I left one game less than 1 minute because it was too laggy to play. I don't think this violates the rules and could you unban me? my sc nickname is "stackoverflow" thanks. Your ban is time-limited, it should work again after 3 hours This is the worst rule ive heard, if this is the case i got banned (cant even recall i played today) because a guy lagged his balls off (rocco_ht) where i said 'rocco lags' and left, is this a reason to temp-ban someone? Give me a fucking break. Punish the lagger instead. All you do with this shitty rule is make people play less because they only have maybe 3 hours to play a day, and you are then banned for a whole day where you coulda played 10+ games. And aint no fucking way im gonna play a lag game where some nerd has wifi connection or gsm. No fucking way. The TR16 i suggested like 5 years ago was suppose to battle these idiot gsm/wifi users to get a fucking cable connection so we can play real games instead of 3 sec micro delay games. But instead the 'real players' gets punished and the laggers can keep on playing. Great idea. In conclusion this rule made the game deader than it already is. Agreed, its retarded, I left a game because one of our player was AFK and now Im the one being banned... nice
Welcome to parallel world where everything is upside down :D

@admin, I am one of the most active player of this bot world, and I have serious suggestions about bot operation.
1. To shift 2 bots(bot 2, bot 3) for 24/7 operation of level games. You know, 6 hours of SAB/SABC games are most popular during daily operation. Many players only play during this time, and these 2 bots immediately become full after game creation. So I suggest bot 2&3 open for SAB/SABC all the time, and bot 1&4 operated as they are now.
2. During 6 hours of level game period, to merge bot 1(for CDE) and bot 4(for DEF) into one type It is frequently seen that bot 4 is totally unoccupied and it is waste of resource. Obviously, bot 4 is not popular and not welcomed to anybody(even to DEF rankers) as of now. Please consider merging bot 1 and bot 4 into one CDEF game type.
3. To eliminate ranked games for 2 hours and shift them into 50+wins Basically 2 hours of ranked games are not necessary and has no special difference. (only new comers without rank and F rankers cannot join.) If you accept my above suggestion in point 2, F rankers also have chance to play anytime.
To summarize, I recommend you to operate bot games as hereunder. - Bot 1: 18 hours of 50+wins // 6 hours of CDEF - Bot 2: 24 hours of SAB - Bot 3: 24 hours of SABC - Bot 4: 18 hours of 50+wins // 6 hours of CDEF
Please think about it.

^^ ok if you see yourself as such. I'm sure that many people don't agree with you, it doesn't make much sense to say you're the only one to bring it up, it's already been mentioned a few times before. But it is what it is, other options have also been listed to get around the 3 minute rule, but I can't and don't want to give you everything on a silver platter. Read above or create multiple accounts as soon as one of your accounts has a 3h ban, use then other. I'm not a fan of this rule either because it doesn't make sense to me. Especially since a rule was introduced 3 minutes ago for the purpose of 4pool or cr strats, the admin is overriding his own rules. Strats like this are what are being played more often again. Adapt to that, use the tips above, I hope/think that works for you @ MeSaber

In the end it's just an admin and it could be better, but it's always better than nothing and he also responds to requests or suggestions for changes if they make sense or if several players see it the same way. Therefore the ladder is quite acceptable

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. However, I’ve spent a lot of time playing this bot game, so I’m speaking from a place of deep experience. My suggestion is about fixing what I see as problems, not just accepting things as they are. If you’d like to join the conversation, I’d appreciate it if you could share your thoughts on the specific points I raised. Sticking to the way things have always been might feel comfortable, but it doesn’t help the bot game improve.

Agreed, when the bots changed to 20 or whatever it was to 50+ wins, this eliminated the need for a differentiation between ranked and unranked. Chances are the game is going to be about the same in terms of skill, ie huge variations and not very playable. Most people just sit out and wait on the SAB/SABC games to appear instead of playing boring games.
The SAB/SABC 24/7 would definitely be better. These two games account for about 95% of the good BGH games on Europe. One other thing that would be awesome would be to make one of the SABC/SAB bots into SA during those 6 hours and have a very good bot going, then the rest of the time go back to SABC. The thing I'm seeing typically is the SABC bot turns into CCC vs CCB or something of this nature for many of the games. Everyone that is above C rank just sits and waits for SAB to open, then it becomes BBA vs BBS or something. Which is better but the games that are SA only, are way more fun.
