you want to participate, send me a Private Message and I will add you to the ladder.

ladders and how they work, see the Ladder Tutorial link below. Our ladders are

at the AGE site.

Make sure to add your Xbox Live Gamertag to your AGE profile if you
have not yet done so. This is what people will use to send you friend
requests for the Ladder
so ya'll can meet up for your matches. To add your Gamertag, click on
your name in the upper right hand side of the site. Then click on the
"About" tab. Look for the "Gamer Tag" field and fill it in. Hit the
"Save Canges" button.

<font color="#a52a2a"><u>Note 3:</u> </font>Also, if you are new to the site, please take some time to Introduce Yourself (http://adultgamingenthusiasts.com/forums/15/ShowForum.aspx) in the forums. This way people can get an idea of who you are before they play in the Ladder with you.</strike>

Aww man!!! This is freaking sweet!!! I can't wait to get started on this!!! One thing though...I've joined the ladder and all, but when I click Challenges, the drop down menu on that page is blank...there are no Ladders showing on that drop down menu.

[aSchway]

Yes - I too want to join this ladder, but I'm not 100% sure how to do it.. I mean I've clicked join and is there anything else I need to do?

[Sharky]

Click the Standing link above. If your name is on it, then you are good to go. Grumpy still needs to code a popup page that tells you that you have signed up successfully - it's on his to-do list.

Once enough people sign up I will start the ladder. This will allow you to see names in the drop down menu when sending out challenges. Until then, it will show up as blank.

Please read over the Ladders Tutorial to get an idea of how things will work once I activate it. It is all described pretty detailed in the tutorial.

I will start the ladder this friday.

[Sharky]

I lied, I went ahead and started the ladder since we already have 10 players signed up.

If you have not signed up yet, be want to participate, send me a Private Message and I will add you to the ladder.

Let me know if you have any questions about the way the ladder works.

[treek22]

My first time doing a ladder here at AGE....rules said TBD?

Format? Rounds? Time Limit? etc....

[Sharky]

shit, I knew I forgot something.

Settings suggestions?
I'm thinking Classic game mode, maybe 5 rounds ... I will take a look at it tonight when I get home.

5 days is the challenge expiration time frame. Meaning, if you challenge someone, y'all have 5 days to complete and record your results, or the ladder will automatically populate the win for the challenger.

We will just play it be ear to see how long we want to run the ladder. I am thinking about 2 months, unless it is still going strong.

I added you to the ladder Vampyre.

[Sharky]

OK, I have posted the rules (see above). For now, lets keep the Power-Up Set to Beginner. That is, unless both people decide on a higher setting. After a few weeks we can allow higher settings. For now, let's keep it so us newbies can halfway compete for the first few weeks.

[Vampyre]

LOL noobs are right! I still need to DL the game. Will do that tommorow when I get home from work.

[cdub998]

sinceits one on one do we use cpu players to make 4?

[aSchway]

Oh my! I've just had my first ever AGE challenge! Cdub! Prepare yourself for battle! I will send you a PM and we can talk about our up-coming match LOL

[cdub998]

Thats what happens when you're in 1st. everyones gunnin for ya.

[Sharky]

FYI - when a person challenges you, it automatically sends a PM to both parties. Just reply to that PM to finalize your schedule.

Cdub, we should be able to play 1vs1 matches.

[treek22]

So who hosts? Higher rank? Whoever has the better connection? Does it matter?

[Sharky]

doesn't matter. Who ever sets it up and send the invite first.

[Sharky]

I'm coming for your #1 slot aSchway!

I sent you a challenge.

[WrekTaFyr]

Wow...how the leaderboard changes over a weekend...I need to get my @$$ in gear...the #1 spot is looking too far away at the moment.

[Bluud Bane]

Slightly confused here. I lost my match to Sharky ( he cheated!, j/k) and assumed I was out of the ladder. However I have recieved another challenge from some one else now. Am I still allowed to play or no?

