A good idea

[War4ever]

hm...if we could have a legit ladder i think people would be interested......

of course legit and ladder are never to be used in the same sentence....

[MalevolentLight]

How is this ladder not legit you stupid ****ing canuk? I hate stupid ****ing canuks.

[atawa]

Wow, another enlightning post from the master

[War4ever]

well the other thing to take into consideration is the different settings.... is the ladder x2x2king only?

if so, you know what polys response to that will be

if not, then as long as people dont cheat and that can be guarranteed, you may have some luck :b

[atawa]

As far as I can see poly plays 1x1x: Oz group, 2x1x: Rah group, 2x2x: most people not belonging to either group.

It's not settings ladder, agree on settings before play.

This will off course ean that when challenging someone who is higher ranked, you should play his settings probably.

But with different players this is a bopnus IMO

[War4ever]

i play all settings, the one i suck at the most (saving you a response SEAN) is x2x2king of course....

[DrSpike]

I think the 2 main camps will be 1x1x deity and 2x2x king (main camp). Either some preset compromise setting like 2x1x emperor will be played in the event of a dispute, or the ladder will, I fear, become solely 2x2x king.

This will off course [m]ean that when challenging someone who is higher ranked, you should play his settings probably.

Atawa:
Just a suggestion.

Why not try the reverse?

In the case of a difference in settings, have the higher ranked player accede to the lower.

This way the top ranked player has to be skilled in a variety of settings.

[War4ever]

good point obi wan......the council will accept you in time

[atawa]

Good point indeed, but what sounds good in theory will never happen in the real world.

Most likely the higher ranked player (with more points at stake) will then just refuse to accept the challenge.

See rule 8 of the 'greatest civ player rules' list.
