Ulthuan Battle Ranking signup / game topic

#1 Post by Prince of Spires »

Welcome to the Ulthuan Battle Ranking

What is it
The Ulthuan Battle Ranking is a place where people can log their games vs other battle ranking players. The main games are those played on http://www.universalbattle.com (UB), but real warhammer games are just as valid to post here. Credits to the idea go to Wicksi, who created the Universal Battle combat score topic.

The ranking is simple, as you win games against other ranked players you gain points. When you lose, you lose points. The bigger the ranking difference between the players, the more points you win or lose.

Goal of the battle ranking
There are 2 goals to the battle ranking

- Play more games. The ranking should provide a list of people looking for games on UB and/or offline.

- Create a scoreboard ranking (which again should lead to more games).

How does it work
- Sign up.
Sign up by posting the following information here
Username on Ulthuan.net
Username on UB
Timezone/country/location/time you are likely to be online (one of them so people have an idea of when to expect you online).

- Get a game organized. For the moment, this topic will serve for finding opponents. Just post here when you are looking and what kind of game you are looking for (points total, comp type etc).

- post results in the ranking thread (topic will appear shortly). As results are posted, the ranking will be calculated.

I'd be up for a game tonight if you are still looking. GMT -5 though, might be a bit late for you. I'll be home by 4:00 or so.

I'll throw my hat in the ring too:

EST (GMT -5)

I can play Elves, Vamps or Empire. I am currently working on my thesis and teaching though (through Spring 2015) so availability is limited.

Edit: I've also been having issues connecting to the lobby depending on where I am. I can connect at home but bot at work or at my wife's house. It must be IP related or something to do with the ports, etc. So depending on where I am I may or may not be able to play. I've posted in the UB forum and am waiting on an answer or a fix.

Game vs pk-ng got postponed due to UB instability issues. Tentative continuation date is Sunday in a week, 2PM CET. We will try to continue from where we left off based on a screenshot, however we both need to agree to the result otherwise we'll just start over from scratch. We are playing HE-DE ETC - Dragons on both sides :D

I don't know if it requires a premium membership but you can actually save the game. It downloads a text string that you can then save and reupload to UB at some point to continue the game

Yes, I know. The problem was that we both thought we disconnected so we tried to refresh.

If you really stretch it you can fit 4 HE Dragons into a 2400 point list with the new 50% allocations ;)

Unfortunately we will likely be starting the game from scratch using other lists. We expect draft 2 to be up by the time we are ready to play again which means we'll both have to reconsider our lists. Anyway, a game will happen at some point and I'll post about it here!