Regards,

Bluud Bane.

[Sharky]

the ladder is ongoing. The only penalty from loosing is that you get knocked down a few notches, to the position of the person that beat you ... thats where the name "Ladder" comes from. The only way to work your way up the ladder is to challenge and beat people that are in a higher possition than you. I have it set up so you can only challenge someone 3 or less positions than yourself. This makes it so people in last place can not challenge the leader and become 1st place in one match - this makes it so people have to earn their way up to top positions.

[aSchway]

Sharky! I've got a lab coming up in an hour, and I might be purchasing/frantically finding a new blockbuster that has madden when I get out, but if I am around - come find me!

[Sharky]

tomorrow is better. I have a soccer game at 9pm tonight

[Vampyre]

I just tried to make a new challange but the only person i could choose was migz. Can you only challange the person in the place next to you?

[Sharky]

you can challenge people up to 3 places ahead of you. Though, if they are already in an open challenge, they will not show up on the list. Each person can only be in one open challenge at a time. The only people that show up in the drop down menu are the people that have not been challenged.

[treek22]

Sharky- Looks like my challenge match to WarLokk defaulted in a win....we actually played tonight (8/21) hoping to beat the expiration date, but looks like we were too late.


WarLokk beat me 4 -1, so please correct the standings/record.

Thanks!

send a PM to Grumpy. He takes care of database editing stuff like this.

[migz]

Any way in hell we can increase the number of slots you can challenge up? It sucks to be sitting on the bottom of the ladder and not being able to challenge anyone cause there's noone to challenge.[:S]

[WarLokk]

Did someone get in touch with Grumpy about my match?

[Sharky]

[aSchway]

[treek22]

Sent a PM to Grumpy this morning...he might still be on vacation?

Thanks Sharky! [:D]

[Vampyre]

Thanks sharky

[WrekTaFyr]

Way to go WarLokk!!! I had to do a double take. I was looking at the standings and seen your name above mine...I was like...damn, looks like I pissed him off!!! Good job!!!

[WarLokk]

LOL, thanks man . . . But now I can't challange anyone, I still have one out, is there a limit to how many you can make at once?

[treek22]

LOL, thanks man . . . But now I can't challange anyone, I still have one out, is there a limit to how many you can make at once?I think it's one at a time....are you around tonight? We can try and complete our ladder match.

[WarLokk]

Yea, I'll be around what time you be available?

[treek22]

After 9:30pm EST...I'll send you a xbox PM also.

[WarLokk]

OK, i'm in second place...no outstanding challenges of any kind...why can't I challenge aSchway?

[Sharky]

He is already in a challenge with someone else.

[WrekTaFyr]

OK, i'm in second place...no outstanding challenges of any kind...why can't I challenge aSchway?



Because you gotta wait 'til I get my shot at that top spot. With any luck...you'll have to go up against me again for the #1 spot.

[WarLokk]

Ah ha....i guess I'll wait my turn :: aww shucks [:P]::

[Vampyre]

Im finally out of last place and just took over 7th place. Trek22 im coming for you [:D]

[aSchway]

BOO! So Wrek and I finally got our game going tonight, and when it was over I come on to record the results and it was too late! I lost! Our game ended up 4-1 Me winning, but rules are the rules and I will have no problem taking a loss, heck - It'll be nice to be able to challenge some people anyway!

Sharky...is there anyway to reset the outcome? I feel kinda lame in the top spot by default when we actually did our games in. I don't need all that bad karma as I try to climb to the top.

[Sharky]

1. Send a private message to Grumpy asking him to change it.
2. Start finishing your matches in time!! [sg]

[WrekTaFyr]

I sent him a message, Sharky. Thanks for the help...hopefully he can fix it.

