I'd like to see the heavy earth one replaced. I am surprised he hasn't used some of the other settings not present on other RT templates (like he has in a few seasons)...like Multi Attack.

East Asia needs a change to neutral amounts or luck because a 5v3 fail is killer.

China is very bad template, one of most hated. Like RoR template: "show me, how you can to expand" :P

There was a pretty extensive discussions of the templates in another thread, where maybe there was a poll on what to keep/change.

At any rate, I think participation issues are largely caused by the dislike for some templates. Put good templates on there and people will play more.

Please answer!

You can pick more than one!

I will repeat the question "What Templates should be removed to Increase Interest to the Real-Time ladder?"

Speak! or vote..

i would only fix east asia and get rid of the light fog one.

poll for removal is useless because a) it's not official b) there is no alternative for fixes or replacement templates

Doesn't have to official.. Can still show the trend or reasoning why the ladder isn't populated.

It's accuracy would be debated obviously of course.

I'm sure there is some fixes or other templates to replace the unpopular templates? Right? I'm not sure but reducing neutrals would be a good fix without luck. I don't feel like I can put any point in this topic as I'm unfamilar with this aspect.

I would like to say a big Thanks to the people who have been playing Real-Time ladders.

Rather It Is or Not.. Thank you Szewenigen (I'm never good at spelling X( ) For the Real-Time Cup I think it has given players a huge incentive to play Real-Time ladder. It has made me so happy :)

Thank you all!

If one likes to play RT games, there is no good alternative to RT ladder, which can be considered the reason for its existence :). You join, you get a game quickly if there are players around. You play, you win or lose and you can kind of keep track of your and pother ppl ratings. Multiple templates is also fun, other than a couple (big earth, oceania?).

Some ppl forget to leave the ladder while they play, so sometimes there is a player but he/she is already in a game (with max 1 game at a time, obviously) - but that is easy to check by clicking the name. If he is not, the game usually starts quickly, if ladder is not broken, as it was a few days ago.

P.S. On some maps, e.g. China, neutrals play a big role, and it is not just about perfect expansion, as you likely run into your opponent quickly enough.
