summland Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Club or league play would really help out. With Axis and Allies, it ensured a game whenever you wanted one, make a consistent rating system, and generally made the game more competitive and games more reliable. Using the chess ratings system is a good way of keeping rates. So, has anyone attempted this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Cool idea; I'm in, schedule pending that is. Stuff like work, life, & family comes first. Let me know the rules, times, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zappsweden Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 We could make a ladder too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashblade Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 ladder / league play would be great. I don't think I have time to run a full site. But I could probably help out on the web programming side if someone else wants to run it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daystrom Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Great idea! I have a Sun Ultra 10 not doing much of anything I could donate for the effort. There may be one issue however. It is located at a local university microelectronics lab where I work part of the time. The lab is partly funded by the NRC and if the funding ever goes away (possible with fickle Canadian govt. agencies) then so does the lab bandwidth. I will look into this tomorrow. I know the current mandate _should_ have the place running till next fall. I will do some more checking. I have a virgin install of OpenBSD 3.2 on the box now (Apache, PHP, MySQL) so it would be quite suitable. CVS is also on the box and can be used for revision control. I can also donate some coding time, but I wont have a terrible amount of it until early December (when a major project deadline and code freeze goes into effect here at work). So, someone (else) start designing this thing eh? Anyone interested in working on this can contact me. My address is in my details. cheers, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82ndReady Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Has anyone thought of creating a signup program and rating system that could be intergrated into the Forum yet??? This would be great and could help with our new SC owners who are intrested in joining the Forum playing arena! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summland Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 If you want to see how a good ratings system works go to: www.balance-of-power.com or www.spring1942.com These are the two premier axis and allies clubs. Something like this would explode the SC "community". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
