thanks z-man

not sure how to prepare the log...
i have this log which luke-jr's server produces
what must i do to it exactly?

it's not a straight-forward cut and paste job is it?

You'll probably want to cut out the IP addresses before you publish them, there are various ways to do that. If you have an editor that supports regexp substitutions you could tell it to substitute “[0-9]{0,3}\.[0-9]{0,3}\.[0-9]{0,3}\.[0-9]{0,3}” by “x.x.x.x”, for example.

hmmm...

maybe it would be easier for me to send the file to sasha directly
so that it is not available to the public?

sasha's magic doesn't require that info anyway
so it will be lost during his processing

where is sasha anyway...?

feedback appreciated
in order to improve the next one...

what did you think about the structure this time?
how smoothly it ran?
and any thoughts on how to improve it?

I got two requests to disable the winzone. I declined on account of the winzone being part of the old bugfarm settings. I dimly remember writing that for serious tournamnent play, disabling the winzone would be OK, though. So a question for the participants and the main organizer: should the winzone stay or go on future ladles?

More as a note to myself: the server admins should have read the tournament rules and have a copy ready for review in case the Wiki gets knocked out again. Oh yeah, and someone remind me to tune down chat spam protection

its not really relevant to the ladle... but z-man, do you think you could take off team imbalance and names/colours back to default, and then rename it to Bugfarm Fortress?

please?

I'm going to say now that I think you (or people in general) should stop asking this at what seems like every opportunity. I'm sure Z-man is well aware of what people think about this. However, I dimly remember Z-man also having good reasons for it being the way it is now.

hmm
good question...

1
People get bored with 1v1, and blame everything... a winzone can sort that out.
2
Seems cheap to win a match, or even a game, by entering the winzone, but if I needed to win a match for my team to remain in the game, I would consider using a winzone if the defender was eg using box defence.

So I say yes, we need them.

i am against the winzone. especially in tournaments i think the winzone should be disabled, because it is always thrilling to watch a 1 on 1 fight. when i think about the outcome of the last ladle (such a close last match). it would have been sad if that match would have been decided by a cheap winzone.

oh yeah, about the spam protection, that someone was ... sasha

Being kicked for spam "Defense down" was sucks

However thanks to admin - Z-Man - he was in time and unbaned me. I didn't pass any round.

And I want to introduce Statistics of final of Ladle 5: TM vs WS ! Look in attach!
