C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
Thank you EA, for paying for a site running a half-working WOL and using innapropriate pop-ups ads. Thanks for supporting a buggy, shitty ladder site that isn't any different from the 1000 other ladder sites online. Thank you so much!
They need to take a moment and reconsider where they should drop their cash.
You raise a good point, althought I don't suggest EA should be harsher on XWIS, just alil more moderation (but like they care anyway)
Moreover, Xwis' strike team shouldn't need advertisements at all. The servers that run Xwis are paid for by EA. They state they kept the adds to pay for sending costs for prices for the ladder winners. Considering Renegade still has no ladder and if it has, couldn't possibly be subject for a price winner for the ladder as Xwis does nothing at all about cheaters on Renegade (so a cheater could easely win the prices), I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I WOULD HAVE TO BEAR WITH THE ADDS. As for clanwars.cc, a downtime can happen to anyone, I guess.
Why was my post deleted? Sure it didn't really focus on the topic but I find it strange that it was removed without any notice.
Quote: Thanks for supporting a buggy, shitty ladder site that isn't any different from the 1000 other ladder sites online. We had a good half hour's downtime. The thing about our ladder, compared to the original WOL ladder, is that when our ladder suffers brief downtime, game data is not lost - games are still reportable when the site is operational again. Our ladder VERY RARELY suffers downtime. It certainly suffers less downtime than the Renegade servers themselves, under either EA or XWIS's management. It also suffers downtime on a rarer basis than the official Renegade forums, the ones on which we are currently posting. The old WOL ladder suffered downtime and erratic behaviour on a weekly basis, and when it did, game data was lost forever and the only way you could get games added was - wait for it - on the unofficial Clanwars.cc ladder. Once again we're the only ones who can help you out clan-ladder-wise, just like we are now and have been for ten months and counting. As for it being "no different from the 1000 other ladder sites online", could you give me an example of a website that's been hosting a consistent Renegade league for as long as and with the same level of functionality and professionalism that Clanwars.cc has? Thanks, Spoony @ Clanwars.cc.

Indeed. At CW we have two prize brackets for winners - free EA games (EA handle that, obviously) and some C&C collectible items. I pay for those out of my own pocket, including the shipping, and have never asked anyone for donations or ads to support that cost. I'll also make damn sure they don't get sent to a cheater...
MaidenTy1 wrote on Sun, 10 September 2006 02:47 It also suffers downtime on a rarer basis than the official Renegade forums, the ones on which we are currently posting. Funny, according to the logs that my monitoring software keeps, RenegadeForums and all other BHS sites have 99.81% uptime, leaving 11 hours, 6 minutes, and 53 seconds of downtime this entire year, INCLUDING the times when my own cable internet was down which would easily encompass most of that time. However, if you're talking about the 2-3 minutes of "hang time" every 2 hours, that would be because the database is locked every other hour, on the hour, for database backups, which are necessary to retain most of our data in the event that some child decides he wants to mess with us. What are your stats? Or do you even have them? Don't open your mouth and make accusations like that unless you're prepared to prove it.

I can't prove this with statistics, but I know it for certain simply because I've been consistently overseeing. Crimson wrote on Sun, 10 September 2006 05:01 Don't open your mouth and make accusations like that unless you're prepared to prove it. Rich coming from yourself, considering the amount of idiotic and baseless public accusations you've made about my website... that thread on XWIS would be an excellent example, as would be our recent conversation by e-mail about your ladder project. Another shining example, while we're on the subject of people messing with your forums, how about when you were absolutely dead sure that *I* hacked this site (and your proof was an irrelevant comment which you twisted and took out of context), and it turned out to be nothing whatsoever to do with me at all?
MaidenTy1 wrote on Sun, 10 September 2006 06:56 blah blah blah. This is an attempt to make an arguement without the required evidence.
You're a pathetic hypocrite. You're not only avoiding everything I just said, you also COMPLETELY fail to prove your original statement: Quote: buggy I've already asked you to justify this and you clearly couldn't. Quote: shitty ladder Again, I asked you to justify this too... again, you couldn't. Quote: isn't any different from the 1000 other ladder sites online. third time and you still can't back up a word you say... In other words, your entire "contribution" to this thread in regards to Clanwars.cc is Quote: an attempt to make an arguement without the required evidence.

