Finally got some time to fool around with CLOT. Ended up doing a more minimalistic approach with php+javascript instead of the python+django original.

The sourcecode is here
https://github.com/psenough/wl_clot_eastasia3vs3random
if you want to have a look, but lets leave the tech talk for the other thread
http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread?ThreadID=5471

Anyways, as first project i setup a 3vs3 random team members ladder using the strategic East Asia template. 3 day turns.

You can see the rankings at this page:
http://tpolm.org/~ps/wl_clot/eastasia3vs3random
Shortnened url:
http://tinyurl.com/wl-clot-eastasia

Here is how it works:
- Single players are listed / ranked by number of overall wins-losses
- When there are less then half the number of active games the rank is recalculated and new games (3vs3 random teams) are created with rank descending groups of 6.
- If you decline a game or get booted you are automatically kicked out of the ladder.

If you want to join post on this thread and i'll add you.

Right now it's still in beta, i need atleast 13 players to test if live, so post if you're willing to try it out. Once there are enough players i'll clean the alpha test fake players data and start the ladder.

Cosmetic enhancements to the page will come later. If there is any graphic designer around who wants to fool around with the css, go right ahead and send me the changes (or pull request on github), if they are decent i'll include them in the next update.

Me; please and thank you.

What are the settings?

I like the idea, Thanks ps ! I would be in ;) (I guess that if it's the final ones, you can find the settings on the games that ps already launched to test, in the ranking page http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=290970)

i want to be emperor of asia

Sounds interesting. I will play.

uhlala. dat be guisia

i will play.

marc2013's link is correct, that's the template i'm planning to use.

Did you trial the settings? Are they Guis? I hate to be the one to start this but those settings are going to force players to pick only in the smallest bonuses. Which there are few of, which means everyone is going to start in everyone elses pockets and games are going to get very formulaic and wont use a lot of the map.

template is ok, but put 0% luck not 16%.
on straight round are similar:
BUT: on 0% luck 1 always kill 1
on 16% luck 1 kill 1 at 86%...
this change how utilise leftorvers for make bonus, bc for take a neutral:
on 0% luck if you have a leftorvers you can make 1v2 and 2v1, and you take neutral at 100%.
on 16% luck you could fail an important bonus bc in 1v2 , defend decrease by 1 only at 86%.

dead piggy:
i tried them in this tournament:
http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TournamentID=4192
which was created by Gui so i believe the settings are his template, yes.
i cloned it to make random teams, everything else should be the same.

i guess i can add Gnuffone's suggestions to the template, unless anyone has any solid counter arguments.

Oh, I thought it was Johns East Asia. Never mind =(.

dead piggy: i guess i can define some sort of rule that after a month or so the ladder will close (as in a season) and the winner picks the template for the next one.

[and the winner picks the template for the next one.]

this is interesting. i like idea.

Hm, that sounds fun. I'd like to join.

ok, i did a couple more updates to the code and started the ladder with 8 players we have so far. the first game is already up and running:
http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=4032892

have to wait till the game ends to see if everything is running ok.

or enough more people join in to trigger a second game. :)

the page only gets updated every 24 hours btw. need to add that info in there somewhere.

Can non-members participate in it?
I like the idea, and idea of CLOT itself, to support it I'll join as a cannon fodder, if I can.

yeah member can join imho.
