for this one, please click "no" in case of real insatisfaction, not because there is one map you dont like.
Profforg does not want to be in direct contact with audience for requests. It means those cannot be made all the time by everybody. We need to see changes and improvements in a patch like fashion that would happen once in a while.
If really you are unsatisfied with the map pool, we will make new polls about the incriminated maps. Then I will send the "patch request" to profforg.
I might get an access to the panel "late 2017" so it probably wont happen. What i could see is having 3 to 4 months ladder time, then reseting everything keeping the stats as screenshot for history like I did for the 7 playFFA season.
Situation is quite awkward with the bots still up 2 weeks after they were supposed to be shut down. This creates a limbo situation where everything is frozen.
Ive been talking a lot with Profforg about what really needed to be done to keep ffarena in shape, from ELO calculations to overall configuration.
What ffarena will really need is a team to manage it. I am here when needed but cannot do the day per day management. Previous team formally or de facto mostly quited. So far only Paulquappe showed interest on acting as admin on it.
Profforg said he would be able to kill the infamous "building loss bug". I am very curious about this, I know that onligamez russian bot seemingly managed to do it, so it should be possible.
That would be one of the gain of the change, and less work for the admins that should then just have to work on hacking report and season organization.
Ok we had this agreement with profforg and many players on how to save and finance the ffa ladder. I thought it was good enough.
I cannot really pursue this right now because W3arena wants to proceed differently, and include FFA into an higher scale solution for all the problems that lunaghost closing creates.
I do not know what is that solution.
Sorry to leave you hanging like that but I am in a situation which would probably lead to conflicts if I do anything more.
I've put w3arena in contact with profforg.
My baby playFFA has grown up, and I do not control it anymore!
If whatever plan they have fails, I'll jump back in. If it works it is all good.
Yosh told me as of March 15th, lunaghost will terminate its activities. All bots are going down.
by then, we should have a replacement for the "FFArena" one, a friend named Pingaring can work on it. Fees should be about what lunaghost used to ask for.
We might lose statistics recording though, trying to get access to these datas before they shut down. So we might have just an autohosted system without a ladder.
For your inhouse bots, there would be solutions with Pingaring as well. Who wants to make damage control on behalf of FML can just post here and we work this out!
@FML|Pinballmap with sky, remind, check etc etc, they decided to hold several FFA. They would gain points depending on rankings. The one with the most points will get 1000 RMB
@zTsoso we always want more, thats human nature :) I can ask Grubby and Tod later, i dont know when they would have time etc... I would see this without a prizepool
