Alright, talk to me ...

Postby amarriner » Tue Dec 18, 2007 10:26 am

Okay so obviously I haven't been around much lately. Real life infringes more than it ever has in the past and it's likely to just continue if not get even moreso. AWBW is always my home on the web, though, and I don't want things to go down the tubes. I shall do my very best to be available (as regularly as I can) to see if I can fix some things that people are worried about. Please post here with some of the goings on since I've been gone and I shall do my best to get caught up.

You can definitely PM me, but keep in mind it will be tough for me to respond to everyone. I'll do my best to at least read everything that comes my way. Please be patient as I have no where near the free time I used to have.

Hello AAA! Glad to hear from you!

Well, the biggest current problems IMHO are:

- The boot/AET script, which is still not working properly.

- The maps should be changed on some of the leagues. Especially, pipes aplenty is badly unbalanced: the first player has a winning strategy.
A suggestion to make the leagues work more smoothly would be to allow the map committee to change the maps list if necessary, since I think you will have more important things to worry about.
So, you think you're good at AWBW?
Join the ladder and challenge the best!

Yeah I've heard that a lot. I'm pretty sure I know the issue, and can probably fix that relatively quickly. At least the boot portion of the script anyway.

It's an early Christmas present! He meant to come one week later, but misread the calender. :lol:

Glad to have you around again, plan on staying long?

Welcome back, we all missed you.

The site has been working great,
as for problems, only a few small bugs/issues:
-the boot/aet script (some people get aet'd for months :))
-some of the league maps have issues, and also i've been getting a lot of the same maps lately
-the league top 3 doesn't register players over 1000 rating

btw the leagues are great, they are what keeps me coming back to play

Those are two nice things to hear. :)

benbever wrote:-the boot/aet script (some people get aet'd for months :))

Yeah this is a biggie. I think I've got the boot script down so now I just have to attack the AET script.

benbever wrote:-some of the league maps have issues, and also i've been getting a lot of the same maps lately

Hmm yeah some others have mentioned issues with league maps, too. I'll see what I can come up with.

benbever wrote:-the league top 3 doesn't register players over 1000 rating

Weird! Wonder why...

Awesome, glad you like them. They do seem to be still going strong which is cool.

Nah, I'm good. Don't need other mods trawling over our territory. :lol:

All I really need is a way to either temp-ban some spammers or restrict posting abilities for some. Thats it, really.

Unfourtantly PHPBB is fairly restrictive on mod powers...you have to be an admin to do any of that.

Hi Amarriner, i'm glad you're back

I agree with changing some of the league maps though, perhaps there could be different map sets and they cycle every few months say, so eg: jan-feb has five map options, then march-april has a different five and so on?

Anyway, AWBW is easily my favourite website, so thank you! :)

For example, the Speed League is ignoring me leading it, sadly. :(
