Also, the PO winner doesn't get enough attention, imo. LW is doing good in this point imo: http://www.ligaworms.org/
But on tus, after the season you switch to previous standings and you see someone on top with 90%+ winning percentage and a huge load of points, so you obviously think that he pwns.

would this be going in the right direction?  add "Latest Playoff Games" and/or "Latest Playoff Winners" as options on the 'Customize your homepage' settings.

would that be possible MonkeyIsland? if it's too much work, then nvm.  or did you have any other specific ideas random?

I like this idea, a big display on the main page of the Playoff winners would be cool :)

Yea all right.
You can post some examples of how it would look better?

Indeed that's a good idea to promote the POs, and the league in general !

Could be something like : "Current TUS champion" displayed all the season, with the name of the last PO winner and a beautiful picture of a cup or something :) And why not a TOP3 podium ?

DOGGY TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF!!! :D And yes, I know what you guys are talking about, I'm just saying don't forget about that, because there already is a complete sketch for a TOP3 podium, and you shouldn't work twice.

I can't really say anything for the homepage, I'm quite pessimist and I'm sure it wouldn't ever turn out the way I'd imagine. :-X

Post by: HHC on January 16, 2011, 01:30 PM
Yeah, it would be nice to get a few extra options there. Like a box displaying p/o's as said before, as well as some displaying standings (like top 8 in all leagues, as well as one's personal standing). That way I could quickly see how I'm doing in TEL, while unchecking all the leagues I don't play in :P

Another few features:
- outstanding cup games.
- overview of PM's received.

I will get back on TUS in a month. But I think I could code these boxes now. I'll gather all boxes, then I'll add all.
Post any option you want here.

You want block only for cup games?
and what is overview of PMs? See your last 5 PMs received?
Still I don't exactly how to show season winners. A box showing the winner of each season? or ruin the homepage with big fonts and images?

Well, any outstandings games I guess. Cups and playoffs, I can't really think of more ???

Quoteand what is overview of PMs? See your last 5 PMs received?
Yeah, or the last 3, with the first sentence of the content or something. This is just an addition though, it's not reall a MUST have  ::)

QuoteStill I don't exactly how to show season winners. A box showing the winner of each season? or ruin the homepage with big fonts and images?
Just a name I guess, and maybe limit it to last 5 seasons or so.

Well, we can nominate league games :)

he doesn't mean outstanding games as in 'amazing' games.. I think he means games that need to be played for playoffs/cups. (definition:continuing in existence; remaining unsettled, unpaid, etc.: outstanding debts.)

but I don't think the homepage is the place for that.  maybe just Lastest Playoff Games played, and maybe Latest Playoff Winners.  if HHC wants outstanding games to be on homepage to encourage them to get played, I think there are better ways.. which I'll likely make another thread about.

box for nominated games doesn't sound so bad though!  your call

Post by: darKz on January 16, 2011, 04:08 PM
I think HHC actually meant outstanding games as in amazing games. Nominating those sounds logical to me. :)
Title: Re: homepage: adding playoff stuff
Post by: HHC on January 16, 2011, 04:16 PM
Nein!

What Franz says, games you've got left to play.

Although it would be nice to see 'latest nominations' or something like that  :)

Franz told me to bump so i am! I think anything would be an improvement from current situation, considering all the boxes with recent games,map, etc etc, some form of notifaction of tus champions could be on the home page
Title: Re: homepage: adding playoff stuff
Post by: darKz on June 29, 2011, 11:34 PM
Yah agreed, more honor to the winners!! :P
Title: Re: homepage: adding playoff stuff
Post by: MonkeyIsland on July 01, 2011, 04:43 PM
Added a box for this. Thanks for bumping.
I think I will make it more visible in future though.

Nice, but what about tel, trl and free league?
Title: Re: homepage: adding playoff stuff
Post by: darKz on July 01, 2011, 06:09 PM
TEL TRL and Free League aren't as important imo, if you include them then you might as well add "latest tourney/cup/challenge" winners.. Would be too much I think..

Since the classic league is undoubtedly the hardest league to win and therefore the most important one, I think it alone deserves to be mentioned on the home page.

That's just my opinion though. :)

You have a point there, but saying that tel and trl are not important as classic is, you discourage people to play those leagues and minimize the issue. I believe that for many people, tus singles is not really important and significant as tel and trl are, and I have to disagree with you that singles is harder to win. Just take a look at tus singles PO, a bunch of zillians, polands against random, daina or artic. On the other hand, tel and trl po's are a way more intensive and crowded of people that doesn't want to deal with avoiders, lamers and all the kind of crap that you can easily find on tus singles.
Moreover, is not really interesting seeing information about PO's played months and months ago on the home page. I'd rather see who won trl and tel few weeks ago :)

I agree on the months ago part here.

I'm not sure why but some people just can't be arsed with classic league currently it seems.. There used to be more 'pros' playing classic.. And the scheme specific leagues are very active now because they're still pretty new I guess. :)

Post by: franz on July 01, 2011, 07:34 PM
looks like MI simplified it, showing the most recent classic/trl/tel/free.
even better progress, gj.
Title: Re: homepage: adding playoff stuff
Post by: franz on September 16, 2011, 07:50 AM
'Lastest Playoff Games' box on homepage
+
Leagues>Recent Games>Playoff Games

playoffs games can be hard to find, I think many would enjoy this.


also, Leagues>Playoffs>"___" Playoffs>, seem to just go to the current season, but wouldn't the previous season make more sense? even as just an easier way to report playoff games. I find it kind of like a maze just to report them or to follow the progress of playoffs :x

yeah, i was trying to find the playoff games a little while back... i could not find them and eventually gave up.
