Ambrosia Software Web Board: The Newest Magleague Ares Clan: TNT, Has Exploded into #3 - Ambrosia Software Web Board

The newest ares clan to join the ares magleague is TNT. Co-led by Fyrephin and Lord, they have gained enough points to get to the #3 position, posing competition for #1-TAG, and #2- EL. The top TNT player has also risen to #7 place, with a sterling record. For all those of you who thought the ares magleague was dead, you will be watching your status on the ladder slowly fall if you don't start playing again....

For all of you who are new to ares and don't know what the "ares magleauge" is all about, let me breifly explain:

A few years ago, I created an ongoing ladder tourniment for all ares players to compete in. There is a clan ladder and an individual ladder included in this. You can visit it at [url="http://"http://www.magleague.com"]www.magleague.com[/url]. (when you get there for the first time, make sure you select ares ladder in the left hand bar, and sign up in the right hand bar, then click load page) Virtually every ares player has signed up and played on the ares ladder. If you want to give it a try, go to [url="http://"http://www.magleague.com"]www.magleague.com[/url] and check it out.
Any questions, feel free to ask me on gameranger, or through email @ erbssk2001@yahoo.com.


For those of you who haven't played a magleague game in a long time -- there's alot of activity on the ladders now, so it might be a good time to get involved once again.

Cool. But I can't seem to join. It says "The Nick you have chosen is already in use" for absolutely no reason. I would have been great on MaG if I joined. By the way, I have played Fyrephin and (AoEp) Lord, who both were quite mediocre, (not to hurt their feelings) and I won almost all the games.

well if their easy, then it should be no problem knocking them down right?

by the way, your getting that error because you already did register, or somebody with your same name registered already

BloodEagle is the screen name that already exists on Mag.
If you forgot the password to the BloodEagle account, then email me or contact me somehow, and I can make you a new one.

6th place ay, OV? You sound really good. Well, do you think I could manage to play a game with a 31k connection? I don't know if it's going to get any better when I get my new computer, because our lines are very bad. I'd love to give it a shot, however it may end up waiting until I get my new computer, because this one just seems to have inherent networking problems.

hey you're the clan leader remember. I'm just a VIP.

lol laguna...

Ok blood eagle, I'll delete it, but make sure you re-register with the correct email this time since your password gets emailed to your email address you enter in blood eagle.

FYI: TNT is now lead by fyrephin, however theres a bug thats not letting me enter that into magleague, so make a mental note i guess...

remember that all marshals = 10 points...

For some reason I am unable to view TNT's "clan list." Its hard to play one of their members if I can't access the list and I'm too lazy to hunt the top 100 for "TN" clans.

Maybe its related to your problem Jimmy.

Well I had to enter in their clan by hand so it existed. I belive magleague only allows a certain number of clans, and we have one to many. I might have to delete the last place clan to make room...

but i'll keep ya updated

To Jimmy Page:

Quote from Magleague:
Your password was incorrect.

My password was incorrect!? Even you told me my password. But how can it be incorrect then!?

------------------
Weirdophobia: Fear of crazy people. (It's a part of living...)

it's not possible, I JUST logged onto your account after I read your message to make sure. The account stats I gave you WORK.

remember you gave me the password in caps

MAGLEAGUE IS CASE SENSITIVE

also remember your login name is exactly this---> BloodEagle <---no spaces and use caps on the B and the E

Ok, there apparently can only be 5 clans on magleague at a time.

As a result, I merged the Ares Prophets with TNT. TNT now has double the members. I didn't want to totally boot the ares prophets, so i thought this was better.

Ares prophets did not have many points, so they did not boost TNT's score too much.

stewcow, if you want to have your clan back, I got rid of the twelve so that there is room .

The twelve: If you want your clan back, just let me know, because if stewcow is happy the way things are, then I can add you back on. But you never won a game, so it wont hurt you if you got booted off the ladder temporarilly.

If anybody has any complaints, state them now.

Umm... thanks for the advice, but it doesn't seem to work. I typed my password on caps, AND I typed my username correctly. Now, tell me this: WHY CAN'T I LOG IN!!??!

(Sorry about the caps...) lol

------------------
A scar on your heart will never heal.

That's not even possible, I've been on your account twice now, everything should work.

There has to be something your doing wrong---go check everything extremely carefully. BloodEagle and then your pass in all caps.

You know what I'm trying to say, Jimmy Page...

"A life without danger is no life at all."
-Blood Eagle

Hey Jimmy,
Was just coming here to post this myself
now to read thread

------------------
" 'Tis a dangerous thing to engage the authority of scripture in disputes about the natural world, in opposition to reason; lest time, which brings all things to light, should discover that to be evidently false which we had made scripture to assert....We are not to suppose that any truth concerning the natural world can be an enemy to religion; for truth cannot be an enemy to truth, God is not divided against himself" Thomas Burnett, 17th century clergyman and geologist.

Blood Eagle- try using a different webbrowser maybe? I was also able to log on successfully using your password and Mozilla.
*****

I'd also like to mention that ways of getting magleague games include the magleague IRC server( #magleague on enterthegame.com ) MaGChat ( [url="http://"http://magleague.com/downloads/chat.html"]http://magleague.com...loads/chat.html[/url] ) GameRanger ( Land of the Lost ) and the MaG hotline server at 64.44.101.80 ( Username: magger Password: magleague (Ask admins for account))
MaG also has their own board accesible to members at the main site.
*****

As for "stating complaints" I'd just like to say that I still am interesting in seeing if we could get a better ladder scoring system. Preferably one like battle.net's system ( [url="http://"http://www.battle.net/ladder/ladderfaq.shtml"]http://www.battle.ne...ladderfaq.shtml[/url] ) or at least setting the ladder so that you lose 5 points for every loss( I believe the ladder used to remove a point for each loss, so this should be possible with the current system ). This way we dont have a problem with poor players who have too much time on their hands just killing newbies right and left and rocketing past the top players as easily as they could now.

Patrick: The reason I couldn't play you is because I was meant to be doing research for my homework. Eastlegion watch out! TNT will blow you away.

I didnt realise that hosting a separate game for an hour is research

Hello, what do we have here?

Fyrephin! You surrendered for absolutely no reason!?! I was going to play you on GR, but you just made me scram!?

Oh well, I'm on TNT!

Hmm, with new people come old problems...

we used to have it where you lose points if you lose. I changed it since nobody wanted to ever play a game, especially against good people.

With the current scoring system, it's designed so if you lose, you won't lose any points. That is why it is stupid to decline a game from somebody just because they are good.

Then I go and weed out the games that were played constantly against the same newbie in a day (example: the lord) and make sure the ladder isn't abused. For the most part it works out.

TNT is giving magleague a lot of questionable practices to contend with...there are alot of unwritten, but universally followed rules that i don't want to have to rewrite into the rules page. TNT---follow these rules:

1- do not play the same person more than once in a day
2- one magleague game = 1 win
3- a magleague game is defined as a best out of three match
4- do not play your own clan members for a win, (example: toticool)
5- do not make accounts just so you can win against yourself
6- do not decline a game, you must play all challenges (you lose nothing if you lose anyways, so there shouldn't be a problem with that)

I really don't want to have to void out more games than i have to.
