what does 'expired' mean? booted?

They are too old, and do no longer count in your rating. (The limit is 5 months I believe, so to stay ranked you need 20 games within that time slot.)

buns is just a very good player and a gentleman.
there will be alywas envy if someone is in the first place for a longer period.

If u want to get the first place from buns - just dont lose your games and beat him.

He is just playin one game - it is ok - he has earned his spore.

I remember that buns was the only guy who congrats tyrion lannister as he was on 1st for some days. the other posts were just envy. buns won his throne back without crying like a little girl or find excuses.

@TBest, you need to be playing 30+ games at a single time to gain the option to have 1 game at a time(that's how I'm doing it anyway)

Not true. Buns157 is currently in only 20 MD games and still has this option.

You need to have 30 unexpired games on the ladder

Buns isn't cheating the ladder, if he has the option of playing one game at the time, he should use it lol... It's hard to focus many games at the time on the ladder, if playing one game at the time might be a bit abusive to other players if he'd lose to others otherwise.

Seriously, he'd harder lose to you if he played 2, 3, 4 or even 5 games at the time, so this complaining has no sense. Playing one game at the time isn't cheating, it's just being a turtle, a thing he is (go and check his clan page ppl!!).

He's playing 20 multi-day games right now, so that argument is obviously invalid. If he were autistic or something and could only focus on one thing at a time, sure but that's obviously not the case. Well, he may be autistic, I don't know, but he can clearly focus on 20 things at once just fine.

Hmmm, idk if you aren't smart or you're just ignoring the facts. Ladder games are way harder then normal games; usually I don't give much of a shit to normal games and focus at 100% only a few games, mostly ladder games and tournaments I have commited to.

So I have myself 5 games top I really play to win, and the rest are just stuff I'm on. Am I autistic too then?

Also, TBest, you made a perfect run, how the fuck you're rated 8th??? Even with poor opponents that shouldn't have happened...

His highest rated opponent is barely rated over 2000. His rating seems fair, but really we have no way of knowing until he plays other people who are actually at or near the top of the ladder.

Am I autistic too then?

Sounds like something you should be asking a doctor.

This thread is Cancer Autism.

love how some people have no clue what expired games means. if you're playing (and complaining about) the ladder the least you could do is read the wiki where it's rating and ranking system is described.

love how some people have no clue that expecting every player to know every detail of everything on Warlight is ridiculous.

Dunning and Kruger said hi.

Love how you don't know any major details before complaining Billy, truly a great scholar, given the games you posted before in the forum.

Lots of players have fun games, or chat games, and the like, so it might easily not be 20 real multiday games. Even then, if even a significant portion of those are ladder games or other relatively serious material, I can see why he would reduce the number of games. Granted, you can stall a little bit at the top with just a single game, but you don't gain very much from this since you won't get more until you finish. I'm not autistic, just scatterbrained (why is that an insult?) and I have issues with consistency so I can really only play one set of games (3-5 max) at one time relatively well. The rest are clearly subpar. I don't see the issue with him reducing games to focus on them better. If Buns is going at a steady clip of 8 games/2 months, thats 1 game a week, which seems a pretty decent pace in my opinion for a ladder.

There are other people who clearly stall, Buns is fine.

Speaking of Dunning and Kruger, your highest listed rank is 15th, a tad surprising given some of the games you demonstrated before. Many people commenting here have climbed higher on ladders than you, or outright won on their posting accounts or alts. Apparently I should take all of their opinions over yours from what you imply. Thanks for reinforcing my current opinion. :D

(unless ofc you are more experienced than that, in which case you should really have known about expired games, given you seem to be taking advantage of them, and are just playing dumb.)

(here's what I am talking about - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect . Presumably Billy means the same thing, though he already missed a number of high rankers on this thread.)

i don t understand where is the problem!!
we have the opportunity to play one game at a time and he does. nothing to say, he does what he wants

^ exactly.

If "manipulating" the ladder selon Billy Walsh should be forbidden, the option to play one game at a time shouldn't even have been here in the first place.
