I'm wondering how stupid is this thread, on a scale of 1 to 10. Probably 13.

Cheating should be punished properly. If the problem is dealt with, maybe the game would grow more and I wouldn't have to wait such a long time to get a game going. The community seems kind of tiny, to be honest.

I'm not really sure how small or large it actually is, but I am definitely surprised that a game with this many multiplayer opportunities isn't more "together." It is a very isolated and insular community, as best as I can tell.

It does feel a bit as if some people have a huge need to compensate for something by reaching a rank on a ladder.

Until a few days ago, I wasn't even aware that there is such a thing as ladder cheating. Most things one has to do for it (like leaving ladder and rejoining it once the desired opponent finished a game) are pretty stupid and way too annoying to do. Same goes for stalling games.

Why can't people just have fun playing a great browser game? Instead people make a sport of using loop holes in order to reach an imaginary rank in some pretty unimportant game.
I don't understand why anyone would invest even a second of thought into that.
But I also don't understand why this behaviour is worth such a bitching. Yeah, ladder stalling is annoying, but there are enough other games to play. The rank one can reach is just some number on a website. So what? It doesn't matter.
Things would be way easier if everyone got their poo together and at least try to behave like adults.

Hell is my alt

We already sent our best dog (who is a good dog? --> you are!) to sniff for leads. There was no lead pointing in your direction nor in the direction of another Wolf member. Our most promising lead points to a member of a clan which used to be big but now is small.

Faisal (sorry but I can't type in the appropriate script atm), its not about who I have met. It is about who I have not met.

In other words, I am really frustrated by the huge number of games I've been in that have been decided by boots. Why do you think my 1v1 record looks as stellar as it does? Lord knows I'm nowhere near as good as that percentage belies. Additionally, it seems like every multi-day team game I join is ultimately decided by who continues to log in. I'd join a clan, but most clans won't even consider someone this new, so all I can do is rack up the boot wins until I meet some magical threshold that then makes me eligible to apply.


Whether it is the fault of the design warlight.net as a whole, the actual games themselves, or the community and the individuals it is composed of, this is not an inclusive community.

I mean many of the mega clans would probably accept you.

@Dogberry:

If you are interested then feel free to apply for M'Hunters. I assess the skill levels of our potential recruits and I don't care about levels but only about OK play according to my strategy guide (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NyhCpIQKShAbWGXicO_ph9whV_UyMS-3a7_re0C7R8Y/edit?pref=2&pli=1#heading=h.g1s8mzy7wor0) (what should translate to ladder ranks of <= 150).

We aim for competitive, chatty and very fair play, as Jaymer has pointed out, refering to following game: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=10147864

If AI has failed to uphold our maxim then we certainly don't approve his behavior however we are a very tolerant clan which only in the rarest cases kicks active members. As my clan mates surrendered in the linked game they did it knowing that this would make both their opponents and themself happy. I don't care about the opening poster slandering M'Hunters reputation but find his attempt rather amusing. I also didn't kick Nogals out of our clan as he called me out as a racist in our clan forums and this certainly wasn't because I approve getting insulted. I'm no weak King jong il who has to secure his power by kicking out potentially dangerous members. M'Hunters is the clan of the free people.

If they cheat on CL, the player will be banned there. Ladder cheating should be adressed by Fizzer.

Why target CL and not ALL leagues?

Morality : just get booted if you play against a MH ^^. I dont agree with that surrender.

Hell's thread reminds me a lot of Knyte's thread. Trying to get someone bullied by the community. Are they the same person ? Hmm.

Anyway, AI is claimed to be a cheater in this thread. Can we quote where it says having 2 accounts in the ladder is cheating ? And still, does that automatically means he is cheating ? I interpret cheating as manipulating rules to get an advantage on opponent. But to me, it seems AI just wanted to reach the highest possible rank, with any account. I doubt he created a second account with the intention to serve the interest of the other one (which would be indeed cheating).

AI is skilled enough to be able to compete for top ranks without cheating, and his rank(s) is deserved - on top of sounding like a nice guy and anything but a fraudulent or bad person. So please, he is trying to reach the top rank via 2 accounts. He had to face himself in 1 game. Deal with it. Nothing wrong here, move on.

Two teams (a team of 1 is still a team) on the ladder IS cheating. It is in the rules somewhere and is not debatable. You can debate other things in his thread but not that.

Mike are you a politician?

OOOhhh! If u wanna c Mhunters go DOWN, u can wathch me fite der champin in a 1v1!!!! Luk for da thredde in da forums. WACOS r not cheeters lieyke dese kids, so evn if we loose, we are gudder sports

Plat no but I missed a career as lawyer. lol

Semice are you talking about my assumption ?

I could tell Mike.. I could tell...

Mike has a real point, though- Niklas knowingly gained an unfair advantage in the 1v1 ladder, but it's also not that huge of an issue to the level that Hell makes it out to be.

Dude, we are the Master Hunters not the "shoot blindly in the wrong direction hunters".