Personally, I think the main people to blame here are EA. Although, I do think that there are overreactions on both sides here, but I dont intend to join the argument. I just think things could be done better from all sides. Nobody is perfect!
Then again, I cant help but jump on the bandwagon... I really hate sites that cant be bothered to make themselves multi-browser compatible... And also, I dislike sites that are made almost entirely of graphics, like that one. I might have Megabit DSL, but they still break up the page while loading. This is probably just me griping though.
LOL Jonty. Btw, go OpenTTD. Just to touch off on this:

snipler wrote on Sun, 10 September 2006 13:41 You have no idea what you are talking about. If you had any knowledge of ASP.NET and how it works then you would know that that is a client side problem, and not server side. So don't go blaming the clanwars.cc server for a problem that is on your end.
I don't pretend to know anything about how to code a website, but our league was indeed down for a good half hour or so.... congratulations, he's right about ONE thing, if a little over-dramatic at the same time...

I disaggree with all the rude comments towards clanwars. Shit happens, and if a site goes down, you can't really do anything about it, you can blame Intel for downtimes

Okay, I have to correct my own post here. It was a server side problem, but how does that contribute to clanwars.cc being crap? It doesn't. Every server has its problems one day or another, and its people like you who jump on it when these mishaps do happen. clanwars.cc is not crap, and atleast they are contributing to the Renegade community. If it wern't for clanwars.cc, there would not be a decent clan/ladder system. Aside from that, if you really think that clanwars.cc is complete and utter crap, I would love to sit back and watch you create a clan/ladder system like they have and prove to everyone that is, indeed, better.
They would prob hire somone to make a ladder 1/10 as sucessful as clanwars. clanwars is a very sucessful ladder system, which if I am not mistaken, has enough decency to have EA atleast donate to them, I want to see anyone get enough respect to get a huge company to donate atleast $10 to them. As for the advertisements, I really don't care, and I don't know if clanwars does have ad's or not, but if you have those kind of ads on your pc and no one else does, try lowering the ammount of porn on your computer
EA supply us with hundreds of dollars' worth of prizes every month for players, and they (and we) ask nothing in return from the players other than that they behave themselves and follow the rules. Various other companies offer prizes too. I know it's "cool" to bash EA and everything, but what they're doing is brilliant. As for ads, we have a small google banner which takes up a fractional part of the league page, and they are typically related to gaming servers etc... therefore being of potential benefit to players. They don't impose, they don't pop out at you.
Basic marketing appears to be anything but brilliant to me.
LESS DISCUSSION, MORE PICTURE WARS.

How about patching the God damn game instead of wasting (not really, since you're buying into it) the money on cheap marketing tactics/moves (involves prizes and whatever else) to reinvigorate their image and augment their sales? (EA handing its services over to the community isn't something you should see as good in the first place)

Don't dodge my question. Thanks. As for EA handing services over to the community, well, putting aside the other aspects of "services" which have been handed over to groups such as XWIS and BHS, we are perfectly fine with handling the clan ladder. It's not simply a replacement to the original WOL ladder - it's better than the original WOL ladder, and I say that without a hint of ego or bias.

No, I'm not a Communist, they have indeed the right to do this, you qualified their move(s) as brilliant, which is by far, false. Brilliant would be actual product support, and apart from the "new" (repackaged (or whatever the correct term is to define it) version of the recent one that excluded (yes) Renegade) version of the Level Editor (or those prizes, which are technically worthless), EA has failed their duty to support this game. "What would you rather they spent those hundreds of dollars a month on?" Read: Fixing the game. Sure we're doing a better job than they did, sure! But the truth is, it's not even our job, it's theirs. I feel bad for all the people who bought Earth and Beyond, seriously.

Comrade wrote on Mon, 11 September 2006 03:25 I feel bad for all the people who bought Earth and Beyond, seriously. Me too, because I bought it some time ago and when I finnaly wanted to try it(2 years ago in summer), it would no longer work. Well, at least I got it in a cheap bundle with C&C Renegade, Need for Speed(can't remember which one), and Freedom Force. How was the game anyway? Was it worth it?
Comrade wrote on Mon, 11 September 2006 03:25 you qualified their move(s) as brilliant, which is by far, false.

PlanetC&C Renegade SDK 14:02 PST | Dario | Print News | Mail News According to Red Alert: A Path Beyond (and later confirmed by EA's Predator at CnC Den), EA will be releasing a new Renegade SDK.

