I have been a member of this ladder for the better part of... a few years now. I continue to make my way up the ladder over the course by challenging up. In all my time I cannot seem to remember even once that a non-KG member of lower rank with the exception of Neutral Party, having directly challenged me.
Is this a common experience?
Why the quiet from "down below"?
What of the etiquette of challenging "down"? I have played ladders where it was considered bad form to challenge down as it might give the appearance of padding your rating. Getting slapped around by Gaz and Tripps is fun and all but variety is the spice of life, no?
It seems with the new ladder that if a person say in your place loses to someone say in my place, you could lose up to 200 points. i have played a few on top of the ladder and it seems that when they start to lose that they whine a little to much. Then again there are some that are on in the top 15 or so that are fun to have games with. Of course when your in my position I have no where to go but up. :laugh: Now if you wish I would have you a game , I have played KG Panther and he was a very polite and professional player. So one could say that I have not run into a bad KG player yet. If you want to set something up in CMAK and random it if you wish, and teach me a few things. :smoke:

Well I usually don't think to send out a challenge to anyone person when looking for a game. I usually just place an open challenge in the game seeking subforum and go from there. How would you respond if someone of my lowly stature on the ladder sent you a challenge?

Frankly, I welcome almost all challengers, provided I have the time to do the games faithfully. Right now I have room for 2 medium sized 2-3k or one large battle. I have tried to battle opponents on the Sub forum but have 2 out of 3 drop out on me.
My standing parameters for all games that I play:
1. QBs, your pick, all the way.
2. Make sure its fun and fair.
3. No CMBO.

Well in that case how about a game? I'll do my best to give you a challenge. How about one of those 2-3k QB's? I'll send you a file in a just a bit hoping you are still agreeable.

hey, boss, I challenged you at least twice, well, when I was way below you, buddy... but you were not available at those times I guess :p

Sorry - cannot help you there. :)
...I tend to play Tourneys / Campaigns so end up playing everyone from "Top of their game Masters" to newbies...

This wasn't really meant to be a challenge thread but I certainly welcome the games. @ ER - I guess I missed your requests. For now, my dance card is full.
