not finished yet. Please d not add profile or similar. I am gonna tell you when it is done )

But the good thing is that everyone can join/leave anytime. So the starting date is not really that important.

ok so we accept jaguar in now and start the ladder D?

We can accept Jaguar in... but not start the ladder yet ! ;)

Like I said before Ladder is "infinite". Players can join and leave whenever they want without having an effect on the standings. So we do not have to wait for a player )

Oh and btw If work permits it I will have it finished for the launch this weekend. Problem is that this is a brand new version of the module we have been using for MoR and basically on every test i encounter new bugs that need to be sorted out with the coder. Hopefully most of them have been ironed-out so far.

so it seemed to me the module on MoR had a feature where it would give players differnt points depending on performance in the game... will this work in a similar way or will the ELO rating system replace the old rating system?

I assume that you mean the "rating" system in MoR.
This rating system was just a secondary criteria. The league position was determined by points mainly (3 for a victory) and only when two or more teams had equal points the rating kicked in.

But MoR was a league. The league system doesn't work well for a ladder (as we had to find out later). Too many problems with challenge-restrictions and a not very usable points system. An Elo ladder system is much more suited for 1v1 ladders as it

    - Allows for an infinite competition
    - Players can join and leave anytime
    - Points depend on the opponent you beat so you won't have the "only play low rank players and still get the same amount of points" problem )

Ladder is more or less funstional already (A RoL section can be added easily when demanded). I just have not found the time yet to create some proper instructions. I I really can only recommend starting the ladder when you know how to do it. Hopefully I'll have some spare time soon.

well its changed since then but proably not worth installing it yesterday i logged on and only saw 5 people on(lol) , this is how the races stand vinci is still the best race there is almost no way my alin units can catch up to the speed of piratas, they do drive by shooting like crazy, cuotl and alin are kinda even this all changes when u play people wiht diferent skills but no matter what u will always lose more games to a vinci pro than you will agaisnt an alin or cuotl pro. for cuotl units i think only death snakes and sun idols are slow , when i play with them my army mainly consists of jaguars and i dont consider them slow. And the competition had also faded not many good players left to play with.

rol peak times are 40 lol, but most of the time there are only 20-25 players, whent 5 players are online i guess is logging on after 12.00 am,
btw the races are balanced and cuotl seems a bit stronger now, they can beat vinci ( i dont mean that cuotl are better than vinci, imo cuotl=vinci) and, alin with out problems, now most of the players play cuotl or alin, i hardly have a vinci mirror... sad