Simply the community, isn't that rather obvious? "...worthless? Any game might grip you the way Renegade has gripped the majority of people on this forum at some point. I guess Renegade is "technically worthless" as well, then?" I wasn't targetting any game (hell, I didn't even know what they were (specifically) handing out to you, but I assumed it included t-shirts, games, etc.). Worthless because other than making a few morons happy and... Oh yeah, maybe it's brilliant after all, because they can get away with not doing their work, as it makes people like you apparently happy. Yes, we all know that online petitions work! About Earth and Beyond: They bought a game and what, like, a year after their purchase EA shuts it down (unprofitability leads to loss of support when consumers are dealing with Electronic Arts). I could compare this to Dell not recalling a certain battery from a laptop that is affected by the current "lol exploding battery" drama because it didn't get enough sales.

Running a ladder doesn't do anything to fix a game, or get EA to do it's job. It merely allows EA to NOT perform their job.

Who cares, if ours is better than the old auto league? Isn't that a little bit more important than who runs it? You're focusing on all the wrong details here...
what im getting at, is, instead of fixing bugs, they hand things to the community. im not saying this is a problem that the community has control, but ea could have at least fixed all the bugs before they handed it over(bugs i am on about are things like the blue hell glitch and so on)

Sorry, but so many of you retards who post on these forums simply cannot grasp the truth here. THERE IS NO OTHER LADDER THAN THE CLANWARS.CC LADDER. I can guarantee that NONE of you could send me a link to a working renegade clanwars ladder OTHER THAN clanwars.cc. Furthermore, the clanwars.cc ladder is fully functional. Allow me to expand on this. It has: 1. The BEST clans on renegade competing monthly for prizes. 2. Extremely easy to use and self-explanitory interface. 3. Excellent moderators/admins that process requests the day they are issued. Also, they have caught and banned several people for the use of radar hack (undetectable by RG) in clan games. 4. A flawless system of manual reporting that has been working with no problems for several months. 5. No downtime except on extremely rare occasions. I would know this as I visit the site daily. And I really don't feel the need to type any more. I don't know whether it's the fact that you're jealous of cw.cc, or if it's just simply ignorance, but for whatever reason, so many unintelligent and thickheaded people on these forums (including even Crimson, it appears) cannot grasp the fact that clanwars.cc is actually a 100% legitimate, working, intact website that serves every decent clan on renegade. For those of you who are so vehemently opposed to clanwars.cc, I suggest you try it out before you continue to judge it.

Quote: that serves every decent clan on renegade I can positively say that is incorrect. Unless CW.cc serves every decent clan because a clan isn't decent if it doesn't play at CW.cc (in your mind). Then you are prooving your own point, which obviously for any intelligent being seems flawed.
1) One only has to visit the cw.cc forums to see what the so-called "decent clan community" looks like. 2) There WILL be another ladder, I daresay it will be up within the next 3-4 months. This thread has been moved to the Hot Topics forum where it seems to belong.

If EA was actually going to do something in renegade, the last thing they would probably care to fix would be the clan ladder. So using the excuse that since there's an alternative ladder, they decided not to do anything to fix the clan ladder, is just pretty stupid. If EA really cared, they'd fix major problems like ob walking and what not. Also it does seem a bit strange that only after some YEARS of the clan ranking not working, it suddenly becomes a priority. I would work more towards the new RG than fixing the clan ladder when there's already an alternative. I mean I know it takes a lot of work to completely rewrite it or whatever you had to do, but I don't think the original RG took this long. Then again, that's just me. By the way there *is* an alternative to clanwars.cc - there's the league called ESL, which is primarily european, and one of the clans I know who was in it caught a clan cheating and the ESL admins did nothing. Oh wait, yeah they did, they banned the clan that exposed the cheaters. Awesome alternative. Don't know if it's active anymore, though

I know for a fact that there isnt a single clan on renegade thats half decent that does not participate in clanwars.cc Name one that could compete with the clans on clanwars.cc. Then have them play us to back it up.

This thread has been moved to the Hot Topics forum where it seems to belong. A working auto-report ladder. In all honesty, that would be great. However, let's stop and reflect for a second on what you just said. "There WILL be another ladder"... Okay. That is then, this is now. For the next few months at least, clanwars is THE ladder. God, it must KILL you that EA actually endorses us. You seem so intent on killing clanwars.cc. (the sad thing is everyone automatically agrees with you) "I DARESAY...3-4 months"... You don't sound too sure of yourself on this. What even is the necessity for another clan ladder when the current one works fine? Look at C&C generals, for instance. It's manual ladder has been working for years. No reason that renegade's would fail. Let's be honest, Crimson. Your hate for clanwars.cc came from the early days when WL played CW in clanwars. I wasn't on WOL then, so I don't know the details. But I do know that some of the players from [CW] got on your nerves. Furthermore, you seem to get thoroughly irritated by a few "immature" people on clanwars, like wrs or soul for instance. Just ignore them ffs. The majority of people on clanwars forums are fine. We can all get along. I know we can.

