Campaign bug: The South Guard

Both scenario 3 and 4 have defeat objective of “Death of Minister Hylas”. However, I do not see that character anywhere on the map. I played scenario 3 through and still no sign. I am guessing that maybe this is because I won scenario 2 by killing the enemy leader and perhaps Minister Hylas was supp...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Huumy, You have some partly legitimate questions, and scenarios, I agree. In statistics we call them: lurking variables and correlated data. Let me assure you that there are well accepted statistical methods to deal with these common problems in real life and I happen to know them in depth. Since yo...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Without any kind of proof I don't even see how this is relevant, it seems the admins and atleast neki are coming to somekinda conclusion. I hope that vote dates were logged, so there should be some kind of proof. If you need statistical evidence, that is pretty easy to do with some p value calculat...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

I noticed that during the past 12 hours there were 11 votes for "OK" in “multi-aliasing in ladder” poll and 0 votes for being "lame". Apparently some aliases feel very strong about the issue of keeping aliases. :) . When people are willing to go to this extreme, I am not sure how...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Plz, no OT here. In Wesnoth ladder-thread on Wesnoth forums, I'm only interested in Wesnoth ladder and possible ladder solutions. On the contrary, finding the list of cheating is step 1 in understanding the problem. Once you have the list, you can work on a solution. I think this is exactly what sh...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Thank you for the comments. However, I do not need suggestions on how to develop the game, all I asked for is how can you CHEAT in Wesnoth ladder. The game is not based on Wesnoth and development started from basically scratch. The idea is very solid and no need for contribution in that department. ...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Dear ladder community, Regarding Rigor’s post of having an idea that has “potential to make everybody happy”, I am sorry to report that after reading the post several times, it does not make me happy, so word “everybody” is off the table. The idea, AGAIN, is based on TRUST of people not cheating and...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

i think we should do a poll. my problem with the existing poll is: results are quite unclear - about a third for each option I think you did not think this one through anoel. If you hold a poll and want to make a decision based on that, how will you tell apart alias votes from legitimate player vot...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Because sometimes players want another accounts just to try somethings , I would claim that most of the time people do things to please themselves first instead of doing harm to others. I think that rapists, thieves, robbers, and burglars already claimed this reason. Perhaps we should just all agre...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Oook, When I asked you to prove that you are not Nani, I did not accuse you by this. It was certainly not a personal attack from my side. I am sorry if you felt that way. It was a simple question for which due to current ladder settings you are not able to give a satisfactory answer. The point is th...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Oook, Leo losing 7 points on you and you gaining 25 on Leo is not a proof that you are not the same (looks like a good deal to me if you are both). Maybe you are Dauntless or Cremember, or maybe all the 4. Or if you are not, then maybe someone else has 100 accounts. I don’t see how you can prove tha...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Thank you Faello and Insinuator for giving point by point response to OOK’s so called analysis. OOK’s analysis is nothing but a collection of examples, assumptions, and narrowing down the wide range of situations to self preferred scenarios. (such as “account with a fairly consistent rating”, “assum...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Nelson, This is an outstanding catch. Prime example of multiple accounts and owner not even admitting it (unlike Leocrotta). So do admins ban both Cremember and Horde_King now, and Dauntless too, since why would they get different treatment than Leocrotta? As painful as it sounds this ladder has bec...

Re: Ladder Site Online...

Wow, what an extensive discussion and still not touching on the real issues! First, regarding SalsaRocoto’s comment about people’s account being epidemic of aliases: Tahargl: 1711, 15 games 12 wins GodOfWar : 1711, 15 games 11 wins DrakeLord : 1776, 16 games 11 wins Exper: 1788, 39 games 29 wins Kab...

Player’s units should consider neutrals a threat

As an example I use Legend of Wesmere campaign. 1.Scenario 9. I gave order to one of my units (Anduilas) to go 15,17, which was projected to take 3 turns. At the end of turn 1, two Yetis moved into his sight. At the beginning of turn 2 Anduilas changed his projected path to avoid the Yetis, but cont...
