Dear F10EX I am a professional. When I started playffa, no kidding I think I saw 8 FFA bots being born and dying. :D
The difference here is that the russian bot is well established with a working ladder.
Frankly it will all be about management and exposure. Exposure I can tale care of it but management no. Dealing with players is not something I wanna do anymore.
If year want to involve, you should give me any live chat contact you can have (I probably have them all) so we can communicate about it. Need to be seriously involved though so think well about it!
Map: Unfixed Download availability is set for less than a week I think, that will make hard for some game corrections, Id be willing, depending on what the ''Fail'' rate will be and how hard is it to correct somehting

fixing result is simple and fast.
However it puts you at risk of being flamed because you need to manually set the ELO won by the real winner and it is never enough. So it is simple and difficult at the same time.
I suggest that the one to do this is not a one competing for the top positions, for obvious reasons.
About 1/6 of results are wrong imo, but games in between noobs do not matter. Are fixed only games involving top 20-30 players.
I would say at most 3 or 4 games to be fixed per day.
The map thing is not a problem, it is not a bug, just an extra content we did not put back so far. If that is usefull it can be done real quick
Thanks Ugri, you make me believe in the ffarena project again. I miss it now more than ever.
Thanks. At a point, I started wondering what was happening. But I thought nobody really cared, I mean the players. Pretty much it started with F10EX message that got me thinking that if somebody could help, that was probably me. Since some players still cared, Seksi wrote me to not long ago.
The deal was a full transfer with ladder reset, and no possibility to use the "playffa" brand name. Everybody agreed, but it seems that the bot provider was unable to simply do this transfer. Many things changed in the chore of the system, including the winner detection and some commands that was added and were not there before.
So what was needed was to follow the steps we followed back when we started, but the admins of the bot providers changed : less available and it seems, not as skilled as The original admin there that was exceptionnal in coding stuff. Our ladder is way different of any other bot ladder, as it requires a unic coding for it (unlike dotas and others TD type games there that exists). So we slowly get there as they are still trying and I do not want to blame nobody on why it did not work in the first place.
Also I wanted to come back to wc3 for the things I really loved to do. Shoutcasting with Hayder is not possible anymore, but organizing events is. This I can do it through w3arena, they gave me access to pretty much anything I need. So my plan is to organize multiple events like before (ffa, rdm heroes 1v1 and 2v2).
Of course we will start with FFA but I cannot picture a good FFA event organization without ffarena being operationnal. That would be akward for me since everything that I had built started with making this ladder.
Last but not least, I had a terrible reputation here and I wanted not to be remembered this way!
