Gamebattles Ladder (MLG) [Delete the other one]
 

Hey guys,
Figured out a way for us to pull this off so we can enjoy all the great features GameBattles has to offer, including a challenge system, match finder, a ladder, forum, stream, match resolution and more.

For anyone who has never heard of MLG, its the Major League Gaming circuit and it's used to host tournaments and run regular season ladders among the most popular games.

The plan for us Graalians is to join under a dead ladder like 'Black OPs II' which has no activity. Pretty simple. The link for the the ladder is provided below.

The link is http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming...-black-ops-ii/

Sign up, Pick a Ladder, create your team, and lets start challenging.

ALL DEVICES ARE WELCOME TO SIGN UP!

Ladder Rules and Info:

Refs/Hosts: Demrow, CrimeWatcher, Zetectic

Contact Demrow or CrimeWatcher in-game by messaging them for any questions about the tournament. All referees and tournament hosts can be found easily in the guild (Tournament Host)

Team Size:
Just like the actual GST, each team will have 5 core players, and an optional 2 substitute players.


Official Graal Spar Rules:
This tournament is for players of all devices; iDevice, PC, Android, etc.
5v5:First guild to reach 5 wins is victorious.
2v2:First guild to reach 10 wins is victorious (Right now for Premium members only)
1v1:First competitor to reach 5 or 10 wins (which ever is agreed upon) is victorious.

Starting The Match:
Before starting the match between two guilds, a trial/practice match will occur beforehand to determine whether it is too laggy to spar or not. Each team must come to an agreement to decide if they want to start the official matches. If not, the match will be postponed to a later date.

Report Match:
1)Go to your Team
2)Under 'Upcoming and Recent Matches' click 'View Details'
3)On the Right hand side of the screen find 'Report Match'
4) Enter in results

Side Note: For 1v1 Matches the series is up to 5 but the ladder is set up as best of 5 so there is a restriction on how many games you can enter. For the winner just enter 3 and the loser just enter 2.

Requirements:
You and the opposing guild leader are responsible for posting the results of the match. If a ref is needed to oversee the match. Contact a referee or (Tournament Host)

Match Rules:
If a player is warped out due to a notification (text message, low battery percentage, etc.) in the beginning of a match, it will be restarted. Players warped out in the middle of a live match will not be declared as a restart as this can be abused to avoid a loss.
If a player sparring is lagging tremendously and is completely frozen at the start of a match, a restart will be declared.
If a player is frozen during a live match and the team he/she is on is at a disadvantage (1v3) the team with 3 players left will earn an automatic win. If the match is in progress with an even amount of players (5v5), the match will be restarted.

To create a team:

1)Follow the link (http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming...-black-ops-ii/)
2)Click "Create a Team" on the right hand side of your screen
3)Select a Ladder (Team ladder) for 5v5 GST style matches
4)Fill out guild name, and put your graal gamertag in
5) Create Guild!

There are ladders for 1v1, 2v2, and 5v5 also so whatever you prefer.

Ahh, this is sort of like anthers ladder (aka: smashladder). But isn't this like the guild spar arena at the battle arena but with a 2v2 option?

Gamebattles is a tournament/seasonal ladder system used by competitive games such as CoD, Halo, LoL (Barely though their in game ladder is pretty strong), and many other games.

I'd like to get a 5v5 ladder going but I think before we do that we test the waters with a
2v2 ladder and work our way up to 5v5.

Basically what you would do is
-create a team
-add your partner (in the case of 2v2)
-Send or find a challenge
-Start your match at the time and day specified
-Record results on gamebattles website

Gamebattles website will record
-win/losses
-Point/xp that actually makes sense
-reputation(so if you're a troll with a bad rep, people can avoid you)

Nice

incoming mlg 420 graal dorito players

First 1v1 match has been completed

Barney vs Demrow
Show's how to submit results at the end!

What if the match outcome is different and the one who lost posts wrong info on the website for trolling?Wouldn't it ruin the ladders?

People do that stuff all the time in gb, you would need to get a website admin and dispute with evidence that you won.

Good questions. If the match outcome is different and no ticket is submitted then the match is void. If someone acts like a troll and maliciously try's to ruin the ladder you can give them a bad rep so others can avoid them and submit a ticket to have them banned.

And what if the troll also gives you -rep for the love of trolling?

@Aguzo I wouldn't take the ladders seriously until this is done.We need someone to control all this ****.

They can negative rep you and lets say you have 10 matches and 9 positive reps and 1 negative, you're in good shape. Compared to the Troll who has 5 matches and all 5 negative rep, I think it will eventually even itself out and you'll know who to avoid.