[WrekTaFyr]

Im finally out of last place and just took over 7th place. Trek22 im coming for you [:D]


You know how long it's been since I've seen one of those 3D pictures...let alone an animated gif. It took me about five minutes to get it to work. Flashes me back to my sophomore year in high school, sitting in biology class, not paying attention because I was too busy trying to see the 3D dinosaurs in the poster next to the white board...damn 3D posters...

Be ready...because if my memory serves me right...he walked all over me. But...that could have just been luck...he hasn't been free to challenge since...so I think he's just scared to play me again.

[treek22]

Vampyre - I'll be on tonight ~9pm EST. Will you be around tonight?

[WrekTaFyr]

Look at treek trying to by pass all of us...jumping right to the top.[:@] Good luck, man!!!


Speaking of challenges...aSchway...when's the next time you'll be on?

[treek22]

LoL! Wrek....I've had this match set up after ours when I was then 3rd....seems other ladder matches completed and shuffled me to 5th.

Almost didn't recognize you...since you switched avatars! [;)]

aSchway will be on once Halo3 hits....then you can pretty much get your "default wins" on him...[:P]

[WrekTaFyr]

Yeah...figured it was football season...and althought I don't see the Dolphin's doing a whole lot this season...I am an avid Miami Dolphins fan (don't tell to many people, please).


Dude...I am SOOO ready for Halo 3 to hit. Tired of catching clips here and there on the internet...I wanna frigging play it already!!!

[cdub998]

I hate having no one to challenge. BOOOO!

[WrekTaFyr]

I hate having no one to challenge. BOOOO!


Ain't that the worst!!! I was in a jam like that for awhile...hoping to challenge someone above me before someone lower beat me and I fell a couple spots.

[Vampyre]

anytime after 5pmcst cdubb

[WrekTaFyr]

Wow!!! Is it me...or have the challenges really fallen off the map?

[Sharky]

Wow!!! Is it me...or have the challenges really fallen off the map?

I think it is about time to wrap this Ladder up. I am going to make the deadline Oct. 8th. Whoever is in the lead that morning when I wake up will be considered the winner and get a Bomberman Ladder Winner banner under their name for the forums.

[Bourbon]

Treek, better get your ass in gear.

[WrekTaFyr]

Treek, better get your ass in gear.





[:O]Bourbon...are you saying you want to see treek kick my out of the #1 spot...ouch...my pride[:'(]

[WrekTaFyr]

<P mce_keep="true">Yep...from cdub. I'm gonna try and get on tonight and get it out of the way. *fingers crossed*

[cdub998]

You know, in hindsight, the trashtalk isn't as funny. BUT...I did get in a challenge before treek...so I'll be on Halo 3 tonight...so if I see you on, be prepared.

[treek22]

Cdub nice sig!

Vampyre - I'll be on tonight...around 7pmEST.

[cdub998]

<P mce_keep="true">Well We will see tonight. I'll try to be on then. Next time treek will have to be a faster challenger.
<P mce_keep="true">You like heroes treek? I love it.

[WrekTaFyr]

<P mce_keep="true">Yeah dude...I was gonna ask if that was something you made or if you found it somewhere. If you found it...let me know where you found it at.

[treek22]

You like heroes treek? I love it. no worries on the challenge...I wanted Wrek to savor his first place standing for awhile, I would have felt bad if I took it away so quickly![;)].....looks like I have a new goal. [bx]....just gotta keep Vampyre at bay.

[cdub998]

<P mce_keep="true">Me either. Just seems a little corny with the whole brit as a samurai thing. Anyway they have it on My.livecard.net. They have a bunch of gamercards on there.

[WrekTaFyr]

<P mce_keep="true">Yeah...Hiro forming the Brit into the hero in the childhood stories he was told...kinda lame...but maybe there's a cool twist coming in the future that will make it all better. Very cool...I'll check out that website right now...thanks.

<P mce_keep="true">Well another day another 1st place. Treek where you at. I'm callin you out. I need the rematch anyway before this is over.
