Hey guys, Ramone sent me a message. It really wouldn't be much trouble to kick off a2b again - the only reason it went down is because i moved the main clansfx domain off my personal webspace onto the same server as worms2d.info and forgot to move a2b with it
. I can easily set it up again.
Reading through this thread though, i see a few things that may need some more time spent on them:
Should i wipe previous members/games and start fresh?
- Half of the people in this thread are already registered
- Can you remember your passwords? (they are encrypted so i can't recover them for you)
- There are almost 30 members and i suspect many are inactive
Does it want to be a private, invite-only league?
- If not, i'll need to create a signup page
- If so, should there be specific admins who can give invites (current setup), or should every member be allowed to invite others?
- If every member can invite, should these invites be restricted (eg x amount per season, or top 3 players each season get a few, etc)
The visual design is pretty basic, Komo just wanted a quick league system that functioned.
- Is anyone that bothered?
- Are any of you decent graphic designers?
- I work best from Photoshop designs so if anyone wants to have a go feel free - I can let you know what needs to be on each page.
Here's whats on the current rules page, do any changes need to be made?
1. No straight bazooka shots.
2. No sitters.
3. No repeat shots.
* If you hit someone for 34 HP or less with a shot, you can't use that same shot again until you have hit them with a different one.
* If you hit someone for 35 HP or more with a shot, you can't use that same shot again until either you or they have moved.
4. No 5 second grenades unless used with low gravity or max bounce
5. All shots should be aimed to explode on impact with the opponents worm.
6. Re-aim the crosshair between every turn, regardless of whether you landed a hit last turn or not.
7. Don't teleport too close to your opponent's worm (try to stay at least half the map away).
8. No notching unless you can't help it (ie, your perfect aim is 1 or 2 taps off vertical).
9. No telecides (teleporting on your opponent when you have low health in order to inflict grave damage on them).
10. No defensive girders, only use girders for bouncing nades.
11. 3 points for a win.
12. 1 point for a loss.
13. Seasons last 2 months.
Some of the rules are quite vague, but the fact you are here is because we trust you to play fairly.
Current content pages, asterisk denotes pages only admins can currently see (can easily be changed):
- Home: This is a page which displays news posts. Each post has subject, content, name of admin, time, and date.
- Rules: See last section.
- Standings: A table of standings for the current season. Contains position, name, games played, wins, losses, win rate %, and points.
- View Games: A search page for viewing reported games. Search by season and date range, displays results as table with date/time, winner, loser, and icon for downloading replay.
- Report Game: A simple form for submitting games played. Choose who you beat from dropdown list, attach replay, and submit.
- *Invite: Contains a form field to enter the email address of the invitee. Sends an invitation email which contains a link with a verification ID for them to sign up with.
- *Group Email: For sending an email to all registered members. Contains a simple form with subject and message.
- *Post News: Looks almost identical to the Group Email page but posts the message as a news item on the Home page instead of emailing.
Let me know what you think, i can afford to spend some time on this but i also have paid work to do so don't expect anything in the way of reliable deadlines. A more complex invite system or visual redesign will take time to do, but everything else i listed can probably be sorted quickly.
