Should real time count on Ladder?

[makmak]

Imho real time games should not count on Ladder score the same way as standard games.

A good idea might be ladder points for RT games to be chopped in half for both win and loss

[Igor]

Any reasons for this?

Any reasons for this?

imho RT is kind of quick play that several irrelevant factors may affect the result
Someone could play 15-20 RT in a week and get the number of pts as someone playing the same games a whole season
Just an opinion...

I don't see any reason not to count games played in real time even though I don't play them myself. Reality is that players who play large numbers of real time games still are competing. Unless a seperate real time ladder were created it would be unfair to real time players to exclude them from ladder. And if fast decision making is key to victory it favors better players just as regular games favor players who take time to understand the map and game situations better.

He didnt say 'not count towards the ladder', but 'count half'

Indeed that was my suggestion

What exactly factors?

Ghm... 15-20 RT games per a week mean 2-3 games per every day. Such activity in our little comunity should be only welcome

Someone may play a game with set time limit 1 days per turn and complete the game in 2-3 days, having row of such games in the same time. And another one can set 5 days per turn and play the only game during 4-6 months.
There are different possible settings, anyone sets as he wish, incuding RT mode.

Makmak, at my look you have written no reasons to change something in this. Better if an appinion is based on something.
RT games need to get some bugs fixed, but this should be a thread for Bug Forum.

[makmak]

Factors such us, connection timeout bad refresh in screen etc

[Igor]

Weak connection for some players shouldn't be a reason to make changes in RT games for all players.
Makmak, did you try to contact your Internet provider? May be he will hep you to solve that.

Could it be it's own ladder perhaps?
