Ladders

It is beyond me why people go around looking for 2 year old threads.
Just make a new one ... oh wait there are already multiple ones about this topic.

One might argue that, if a thread is "too old" to post to in, or there are known to be multiple similar threads, it should be locked.

Why does it matter?

I mean really, how does it affect the discussion in any way? I suppose you could argue that if the earlier discussion is no longer valid it could confuse a newcomer to the thread but that's not the case here. Can't see that this discussion would be in any way different had tatsu started a new thread, except of course we wouldn't have 6 posts about it being a necro.

I am just saying I personally would be way too lazy to dig up old threads. Having multiple threads on one topic isn't the end of the world usually.

I just find it amusing that over 90% of the time it's a Tatsu necro

That came across much grumpier than I intended sorry And perhaps I'm stuck in the past, but the idea of having multiple threads on one topic still brings back nightmare images of 6 threads suggesting shields/experimentals on the front page.

BACK ON TOPIC: I still think we should have some random symmetrical maps in the pool as well, especially if dev map making time is going to be split between 1v1 ladder and team ladder maps. You could even have a number of set maps and then a few slots for random maps of certain types, so say 10 set maps, then 1 random naval, 1 random orbital, 1 random lava type etc. So you end up with say 15 map 'slots', 5 of which are randomised. If the oft asked for map veto was introduced people who don't like random maps would only have to pay them occasionally. With the above formula it would already only be 1/3rd of ranked games even without a veto.

the things you read online.....



I don't think uber forums are a sane choice for my mental health anymore.

I need a place that promotes logic and reason.

I know how to use google search it's a clever trick nobody on this forum knows about or bothers to do.

And if you rely on the forum's search well ...... you'll start to think this forum is really small with noone really posting in it.

I agree, a slightly bigger 1v1 ranked map pool, including a small moon, a big planet and a random symmetrical planet, together with a veto system will be ideal.
