Are you trying to register on the site? That site hosts ladders for tons of games... so the Global sign-up/register is not just VW. Likely someone on that site already has your username :/
If you are already registered on the site, but are just trying to add yourself onto the VW list, then that's a different issue.

So I am working on finalizing the rules. Any ideas on a different game mode?

I am think 4 player FFA XXL Conquer Manual (HC/ATT)

What you guys think?



6 players minimum / Not random maps...but users Maps....like this we dont have draw maps or fucking small maps....Conquer+Border or FM BORDER :P thats it.....nothing manual...cuz people always aim for a Forcing draw....turtling etc....Border is more skilled !

I am not saying I disagree with you, but having 6 players online at once? It is very hard to organize. It is hard enough having two players show up let alone 6.

Again though, I am still looking into this problem and I will see what I can do.

... Slight delay... I just found I have kidney stones so I need to deal with that asap. It is taking time away from organizing this but I have no choice here.

The less players there are in a game, the more 1st person advantage there is... and that's all I got to say about that.

Again there are logistical issues that go with larger games.

I agree 100% with you guys, I will do everything I can to make this happen.

But again... Think about this... How would you schedule 6 people all at once? I'd be shocked if 50% showed.

But never fear because there is always a solution.

One thing I am pondering is giving increasingly more points to players who play big games (and less points lost), and vice versa more points lost in 1v1 and less gained if you win.

I will be doing my testing tonight (assuming I don't have a kidney stone attack) and I have more concrete information.


... One other possible solution is to make a ladder game with maybe 2-3-4 players, and fill the rest of the spots with just normal players. One bonus to this, is we can entice those other users to join. One con however, these players may not be playing fair etc.

Any suggestions anyone?

8 player, FFA, FM, HC, Borders, XXL, Upgrades only

That's what I tend to play, on a more competition level. On a non-competition level..

4 player, FFA, FM, ATT, Borders, "Grand Britain" (No I didn't make this map, no I didn't find it, Eridein did [He's American] and showed it to me), Upgrades only, with Eridein (It's fun to slaughter friends)

Free-for-all. Basically, everyone fights each other, no allies.
