TheDeadlyCommunity. You asked for it.

As for W:A, what we're all playing is the beta version (in W:A's case this kinda means 'stable'). Alpha versions are newly developed updates which are given to some trustworthy people for bugfixing purposes before they're released as the new beta. I don't think you can find alpha versions of W:A freely on the net.

yea l2r fegget lolz

Like most russians didn't see bears except in zoo and circus.

Or at eSport events as the 'guy' who hands out the prizes. This is from a very recent tournament, I was like wtf really..?

Haha, this game.

[reN`dt] ok i hate elite now
[dt`wreckz] greatest comeback ever

Sums it up pretty nicely. 

KRD, I guess it's rather easy to save the "all-time high score" for each player in some sort of table, maybe add the date on which it was achieved next to it.
I don't see a problem with how playoff-qualification works right now since this would only affect inactive players/clans anyway.

About that, what I had in mind was losing a percentage of your overall points over the duration of your inactivity.

overall rating - ((overall rating - 1000) * x/100) = new rating

The benefit of losing a percentage of the points is that the pressure is higher on the players/clans with high ratings which could encourage them to play more.. I guess.  Shouldn't be too much though, I'm thinking 5-10%.

Example case (5%/month):

	CF	dC
Current rating	7820	2921
After 1 drop	7479	2635
After 2 drops	7155	2553
After 3 drops	6847	2476

As you see CF would lose almost 1000 points during 3 months of inactivity while dC would only lose roughly 450. After one year CF would've lost 3200 points, dC would've lost 1800. The lower the rating gets the less you lose obviously, so dropping from the top spots will be rather quick but going back to 1000-ish would take a pretty long time.

Just my 2 cents. 

For those talking about the big cash from adverts, I found a nice and pretty recent article about Google AdSense. I don't know how much traffic TUS generates but the author says "I don't usually advise my clients to run AdSense on websites that have less than 300-400 unique visits per day" - which I personally doubt TUS currently has. I could be wrong though.

Edit: Not to mention the website needs to be generally popular on Google. I don't know how many people google "worms armageddon league" every day but I have a feeling that it's not a lot. 

Wasn't the point of a separated overall and seasonal rating to prevent resetting?

clans like CF who [...] don't even play...

Maybe if these clans cared less about winning

Komo logic.

No sorry, we're currently avoiding everyone, even ourselves.
Also sorry for posting off-topic here, I'll take my leave now. Good luck DromEd.

"Hi I'd like to avoid-"
"RECRUITED!"

What has this place come to.

You solely brought Switzerland up to a 15th place yourself SPW.

Cough. He's only done 95% of that!

Oh I never said I watched all of the games. Only when there was a "top notch" match like Mablak vs franz or the likes, I watched the full set. I really can't remember exactly which games I found the most entertaining. There were a couple great games in there.
