Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while. Ladle is round robin, swiss-style. It works, sort of, but it does tend to result in longer tournaments. I think we've long surpassed the window for throwing Tron at schools, the original idea was to get schools more focused on IT no? They now teach progr...

Is there a part of the config missing? I just popped in there and there were no zones, no teams, etc. I opened a second client and forced multiplayer mode to be sure, same thing.

Your default map is a square. You can use different maps, and to do so you will need either "include" or "rinclude". The first requires a whole URI, whereas the second defaults to the standard resource location (resource.armagetronad.net). To use them in an ad-hoc match, enter th...

Results of Deso's poll:
Ladle remains a 6v6 tournament, and this month we are repeating the Swiss tournament system using Challonge.

Honestly, bo1 still doesn't sound like a good time to me. Mostly because teams often like to switch players or player positions between games, or change tactics to improve their odds. Shortening the round removes that option, IMO if we do this we're just going to face the same problem as we have bee...

I don't like the idea of a bo1 tourney at all, tbh. Frankly, it's too close to Ladle to vote on the format for 120 (as it's less than a week until the tournament), so I would propose we keep the current challonge format for L120 with the votes in this thread being for L121. Our last few ladles have ...

My most recent point was regarding the scoring system. I proposed an adjusted system like so: A win gains 10 points A draw gains 5 pointes each A loss gains Nothing A bye gains 7 points Titan asked why, and this is my reasoning: Assume, for the moment, that a poorly performing team receives a bye in...

Also that's my birthday so if you don't let my team win I'mma be very unhappy kgo

Electric bikes don't have to me madly powerful. In fact, there's more than a few examples of builds that use the motors from old swegway/hoverboard things. A proper speed controller and a battery that doesn't want to burn your house down, and you have the ruminations of a reasonable electric pedal-a...

Handle that in-script. Compare new authorities, and any that exist in the old file but not in the new, explicitly reset their access level to 15.

I like this idea better. In fact, it might be appropriate to just write an external script to download the new authorities, say every ten minutes. A ten minute propagation time for new perms seems admissible, I think.

Does the server hold the config in memory whilst being used, or does it consult the file each time a player logs in? If the former, we could potentially solve that issue by creating an inaccessible file in place of the authority file, forcing the server to fetch a copy every round. It's just a few k...
