USA of their cash handicap bonus. If Axis declares war against USA they have lost and Allies can claim the win. Why would Axis declare war against USA anyway? THE RANKING SYSTEM: If a player beats a higher ranked player they will change place in the ranking, but a player can never advance or lose more than 4 places in one game. The ranking list is changed so that the loser get downgraded first and then the winner gets upgraded. Exception, the Champion (ranked 1) and his opponent will NOT be affected by the ranking system if the opponent is ranked 6 or worse. This is because the players number 2-5 are the challengers and only THEIR games against the champion are CHAMPIONSHIPS. Example: player A (ranked number 3) loses against player B (ranked number 13). Player A will go down to rank 7 and player B will go up to rank 9 CHAMPION/CHALLENGER/REST OF PLAYERS: When both challengers and other players want a game against the champion then the challengers should have the priority. Also, the Challengers on rank 4 and 5 should feel an obligation to let some of the highest other players (rank 6, 7, 8, 9) to have a shot at getting up to the Challenger status. REPORTING A GAME: The loser reports with a reply here on this topic. example: GoodGuy (Axis) won against BadGuy (Allies) with a 50 MPP handicap level. COMPLAINT: If someone forgets to report a game then remind him. If that does not help then post a complaint. UPDATES: I will update the ranking whenever I want to, but propably on a weekly basis or more often. INACTIVITY: Any player that does not do at leist one ladder game every new month will lose 5 places in the ranking system. This ladder started in Januari so when February begins, inactive players will be degraded. LOST OF CONNECTION: Ending your turn when the opponent has inactive window might cause lost connection. If u experience lost connection you should use a confirm system before ending your turn. Send a colon ":" and let the opponent reply before you end the turn.

Hueristic Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 We have a game to continue. Are you ready? Turn on you IM system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Zap --- Nice idea, & simple. I don't need to be a language lawyer to figure this out. The only thing I need to know: How do you set-up the "bid-game"? Is there some download scenario or something. Please advise. ************************************************ The Legend will be home 8:00 pm Forum time for a game today (Tuesday). Who wants to play? Post a message here, with any requests of side or your bid! ************************************************ Everybody starts fresh, can't live off old victories. Just keep track of your games w/ bids, & the opponent. Everybody will watch for "trends" if you keep beating up the same guy, or pulling some BS. ZAP --- DON'T FORGET TO POST HOW I DO THE BID SCENARIO THING. Also, we need a name for your system/competition. Like "World Cup Standings", "Power Rankings", "AP/UPI Top-25", etc. Think of something cool. Zap, if you pull this off & finally get some charisma, you might become the 3rd Legend behind myself & JerseyGiantJohn. Sign me up. I deleted my top-25 as not to confuse the issue. Zapp has the board. [ January 14, 2003, 07:55 PM: Message edited by: jon_j_rambo ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
