I moved back to using javascript:document.xxxxxx.

It works on our version of IE 5 here at the office (5.00.3314.2101). You should be good to go now. *mumbles to himself about people still using outdated browsers*

Looky here you city slicker, it takes time for new browsers to get to our next uh the woods. and for that last komment, ewe have been challenged! (works successfully, good job)

Exile,

Could you make it so that challenger picks aircraft for the duel?

like..

"Furious has challenged you to a duel in Fw-190a5's."

nope ... gonna stick with alternating plane choice.

Quote

Plane Selection: Identical planes are to be flown each flight. This includes fuel and armament. Plane choice will alternate each flight. Defender gets choice for flight 1, 3 and 5. Challenger gets choice for flight 2 and 4.

Just signed up. Maybe this will force me back into the looser category I was in before I left on my extended AH break.

hblair · « **Reply #56 on:** November 14, 2002, 08:14:19 AM »

You're the only one it'll let me challenge, which aint a good thing!

Exile · « **Reply #57 on:** November 14, 2002, 08:22:05 AM »

As it is now, you can't challenge someone if they are already involved in another challenge. You can only challenge up, so if everyone above you who is within challenge range is in a challenge, you have to wait. No way around that.

Your position on the ladder is not based on Kills, Deaths or K/d. It's based on you beating someone above you. If you win you move up. That is the only way to move up the ladder. That's the main reason there are penalties for non-Active players and players that repeatedly decline challenges.

Where will new pilots start out in the ladder? In the WB challenge ladder, they were in the middle. New pilots had a 0/0 win/loss so they were in the middle, pilots with a negative win/loss fell down. Pilots with the better win/loss were at the top ( I think he had it where if pilot A had won 8 duels and lost 2 and pilot B had won 4 and lost 1, then pilot A was ranked higher simply because of the nuber of duels he had won).

I liked the placement in the ladder being dependant on one's win/loss ratio.

New players start at the bottom and have to work their way up. You duel for the position, not a better rating. My last ladder was like that and we ran into situations where some people got so far ahead of others that there was no way to "de-throne" them so to speak.

Dueling for position prevents that from happening. No matter how good a record you have, if you lost a duel, you lost your position. Very simple approach, but I think it works nicely.
