Conquer Club

1. If a new rule proposal is posted, please send me a PM. I will not be actively monitoring this thread when there are no active discussions.
2. If you propose a rule change, please give reasons why and how it will help the Ladder. Be prepared to have it shot down, torn up, ripped to shreds, and finally pooped out. It's not personal, but we want to see the positives and negatives of any proposed rule change.
3. Just because a rule is discussed does not mean it will be adapted. I do run all proposed rule changes through my Small Council.
4. After a proposed rule has been discussed thoroughly, I will mark it TABLED. A Tabled discussion will not be reopened for future discussion, unless an exploitable loophole is discovered.
5. If a proposed rule does get adopted, I may wait to institute it with the next Ladder Reset.
6. Please no negative comments (other than normal trash talking) about a player's comments in the discussion. The Ladder was created for the players and I feel that every player's opinion (except Lord Arioch and MGSteve ) does matter.

I like the idea. Would also give someone not able to challenge anyone the ability to make a challenge if they're bored and/or feeling a little frisky

Not too long ago I was at #4 and couldn't challenge anyone cause #1, #2, & #3 where all being challenged which was kinda lame tbh

celliottii wrote:Going with El's proposed idea, I could add a symbol (DC) when they challenge down...and a 2 (DC2) when they are going for their second challenge down. That way, I can keep track of a player's movement without having to do extra research.

If Down Challenger (DC) wins the first challenge, nothing happens. If the DC wins the second challenge, they move DOWN to that spot and the losing player would move down one spot as well...No sense in moving a losing player up one spot, they didn't earn it.

If the DC loses their second challenge, the winning player moves up to their spot and DC only moves down.

A DC can challenge as far down as they want. No sense in limiting how far they want to fall. All other rules would apply, as applicable.

MGSteve wrote:PROPOSED RULE DISCUSSION: Lose #1 Spot, Start Over I've said it before and I'll say it again: Whenever a current throne holder loses a challenge, (is dethroned) they should be moved to the bottom rung of the ladder. When despots are overthrown, they don't get to still hang out in the palace. They're removed from society. Lions who lose their status as pride leader don't get to chill with the lionesses. They're run off or killed. The idea of the ladder is to climb from the lowly depths to the dizzying heights in an attempt to grab the brass ring and sit on the throne. Once you're overthrown, you need to fall to the bottom to regain your humility and enjoy the climb to the top again.

I actually like this proposal...It keeps the Ladder fluid and dynamic...

dhallmeyer wrote:My question for the Down Challenge guys: why? What is gained by doing it on the ladder, and not in regular games? There's no rules on the ladder about playing outside games against ladder people.

I don't have strong opposition to the idea, I just like to keep things as simple as possible.

AND i still want to discuss how and if a team double ladder should be created and work?

One thing at a time. Not a bad idea, though.