LOLOLOLOLOL
GRAAL GBs
I LITTERALY NEVER THOUGHT ID SEE THE DAY

Have fun kiddies

Update: The 2v2 ladder is now open to everyone. It was premium members only but I got that reversed.

Contacted Ron (ladder admin) and we now have an admin that will work on our ladder and handle any disputes. Avoid disputes if possible but be aware that we are in the Black Ops ladder so talking about Graal will not be understood by the admin.

I have applied to become an admin to hopefully handle all tickets and issues myself.

what are the prizes?

I'd ask you to be on my team but the way you play Titan Fall I'm not sure you're good enough with gaming to do good

Jokes, you and me versus the world let's beat them all :love: (being serious)

Good question. I would eventually like to start an entry fee and the season winner gets the jackpot and 2nd place wins their money back type deal. Obviously the money would need to be handled by someone everyone trusts.

If we get enough people started on this, next season I will provide a $15 dollar iTunes card or something of that nature. I'd like to get at east 50 people on the 1v1 ladder and get the 2v2 ladder going now.

Mission get people on board and active is my main goal right now. Any other prize suggestion, feel free to share.

Also when creating a team for the Ladders make sure it's identifiable to other Graalians. For 1v1 your team name should just be your Graal nickname. For 5v5 your guild name ex.(BDB), and for 2v2 ex.(Demrow and Asersus)

There would be a dispute battle button or cancel match and then it would have you input a reason saying something like: I won and he clicked the win button!. It's then reported to an moderator and they can look up the users rep to see if they've done similar things in the past to see if they're lying. You could also take a screenshot. This method also works for people who may turn off their device when they're about to lose saying they're device died and if they could get another shot or they're mom called them or something along the lines of that. And if they keep lying about match results, a mod could ban them from doing ranked matches and they can only do free matches (free or ranked matches both being a thing isn't confirmed I'm just giving an example).

Much love, pal.

WHy don't you peeps ask them MLG doods to just give graal classic a ladder in the mini games section.Things would get alot easier.

About 3-4 months ago I went through a long process of trying to do this with Ron who runs all the ladders he basically told me that there's isn't a strong enough following for him to want to create a Graal specific ladder. Which is why we're taking a dead ladder over

So if the dead ladder you are using gets enough attention... Would that think of a classic specific ladder¿

It definitely gives us a better chance

*Sigh*, I just don't see this happening without an official ladder, and better servers.

Better servers, more activity from sparrers.
More people, specific ladder generated.

So many issues would be resolved with just one simple upgrade...

I have to time my net to catch a .... butterfly. Btw I caught the rare green one today :)

This is far better than what we had before? You can use this as much or as little as you want. This a massive step forward.

Demrow vs Colin (HUGE SHOCKER!)
 

Let's see if Colin is a man of his word!

BTW I didn't start any of this. Not one word was spoken to Colin. He challenged me two days ago and loser has to quit. He didn't show up and called me out in guild spar for dying fast so we sparred and you can see him complaining and making excuses.

Surprising to see colin actually kind of knows how to spar - However, It's sad to see a "forum leader" act like that.
I have a feeling this post/thread will be deleted and/or banned so colin can hide his true self away.

Great now this thread is gonna get closed

Thread won't be closed or deleted, and I haven't sparred much in the 2015 year so thanks (was just GS'ing with random new players because I was bored) - I only brought up those facts because he invited a bunch of people to cheer lead like he was really good and all that (had low HP most of the matches anyway).

GG, but as I said earlier I wasn't going to waste any serious time on this on his other thread about it read here and you'll know why. (for those lazy to read, he was already suppose to quit graal and the forums but didn't so I told him I wasn't wasting time on him because of those reasons, this was a late-night bed spar because he kept nagging about it)

Again, GG and feel free to continue posting 1vs1 matches or Gamebattle related things but no need to drag this on or turn the thread to be all about it.

I'm not replying anymore either since nothing to talk about it.

Fact: Colin Challenged me to a series and loser quits Graal
Fact: Colin Loses challenge
Fact: Colin Does not quit graal
Fact: Colin is a hypocrite

Nobody in history has ever followed through with that kind of promise, so I don't know why you got your hopes up.

BTW this was our bet before he calls me a hypocrite

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't like people who talk to people in a manner they don't deserve. Colin is constantly angry and although he doesn't like what I say he follows every post and makes some piece of **** response. This is a game and If he wants to act like a big mouth then I'd like to see the kind of person I'm dealing with. I predicted he's a friendless, lonely person with a disorder which he admitted too and if he shows me one picture of him with the opposite sex I'll delete my graalians as there is no point in having it in the first place."

