That's a little over the top, it's not meant to be so serious, it's a game and that should not be forgotten...the spam does need to stop, and if there are any problems or concerns, they should be pm'd to me or Jeff...I'm not sure why you think the rules are being made up, these are the same rules used in the Pn thread...With the exception that this is a non-tap ladder...

Let's try to keep it clean, and have fun...ask for help, keep the thread clean and pm us instead...

If your admin, you have to act so serious. It's your job to take care of your ladder. If you can't be serious then no point making this ladder because you have to put your foot down. I do it all the time Eh...Past few yrs on ladder, well every ladder season we used steve rules but we change it daily. We always used Sirsteve1 rules and not Pn rules because ladder is ment to be diffent and not like non ladder which is mostly about pn rules.

Look at this. This how you run complete ladder ladder This was Sirsteve1 rules, it's way differnt then others. It's pretty amazing tbh like theres a LVL cap at 97 or 98 it hink since no botters like 99 users cannot join. this was few yrs ago btw lol.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I still disagree. The only difference between the rules you linked and the rules we have is the level cap, and back when that level cap was implemented, Uber bots were in full swing, so getting 99 was easy. It's not so easy any more. I'm not even sure how that relates to the current issue at hand any way, as there hasn't even been a discussion on levels of chars yet.

The problem is with people abusing the dodge rule to try and take that time to improve their gear. This is what's unacceptable. I don't feel it's necessary to pm Jsp mods over our little ladder issues, that's just silly. I also don't feel the need to run this ladder like I'm some kind of dictator. There should be an inherent sense of pride and respect when you sign up for the ladder, as well as some maturity, but ultimately it's a game and it's supposed to be fun. Things aren't so bad that I need to start removing people and yelling at everyone, but rather remind everyone here that they need to honor their challenges, and try to accept them in a timely fashion.

It's pretty simple really, either everyone will agree and start to accept the rules and start to actually accept the challenges, or they won't. I'm not here to be anyone's boss or daddy. I do want the thread kept clean for challenges only, any more discussion on this needs to be taken privately.


I will most likely ask mods to close this and reopen once more, and give this one more chance. I will probably modify the 3 day dodge rule as well. This is what I am thinking. A challenge must be sent via pm first. Once you accept that challenge, you must be able to duel with in 24 hours. If you can not accept the challenge, you have 48 hours to accept, or forfeit your spot. I understand that not everyone lives on Jsp, so if you can not accept the challenge due to legitimate reasons, you can ask for an extension. So this is how we will interpret the rule. If you pm someone to challenge, they have 24 from the time the pm is sent to reply. Either accepting and working out a time frame within 24 hours of accepting the challenge to duel. This should help eliminate those procrastinating. If you can not accept the challenge, you will be given 48 hours to accept, providing a reasonable excuse as to why you accept. This will essentially still be 3 days, with just some modifications. 24 hours to accept/reply - 48 hours to extend, with 24 hours after accepting before dodge is applied.

Some example scenarios:

Person A challenges Person B @ 3:30Pm EST on Friday the 11th.

Person B then has 24 hours from 3:30Pm EST to accept, or request extension and provide reasonable excuse for extension.

If accepted, Person B has 24 hours (from the time accepted) to meet with Person A and duel.

If requesting 48 hour extension, once the 48 hours is up, either a set time has already been scheduled and agreed upon, or the dodge rule then goes into effect, and you forfeit your position.

This puts the max cap to 3 days (if person A waits until 24 hour to reply and asks for 48 hour extension = 3 day).

But at the same time it makes it 24 hours before dodge is applied if challenge is not accepted, or replied to.


How does this sound?

24h to accept challenge is kindda tight, its means u have to log on every day (even if its the case for most of us....).

but its up to you.
