Hi all, thanks for the input regarding the Challenge rules, appreciate it! Do note to keep your emotions controlled in topic, as this is the first time we have the problem with it since the rules were set 3 months plus ago, and the first time that the top 3 ranked Melee are so actively involved in duels with each other. The Admins will definitely take your comments in when considering changes to solve this loophole in the current Challenge system, so please be patient as well, thanks!


Greniator has requested to be removed from Admin list due to insufficient time to carry out his Admin duties. Thanks for all the help thus far bro!
Pheyd has requested to be removed from the Ladder due to real life issues. Take care!

And i also have a pending challenge with kevinpatrick..
But he isnt answering me.

Will let you know on october 2, as i will be winner if he doesnt ask back (dodge?).

Hengster : He wants to brg his second melee char in this ladder (his zealer), so he is at spot 35 with his zealer, but #31 with his conc.. Dunno how can we manage that.

Yes bro, that is correct, as u followed the correct procedure to pm him, and posted the Challenge in topic, so 3 days after u post in topic u will win via Dodge rule if he doesn't reply or complete the Challenge.

Thx mate, things are fixed.
Im afk till october 2 i guess hehe.. waiting for him.

The drama in this thread needs to end now. This is my only verbal warning to any of you, if it persists you will be removed from the ladder. I will look into what has happened and get back to you heng just give me a few mins to check back a few pages.

Yeah but it always has to be the same way. It was suggested a long time ago on tges melee ladder that the top 5 or so must challenge 1 rank above but it was ruled against. At first I was in favor of it, but say the top few were always in stalemates with each other then it would just create a very inactive top ladder so I changed my mind based on that argument. And because I was always #1 I would have been very bored always redueling the same person over and over until he just stopped challenging. This way more people get a shot at #1 and it keeps things more active. Not to mention if they're able to defeat #1 they should have been able to get by #2 anyway so it's kind of a moot point.



I'm discussing that rule with heng and kind of agree with you that it should just be that the challenger cannot rechallenge the same person within the time period. That being said, you were an admin so you should have known the rules for the ladder and respected them. There are pm boxes for a reason. Next time you need to control yourself and just pm one of the other admins about issues like this. Spamming this thread and removing yourself from admin is completely the wrong way to go about it.
