Ladder Speed

Hey again, its me. I got another question. Me and my friend had never played a ladder game before so we decided to test it out. When I looked at the speed it said fast. I wanted to move it to fastest but it wouldn't let me.. Is there anyway to change this, and can u make ur own ladder maps?
 
1. I don't really know what the speed problem is because I don't play ladder.

2. You can make ladder maps because some people can make "rigged" maps where 1 person has the advantage.
 
Correction to Ilendil's post: you can't make your own ladder maps, otherwise you could make a rigged map. The ladder maps included with the Starcraft CDs are the only maps you can play in a ladder game.

The speed problem is that, because ladder maps are counted for ranking, there are certain standards among all ladder games. Namely, the only speed you can play a ladder game at is fast.
 
With patches and stuff, do they come out wit new ladder maps?

And Do all of u guys play on Fastest speed? I do, and when I switch to fast, it goes hecka slow
 
The speed is set to FAST (i.e. 3/4 of the way) for ladder games. You can't change it

Only Blizzard can make official ladder maps-- if you make any changes to the maps, battle.net will reject it

The ladder maps have occasionally changed as part of the patches, although Starcraft is now "done" and I doubt you'll be seeing any changes

(although they did recently release slightly modified versions of some maps for use in the CompUSA tournament)
 
How could you rig it if you dont know where your going to be placed? Isn't it random placing in Ladder, just like melee and FFA?
 
Yes, the placement is random, but it is possible to create a map that is quite unusual and will give a definite advantage to the user who designed it.

I once played "BGH Pitbull-Style" as a Top vs. Bottom game... The players were set up left vs. top, however, and my team's(left) opponents' said they were on the right, but were instead at the top. Thus, when my ally and I tried to attack the enemy with a big group, we sent a lot of troops the wrong way. Also, our bases were defended from the wrong approach.

Also, although placement is random, it would be possible for a poor player to improve their number of wins by creating a 2-player game, with one of the bases loaded, and the other base only average. Then, the player could create the ladder game, and once the game began, if s/he didn't get the loaded base, s/he could quit right away, during the period of time where a quit is considered a draw.

    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts
  • jonas jonas:
    :p
  • jonas jonas:
    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales

    That's an arbitrary number. It could be whatever you want, really. Though one wonders what the use case is for uploading giant files to a forum these days.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I should have asked elsewhere but i wanted vsnes to see he is trying to upload a pic no big deal it can stay where it is.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    That was a fun trip. Next time I am going to get some kind of water thing like a kayak or something to boat out n the lake, maybe get a place with a pier on it.
