Well as the new Ares admin for (url="http://"http://www.magleague.com")magleague(/url) , I suppose it's my job to recruit new members. Magleague is:
Quote
The Macintosh Game League is an organization dedicated to creating the best competitive environment availiable for the owners of Macintosh Computers. Michael McDonald, also known as ir8pir8 on IRC, is a cofounder and former CEO of the Macintosh Game League. He is responsible for most of the original design.
The League was born on January 9, 1997 supporting only Warcraft II, but now supports multiple game ladders. We at MaG wish to bring to the Macintosh gamer as many online competitive arenas as we can, therefore we are looking at a lot of Macintosh games to determine if they are ladder-playable.
Magleague added an Ares ladder tournament several months ago. As well as the permanent ladder tournament, Magleague also occasionally hosts tournaments for the mag games. One of these will probably be held in a month or two(still need to write the Ares rules, heh)
In any case, if you have logged on to GameRanger recently, you'll see that there has been a marked decline in Ares games being played. Hopefully MAG will be able to reverse that.
To sign up for magleague: Go to http://www.magleague...ds/MagChat.html and download the PPC b9 version of magchat. Once you get magchat 3, open it(duh) and create a new profile in the Users menu. Use the membership item in the Ladders menu to sign up for the Ares ladder and you're all set.
Mag games are reported by having the winner submit the game using magchat(Ladders>Submit) The loser then confirms the game(Ladders> Confirm/Delete)
So what are you waiting for Go sign up and play some ARES!!(lol)
Oh, and here's the official rules:
ARES LADDER GAMES
1. In order to be reported as a win both players must be members of this league and play the best of 3 games. 2. All levels are available. 3. If the game is tied at one all and a third game is neccessarry, capture the flag, and space warsare not allowed to be chosen as a level to play. 4. Each player gets to pick one level each in a best out of 3game. Whoever is the challenger picks the first level, the other person picks the second game, as well as thetiebreaker game if neccesarry. 5. Once a win has been declared the winner immediately submits the win for the loser to confirm. Points are automatically awarded when the loser confirms the game. Use the Submit Games page to submit wins and the Confirm /Delete Page to confirm loses. Note: if you make a mistake submitting a win you can delete your error on the Confirm/Delete page.

Well everybody is still technically signed up...heh
basically nobody seems interested anymore though...SO START PLAYING AGAIN PEOPLE!
Do you really need new rules? just use my old rules, they worked well for when the ladder was actually used. If you want a new tourny just Start the ladder over again. (PS: before you start the ladder over again, you should at least have mcborg make a hall of fame or whatever so all the data doesn't get erased --Some people, not to name names, have stats they don't really want erased since they may not play on the second ladder...) heh
oh and magleague.com hosted the netmech ladder as one of the first ladders on (url="http://"http://www.magleague.com")www.magleague.com(/url). The warcraft ladder was released at the same time.
But basically like i said before...EVERYBODY START PLAYING MAGLEAGUE GAMES AGAIN!!!

I was talking about the rules for the other tournament, not the ladder. We're still using your rules for the ladder.
I second that.
:frown: By the way, look what just turned up in my inbox:
The top 3000 leaders from all magleague.com game ladders have been emailed to join us on MagChat for a weekend of gaming.
Who: Top 3000 ladder leaders What: Gamers Weekend Where: MagChat Server When: This weekend October 26-28
Good Hunting, Greybeard President; magleague.com
PS magchat client download: http://www.magleague...ds/MagChat.html
Hope to see you all there!
Isn't "Top 3000" a bit overkill for Magleague? I don't think there is even 3000 players on Magleague...

Well, I learned tonight that I'm no match for the Starcraft players. 0-4 in one night, ouch! Maybe I'll try my hand at Ares, but there isn't any tournament Patrick orginized for this weekend...

Eek, confusing.
Seven offical Ares games, wow.
Ares is dying - that's all I can say. Hera was supposed to be the gateway to expansion, but it hasn't helped anywhere near as much as it could've.

correct.
Patrick: lots of people have it, its just not many people play it. It would be nice if there was a faster way to enter the stuff, and all that. Like sumit games and junk

Yeah, I know. I posted this for 2 reasons: •To get newbies to join and •To get people to play magleague again So far, both have been successful:There are new people on mag(Skyblade and Eye) and there are quite a few magleague games being played on GR now.

Well once the MagChat ladder and the (url="http://"http://www.magleague.com")www.magleague.com(/url) ladder are synchronized(Real Soon Now™), you'll be able to use MagChat to submit. What exactly is so slow about it though? I can submit games in ~15 seconds tops.
I signed up about a week ago thanks to hearing about it at GameRanger through Jimmy. I'm having a blast with it as well. So all you people quit sitting around and keep Ares from dying.
