Hey I have suggestion to grow what ever it is you are talking about. Stop using acronyms(I mean what does CLOT even stand for?), and stop using inside jokes about player's who I have never played. These things create a barrier to entry. If you want midtier players like me to even take an interest in your thing, I need to understand what the thing is that you are talking about. You have a video for me to click, that's great, but why would I watch a 14 minute for a ladder I know nothing about, especially when this site already has a functioning ladder that suites my needs fine. I don't mean to sound like an asshole. I am more just saying, I've been playing for a year and half, and this is the first time I've taken an interest, because I have never understood what it is you are talking about. What is CLOT?

CLOT: Custom Ladder Or Tournament. Basically a ladder that is made by players and not Warlight.
MDL: Multi-Day Ladder. There are real-time ladders and multi-day ladders.

The next question that I would need answered is why should I care about MDL? What value do I get from joining MDL? Again not meaning to sound offensive or insulting. I am sure MDL is a great thing, and it is ran well.

I guess what I am saying is if you want people to join your ladder, I believe your posts should clearly state what this thing is you are advertising. I would like to see something like this as a post:

"The Multiday Ladder (MDL) is ladder created by users of Warlight as an attempt to do [fill in the blank]. We believe this ladder is an improvement on the site's ladders for [blank reasons]. It is ran like [insert quick summary of how it works]. If you would like more information about this ladder or how to join please watch the following video:[insert link]."
Again not trying to insult anybody, this is just my opinion, formed via my own expirence.

The Multi-day Ladder thread pretty much covers all that. But here's the simple version: The Multi-Day Ladder is a 1v1 ladder with a bunch of templates, really high average player quality, reliable maintenance and updates, and an overall setup that stays exciting much longer than the 1v1 ladder manages to. You can also play more games at once.

Basically, you take the 1v1 ladder and add in all the popular improvements that people have been suggesting for years, and you get the Multi-Day Ladder. So it's worth your time because it actively tries to be, unlike the official ladders.

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the MDL
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser

See yourself
You are the strategies you take
You and you, and that's the only way

Convert, convert yourself
You're every move you make
So the turn goes...

The problem is this site is full of lonely assholes that feel the need to tear each other down and degrade one another because this one went to MIT or that one has a boat. It's ridiculous male bravado that is turning anyone who could give two shits off!

No one sees the value in the ladder or the forums because of the seething hatred coming from the posters.

Imagine if we all supported each other or pretended to care what the other had to say.
Imagine if we acted like a community instead of a bunch of lone wolf's fighting over scraps.

I'd say for shame, but you'd take it as an attack.

Everybody agreeing is definitely worse.

Not sure why this thread turned into giving knyte abuse, he doesn't deserve it and it doesn't look good for anyone reading this thread.

This point from joey I think sums it up nicely. This ladder will have the biggest appeal to people who have already played and burnt out on the 1v1 ladder. Trying to attract people who haven't done that yet is alot trickier.

I've been playing for a year and half, and this is the first time I've taken an interest, because I have never understood what it is you are talking about.

Any ladder (that uses a ranking system and a code for matching closely-ranked players) has the potential to contribute to your Warlight gaming skills.

This one, Master of the Dead's multi-day ladder (why not "multi-template ladder", by the way?), is different than most of the other ladders associated with Warlight, because of the number of 1v1 templates being used, almost all being really good, fun to play and meaningful: The number is 40 something - it is a high number, for sure. And there's a good variety.

Being an average WL player who gets bored easily with a certain template, MDL is something I was long waiting for. Frankly speaking, I was dreaming of something along this line (if I was a coder, I'd definitely do it myself). The high number of templates doesn't discourage or intimidate me at all - because as I see it, the point is not getting better in a number of templates but getting better in a number of skills. This is made possible on MDL thanks to the variety in templates. On top of this, some good players (e.g., ps and Master of the Dead) really spend a lot of energy and time on giving hints about the templates and overall gameplay - check the YouTube videos ps posts for instance.

In short, to answer why anyone should anyone be interested in the MDL: Skills come first, that's why (they're more important than winrates). And skills are improved by balancing critically repeated practice with challenging your skills in variety of situations. MDL is promising especially in this respect. It really awards you, especially if you are eager and ready to spend some time on Warlight to improve yourself.

Cool stuff, too bad it's 2k17 and wl is not hip anymore

First post in 2017 which literally made me laugh out loud.

Yeah, but we don't and we are, so why bother?