Fact: Colin showed me a picture of him with a 12 year old girl
Fact: I deleted my Graalians account

Never expected him too, not the point. This kid speaks of being a man of his word, I want it to sink in that he's just a giant hypocrite.

oh and P.S it literally just happened and you are already saying I haven't quit when you gave me no time too, I already said I wasn't taking this serious as mentioned earlier but you won't see me logging in anymore (because I keep my word, even when I already said I wasn't doing it because you didn't)


Now stay on topic!!

Isn't that you posting that you would quit Graal, delete SLX and delete your Graalians account if Colin showed a snapshot with a random girl?
http://www.graalians.com/forums/show...&postcount=112

Quit Graal for 3 months, Deleted my Graalians, and Gave up leadership. Not a bad deal considering I don't even know what Colin looks like and he could of posted any picture of anyone with a girl

Now Dante. If you send me a picture of your wife and she's not absolutely disgusting. I'll disband Hall of Legionnaires. How's that sound buddy?

So the rules changed? You only have to quit for a little while? Then you gave up leadership when you can clearly disband a guild? Who is the ****ing hypocrite now?

If anything this thread has gone off-topic and needs to be locked. This guy literally took a good idea and ran it into the ground. It won't recover.

But damn Colin you saying he has no life and he spars religiously is uncalled for and unessesary. You would think a moderator would show responsibility and respect even outside fourm like in real life or in a game. Things like this make people wonder if you're really fit to be a moderator.

You are the only person who has any sort of care for the life people have outside of Graal, particularly in trying to call people out on things to make yourself feel good. You won the spar series, that should be enough. If this is the kind of stuff you're going to do on the forums (again) then it would be far better off if you left them (again).

If I learned anything from talking with Colin, that was a joke more than anything rude. Besides, everyone here is ALIVE, right? So we all should have lives, correct?

That's too bad, you should have pointed out somewhere in the post that it was only for three months and that Colin had to provide better proof. He did absolutely everything you asked and you didn't follow up with the bet.

Colin is absolutely right; you have zero credibility.

the thread can be remade. I didn't put this post in here dumbass. Look to your moderator purposely trying to derail threads. That bet between Colin and I changed to me just deleting my graalians account other wise that bet seems really unbalanced, no? Him and I made an agreement and he sent his pic and I deleted.

You are incorrect. The bet changed.

Any respect I have for SLX members has been thrown out the window and pissed on. You are a shame to the guild you represent.

Woah woah, just cause this is going on doesn't mean you have to take it out on the whole guild. I'm no hypocrite on my stance on generalizations.

Holy smokes Pickles.

Default
It's 12PM here pal, day has barely started, and someone's already coming over later for a bit
From Colin:
Also, I already have photos with me and a few girls but I want to take one today just to show you I can get people to hang out with me when I ask, they won't be around until after dinner but I'll send it to you via forum PM when they come over. I can guarantee you won't delete your Graalians account though, you're always all talk.

The bet changed here and in game conversations were had regarding this which is why Colin is not using this in his defense.

So..your apologies are all accepted;)

And Fulgore. This is a game, nothing in this game matters. The reason I bring up real life stuff is because ITS REAL. I only do this when keyboard warriors like Colin try and start something. Deep down the kid knows he lashes out because he's not happy with the situation he's in. You find me one thread where I was the aggressor towards Colin.

I'm happy and live a pretty solid life and tend to protect others when they can't protect themselves.

What a twist when OP kills their own thread.

Wait...that actually happens a lot around here.

Why would you quit Graal for 3 months and give up leadership if the bet was only to delete your Graalians account? You're lying buddy. Just admit that you're a hypocrite and you're too invested in Graal to ever quit and I will stop posting.

Alright to even shorten this. I was banned for a year so the bet was changed because there was no way for me to access my account and even delete the gulld

Hence why instead of Colin saying "I guarantee you won't delete SLX (which is way more important)" he just said "I guarantee you won't delete your graalians" case closed go accuse more people of hacking that beat you in spar you moron

Closing because argument won't stop and is just getting worse.

To clarify, the bet never changed and it's obvious in the way you keep editing posts and changing what you say, I only said "delete Graalians" because we were discussing it here and not in-game. I just don't care enough to argue with you over it.

Your previous post said whatever problem we had is between you and I so keep it that way and stop making everything public, you also have been attacking other members who are simply pointing out the obvious and that isn't needed here.

End of discussion, and yes I am no longer playing the game because I stick to my word.

P.S you made this whole thing public from the start not me, I wasn't even home when it happened.

Repost thread if you want, but keep it on topic this time.
