The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

May I ask why they should not be in competition? It's the same reason there is no persistent stats or leaderboard in multiplayer. Competition fosters hostility. People will take it way too seriously, get obsessed with being in "first place" and start getting angry at each other. It is not...

Downloads measure a waste of resources, both at the server side and also on the side of the user. Assuming that the user's internet connection is cheap, you still waste the time of the user testing the addon. It is important for the health of the project that the addon with the most downloads is at...

If I recall correctly, during installation the game should have asked if you wanted to store your userdata in My Games or in Program Files.

because of it, the add-ons with more downloads are more likely to get more downloads

And ...?

This is my point. You decided that that matters and that it's apparently important to be in "first place".

This is very well done! Kudos on the effort.

I have added it to the Important Links for New Users global announcement.

But the download count is an add-on ranking system No it's not. You decided that it was going to be a meaningful metric for the success of your add-on, and now you're so upset that you're not in "first place" that you're on the forums flinging accusations and vitriol at a fellow Wesnoth m...

Ironically, this thread is pretty much the perfect example of why there should never be an add-on rating system.

Not really. I don't hang around the Wesnoth lobby these days. I am generally on IRC on weekends and in the evenings (EST) on weekdays though if you want to set up a game that way.

Are you sure you're in the right thread?

Yes, the public forums is not the place to discuss this. You can PM the multiplayer moderators with this link.

Thread locked.

I haven't done it yet, but apparently it works if you don't stare directly at the paradox.

i dont understand, why OP in this thread are always on bottom post? and why the heck your rank became banned from the future, is that even possible? are we get trolled or what? :hmm: It's quite simple. That post is from the future. You see, later this year, I plan to convince shadowmaster to travel...