I never tire of hearing this bullshit from you, and the fact you simply do not realise how horribly flawed it is. Shall I copy-paste our recent email conversation about your auto ladder project? You said you'd love my help but didn't want to involve "the clanwars.cc people" on the grounds that they're all immature. Now, I challenged you to explain exactly who you mean by this - you couldn't think of a response, but I'll happily give you another go. It can't be the admins in charge of Renegade, because we administrate the Renegade league in a mature and professional manner. It can't be any specific player because why would you need their involvement? So what did your statement mean? If your entire anti-CW argument is based on the fact that there is a minority of idiots who use it, then by the same "logic" Renguard, XWIS, Gamespy, Renegadeforums.com and every single public server is equally guilty. Crimson wrote on Wed, 13 September 2006 15:50 2) There WILL be another ladder, I daresay it will be up within the next 3-4 months. Thank god. You've only neglected it for ten months and counting, so thank god. You never gave a shit about providing clan support to Renegade until I posted that thread on XWIS. Go ahead and pretend that's untrue, I dare you. Considering how often you've publicly stated that clans and a clan league are a waste of time, etc. It's plain to me that you couldn't give two hoots whether there's a functional league, you just can't handle Clanwars.cc getting rightful credit for something. On my watch as admin/overseer of the renegade league, there has never been a single 24-hour stretch where either myself or a fellow admin wasn't there to add peoples' games, answer questions, etc. Compare that to your ten-month stretch of utter neglect.

Reminds me of Snipler or whatever the hell his/her name was, because he/she still hasn't had the common decency to admit he/she was absolutely dead wrong about every feeble point he/she attempted to make.
Jimbo27 wrote on Wed, 13 September 2006 20:18 Let's be honest, Crimson. Your hate for clanwars.cc came from the early days when WL played CW in clanwars. I wasn't on WOL then, so I don't know the details. I do know the details, even though I wasn't around then. The absolute worst anyone from [CW] did was a little forum flaming. You'd probably be quite surprised about some of the stuff WL did... it's quite funny, some of it. Everyone, and I mean everyone from [CW] back then got over all the fucked up shit that WL did A LONG time ago. Crimson is still angry at [CW] even though they didn't do anything. Go figure. I withdraw my offer to assist your ladder project, by the way.

We got beaten up by GW but then again: not many can say they haven't, can they? I remember MrPirate challenging us once but we never played him because we simply don't play people which show bad attitude. Sure, we play for fun, not in competition but we can put up a good fight against most clans. Ask PApirate. If you want to do a funwar with us, go to our forums and ask for one in a decent way, then we will arrange a date, time, number of players and maps. Might not be in a couple of days though, we try to keep it to 1-2 funwars per week and we already have some appointments. And don't give me the "I only play for CW.cc points" thing, please .
Tbh even though I <3 Jimbo I don't agree with the whole "only Clanwars.cc clans are any good" angle. At least, I believe it is LARGELY true (though not completely) but I don't find it a very tasteful statement. He's bang on about everything else.

You are probably right because exercice makes clans good but there are other ways to exercice, though you need to have many community contacts to get in contact with enough other worthful clans. clanwars.cc makes that easier. However, as anyone can join up at cw.cc, it's normal that you must also have beginning clans that aren't good. I think a statement like "you can find many good clans at clanwars.cc" would be more appropriate.

Oh, crap, I have to repeat myself again. I will continue to stand by my stance that the CW clan was in the wrong in their whining about the clan matches between WL and CW, and I will continue to agree that most of the members of WL were a bunch of crybabies. As soon as they had to actually TRY to win, they lost interest in this game. Their arguments were stupid, and good riddance to them. Can you please tattoo this on your forehead so I stop being accused of saying anything besides this?

