I have been playing ta for over 10 years and always had a lot of fun and enjoyed the friendship and competition. But, recently there was a ranking system that was created and there are 3 people that can enter the games No_Rules, Nothing_Personnel and Mangblaxto. The bad thing is, they justify wins or losses. N.P. will guess the outcome of game if it is not completed but, at least try's to be fair and Mango will rank game if it is in his favor even if game just last 30 seconds which is crazy. this is causing all kinds of strife on warzone and making playing TA not so much fun. The last game I played in, was jono, mang , and storms, south and clopse, divine, and myself north on gow 2 storms calls out north and 2 of us allie him and share e and apparently somewhere in the middle of f11 and building he calls out south without divine or myself seeing and then at over 1 min he types "nater i am north" then he bombs me which he had energy and los so I quit and mango ranks as a win for south. I am done playing with these guys and ranked games it causes the worste in people and long arguments and excessive cheating
Hope something changes quick or ta may really see a decline in players

Here here. It was good at the start but everything runs its course. Also , theres been MANY good players come back on a smurf name( which is pretty much standard practise). Join a game and get booted and leave, maybe try again then dont bother. I know this cos they have messaged with wtf's? and i tell them only team games are played nowdays and the noobs insist on no smurfs for their 'ranks'. Id some come on their regular name too and get booted by pita , but thats unavoidable!

Pita kicked TAG_ROCK from his room few years ago. Once you've seen that, you can see everything i guess.
The old players smurfing part is true. I also have few examples in mind.
About the ranking. You have to fix two things if you want it to be accurate:
1- Make rules for com bombs. The worst player of team A sharing his units and com bombing the best player of team B after 10-15 mins totally fucks up the game. And it happens quite often.
2- Make people play all games. In a 3v3, if the two best players of the game are in the same team, the other team will just quit 80% of the time.
That's why i only got 83% wins with RVD, when we've lost maybie 5 games together from 2010 to 2012.
Now you guys either make clear rules and fix it or don't complain about how fucked up the ranking is.

The problem is med, they don't want it to be an accurate representation of best-worst players. I have mentioned removing combombs many times - rules's idea is that even when a game is totally over, the losing team should still have a chance to win... - make of that what you will but to me its totally retarded.
You made a few errors about combombs, the rules are 1. You can't share. 2. You can't combomb before 15 mins. However you get a lot of, bomb for 15 mins then combomb tactcis and alike. I even saw 1 guy atlas his allies cons to his own isle, while he bombed - so it was asif he had shared - the ranker was totally fine with this.
With the quitting thing you are 100% right, and I think most actually agree with this, infact I can't see a single reason why this rule exists.
Anyway, this ladder ends up as some final ranking of skill/abuse - you can tell people who abuse quite easily from their inflated win %s

Oh, i didn't even know there was rules in team games.
Anyway it doesn't matter. On gow 2, a guy who lands on the penis isle will ruin the game if he combombs the best player of the other team, even without sharing his units.
They better fix the rules or completely stop ranking the games tbh. Cause right now, it's a bit like playing football in a storm. Everyone is nervous and it's not so fun...

Everybody should beg the Forged Alliance Forever guys to support Total Annihilation. Their client kicks ass. Of course that would only give people who are dicks more potential to see who pros actually are. Whatever.
