Dang it, all this crap for nothing.
Ink is already doing a ladder. Noone can ask him to do another.
If you want another ladder, do it yourself. Who want to, that will join, who dont, that will stay out.
Remember, this dang game is all about the magical thing: "having fun" "spaß haben" nothing else. Whatever you do, the dirty things, the elitism has no friggen place here.
There was something wrong with the SDL: heck, half the squads left in a couple months! Learn from the mistakes, if you do them again, you can go digging forever. Remember, no event can survive what isnt a friendly one. Strict, but friendly.
Anyway. i hope it can be an other event, the ladder is just too much fun. Do it yourself, Yarbles. I might be a bit rude, dont let it scare you. Be consequent and you cant go wrong.
Best wishes.
