Time for Ben(SA) to step up and take a few challenges
Ben if you can't defend your title we will have to find
a new king.

KING of THE LIST
A king is declare and takes challenges until defeated (Simple)

Rules: Once you have challenged a king and you lose you can not challenge again until there is a new king. This "all or nothing" should narrow down the field and establish a fairly stable king who is deserving of the title.

This only requires coordination between two players at a time. A tenative time limit of four days from challenge there must be a match, if the current king does not respond to a challenge then he forfits to the challenger. If one of the players is a "no show" then he forfits that match. The first player with three "no shows" for a match forfits the challenge. That way you don't get too penalized for having to work late or take out the trash.



Keep in mind that if enough people are about, that several challenges could occur one right after the other.

The King of the list will be tracked here in this thread. Please show some constraint in your posting and clean up dead posts.

Uh, Killer, we weren't an official match.

But he tied me on the never ending Kingmaker server. He was in a heavy, and since they are a hell off a lot harder to kill than lights, new rule is that challengers may only fight me in light tanks. This shouldn't be a problem for the myriad of light tankers out there.

And LC, if you're reading this, I reccomend Killer77 for your heavy tank hall of fame if he isn't already there.

Ben(SA) - Who will hopefully be read to fight any challengers for KOTL in about an hour or less.

Althou i agree i have to mention that light tanks also have some advantages
such as speed. Its more difficult to kill me but its much more difficult to
shoot you :) I dont wanna be a King so I wont challenge you.
But i havent been beaten yet.

Wait, wait.. you can't just say:
Quote:He was in a heavy, and since they are a hell off a lot harder to kill than lights, new rule is that challengers may only fight me in light tanks.
Just because you find them hard to beat! That's ludicrous. There is no tank qualifications in the original rules, and they should be abided by.

If rules are that flexible, I could beat you easy if we played by my rules on my server...

Please reread the "rules", the point is for the two players to hash out the details.
If need be I can mod the King Maker server so that every tank has the same properties (Not sure about the neverending thing as it is stock right now and was working for me last I tried). I think this would be boring but will bow to popular demand.
I also see some "I,m better than you but won't challenge" comments. Why not! is it fear of losing or wining? As far as I am concerned Ben fully deserves to be considered the best TT battlemoder there is. He has beaten every one who has challenged him on a variety of maps and conditions. If you don't challenge your just blowing hot air. Ben deserves to talk trash, he has the stats to back it up!

I didnt say
"I'm better than you but won't challenge".
Ive already played one match with Ben and thats sufficient for me and for him.

MY rules :
everyone can use any (nonmodified) tank.

YOU can use your own rules, aka Him.

@killer77
I didnt say
"I'm better than you but won't challenge".

My comment was not actually aimed at you but by your response I sense a little guilt ;-]

In case you hadn't noticed this, Lag Man, heavies have a whole lot more armor than lights. And when a skilled heavy expert such as LC50 or Killer77 is driving and shooting, the process is:

Ben(SA) has been eliminated by LC50 (the light is almost always first to die.
LC50 has been eliminated by Ben(SA) (the light takes advantage of the wounds on the heavy from before.
Ben(SA) has been eliminated by LC50 (the light is of course wounded in its second attack, but still hurts the heavy)

And so on ad infinitum.

Obviously. I gather you want to fight. Meet me in the KOTl chat server online. If I'm not there look for me in other games.

Ben i dunno about your heavy v. light assessment. the speed advantage is so huge if you play it rightl; in determining where AND when battles are fought, you should be able to at least +1 on a heavy. does anyone want to play me 1 on 1 to get a fix on this? curious to see how it goes.

Ben, your're quite good and don't need to hide behind the "you must fight me in a light tank" requirement. This will only generate "he's a pretty good battlemoder... for a light tank player" comments. I bet you could take me on no problem.

If I see ya online Tally, I'd be happy to challenge you to some one on one. Killer77 is also great heavy player, and is adept at one on one; we played a game this morning and tied 7-7 in a fierce shoot-out.