The plain fact is making a clan ladder didn't even enter her mind until I made a thread on XWIS (who have made no efforts to create a Renegade clan ladder either) suggesting an endorsement for the Clanwars.cc ladder which was already in existence, seeing as how nobody else could be bothered to do it. Crimson tried quite surprisingly hard to stop this, although failed... mainly due to the fact her "arguments" were complete garbage. I think it was about a week later that she suddenly announced that she's always wanted to provide clan support to Renegade and is gonna fix up a new clan ladder, DESPITE her constant earlier statements that clans and a clan league are a waste of time. She didn't give a shit about the ten months of utter negligence Renegade's clan support status has had from those in authority. Yet when it seemed likely that a community she still has an irrational hatred of might get this honour, suddenly it's top of her agenda. I can put it no plainer than by saying she doesn't care about providing Renegade's clan support - she simply wants to take something away from Clanwars.cc.

Clans also run a separate ladder and could use a more complex calculation. Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006... and when did you bring this all up? Wed, 07 June 2006 03:50... and you are proven a liar. Congratulations!
Crimson wrote on Thu, 14 September 2006 03:50 How the hell can I come up with names when most of the members of that forum, from my limited observations, change their nicknames as often as they change their underwear? I can't answer this question. I can't give you specific names because I can't tell them apart. This is pathetic. If you cannot come up with one figure of authority at the Clanwars.cc Renegade league (and there are only three to select from) who is unsuitable to manage a Renegade league, then it's time to admit you didn't have a leg to stand on in the first place. And if your "clanwars.cc is not suitable to have something like this" angle is based on an individual player, rather than an official Clanwars.cc Renegade League representative, then by that sad attempt at reasoning, I could name one idiot who uses Renguard or posts here and conclude that every project of yours is equally unsuitable.

Yes, I freely admit that I haven't been available at least once every 24 hours to respond to questions for a league that I don't run. Are you happy? where I'm going with this will be explained towards the end of the post. Crimson wrote on Thu, 14 September 2006 03:50 Quote: Quote: Request? I offered assistance for your benefit, not mine... simply on the basis that I know you don't have the faintest idea how to run a successful clan ladder. As for "you're the one who came to me, remember?", you're the one who posted a thread asking people to, remember? I don't have the faintest idea how to run a successful clan ladder? Based on what? A wild hare in your ass told you so? Based on your complete lack of experience... but hey, prove me wrong.

Rich coming from yourself, considering the amount of idiotic and baseless public accusations you've made about my website... that thread on XWIS would be an excellent example, as would be our recent conversation by e-mail about your ladder project. Another shining example, while we're on the subject of people messing with your forums, how about when you were absolutely dead sure that *I* hacked this site (and your proof was an irrelevant comment which you twisted and took out of context), and it turned out to be nothing whatsoever to do with me at all? Ugh, seriously? I barely remember that. hmmm, and even when you could remember it you never retracted this false accusation (and it wasn't an "I think Spoony did it" deal, it was a "Spoony did it" deal) Crimson wrote on Thu, 14 September 2006 03:50 I find that very strange. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here, but if you want to doubt my dedication and devotion to this community, you go right ahead. Sheer hypocrisy. I don't go out of my way to criticise your projects. You, on the other hand, have been doing precisely that for as long as I can remember. Indeed, the only reason for my participation in this thread was to refute misinformation about my league... much like the ignorant bullshit you've been spouting on the same subject for some considerable time.

You fucking arrogant bitch. How does that prove me a "liar"? Last time I checked, the definition of "lying" is to make a statement you know to be untrue. Seeing as how I don't have access to this forum of which you speak, and therefore could not know of this conversation, then AT THE VERY MOST you've proven me to be mistaken. How fucking dare you label me a liar on that? Or is this another of your false accusations you won't have the spine to retract, like when you wrongly publicised the "fact" that I hacked these forums? By the way, even if you started in February, what have you proven? The fact that by your it'll-be-ready-in-four-months estimate it takes you nearly a year to accomplish something? And yet you state on the record that Clanwars.cc is "not capable of doing something like this" when our system's been in place for ages, simply because there are one or two idiots on the forums LIKE THERE ARE IN EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY OF THIS GAME? Hey, at least when there's a problem with my league that needs addressing, it doesn't take me a year to do so.
Ooh, sounds like a hit a nerve. I think I'll wait until you've calmed down a tick.
Better idea: how about you do one of the following: justify your accusation, or withdraw it? I'll lay odds you can't do 'A' and you don't have the decency to do 'B'. Just like when you wrongly said I hacked the forums... Someone with a little more decency than you would've publicly said you were wrong, instead of locking the topic and hoping everyone would forget about it. I guess it would have been too much of a blow to your ego. You're never wrong... I'll be honest, I'm surprised you didn't delete the thread entirely.
