Ok, you now need to master killing a equal foe without stall fighting!

True that. 

[TequilaChaser]

I am curious as to what Fess proposes for the setup.

Planes?

Number of duels?

Schedule?

I admit to being interested.   Could be a good learning experience.

Heya Vraciu,

FESS, as far as I know has not set any rules or requirements, etc into stone yet, he only made possible suggestions from what I read in his opening posts......

FESS, here is a link to the Dueling Ladder software, that Saurkraut used back when he hosted the Aces High Dueling Ladder/League for the Aces High Community for like 3 or so years back around like 2003/04 thru I think 2006/07.... ( my mind fades on the actual dates )

link to the software: http://mygamingladder.com/ladder.shtml  ( Home Website: http://www.mygamingladder.com/ )

I myself had purchased a copy of this ( which is a lifetime license, btw ) back I think around spring time of 2012, and was going to let Ink and Shane use it in the DFC club......... I had to go find my license info again, and now I will prob have to call or email the company since I had spme computer trouble that lost everyting........

This ladder is exactly what you ned to make this thing work, and make it to where everyone is on equal playing terms at registration......

shoot me a pm if you got any questions, or anything.......

This  setup, that SauKhraut ( of Dux and Ghosth's 332nd squadron ) hosted, at one time had nearly 85 different players signed up........ and everyone went my the way the rules were laid out, and noone ever balked at anything........

if I recall correctly, Skuzzy ( HTC ) even had set up the Dueling Ladder's on seperate forum here on the BBS, but it faded out during the switching of the versions  from AH to AH2, iirc


Hope This Helps

Thanks TC,

I think at this early stage I am really just trying to gauge interest.  Hard to do that through all the noise in the thread now, but that noise does pretty much sum up why I think the ladder would be a good thing - take the fights into the game and less on the boards.

Will look at the into you posted.  Thanks again.

A one night dueling event like Junky mentioned might be a good idea. It's hard to get a lot of people to join in one night, buts even harder to get a group of people to set times to duel during the week. I too disliked the amount of drop outs, and also the ego building it created throughout the month. I think a dueling night that is regulated, like KoTH, would work the best.

Are you guys seeking a night full of true "duels," or just 1v1 fights? I personally like the nights where a bunch of decent sticks get fed up with the MA and pick a field in the DA and go at it 1v1... We generally try to keep it reasonably fair, but different planes are fine, different fuel is fine, somewhat different energy states are fine, etc..

All it really takes to keep it civil is for winners to acknowledge if they started with an advantage and losers to acknowledge the winners did a nice job of keeping it.

I think the more structured you make it, the less interesting it is.

I'm all about those informal nights in the DA, I was just talking about if there was an interest in a formal dueling ladder again I think that would be the best way to do it.

[Bruv119]

the last DFC ladder was working ok but it did suffer from guys missing time slots etc and backing out of fights they knew they wouldn't win.

I just say come along to KOTH you will be surprised with the sportsmanship and laid back atmosphere.  I can't really play as host, so won't dominate everyone and it really does give the best of both worlds in dueling / MA furball experience.

Friday KOTH will be held Friday, 22nd July at 3pm EDT,  8pm BST, 9pm CET in the SEA II arena.
 
Saturday KOTH will be held 23rd July at 3pm EDT, 8pm BST, 9pm CET in the SEA II arena.

If the event is short then we could always have some practice fun afterwards.

So just show up to KOTH or do we have to RSVP?

I believe this is more like what Fess originally was getting at...we did this the night of the post...We moved over a little late and didn't spend a whole lot of time there but what we did have was great...it is always good to fight and have feed back during the fight.... prolongs the fights and teaches small nuances that you may be overlooking when fighting in the bustle (when there is bustle in our time zone) of the MA... these impromptu are always great fun...and as the person who was asked to join us but chose not to would find....we are all the same in reality....

just show up before start.

KOTH is the place to see where you stack up and to get better. Many sticks have thought they were succesfull fighter sticks until they came in there and figured out they can get a lot better....and if you're willing to learn, they're plenty that attend KOTH who will help you out with ACM.....especially in 1v1 fighting. Sooner or later you will end up winning a round and after that we'll be chasing you around as a wabbited until you get that first win. It is by far the most challenging thing to do when a bunch of the regulars are in there but if friendly competition is what you are looking for...KOTH is where you should be.
