Hello, ICG-ThEcLoWn here. We launched our site at the end of March 2009 with a clear idea of what we wanted to have: bringing GR back to the ladder competitions, get old school clans back and new clans along the way, build a team of elite experienced admins from the IGS days, and offer a cheat-free environment. So we first started inviting some friend clans to help us at start. Things started to grow up fast and now almost 3 months after we are reaching 300 player accounts and 500 matches. We are waiting for our first cycle to end to put the anticheat as mandatory but what is currently making our Ladder unique is:
1) On-site chat for finding matches. (no need for extra-login)
2) A professional and active staff of dedicated admins with at least 5-6+ years of GR experience.
3) A great map pack containing the bests maps out there. We got maps comming from every major mod made so far, maps from other games, with modified spawns adapted to our gameplay. All maps from GR, DS and IT have been converted to TRR spawns and added to the map pack as well.
4) Up-to-date (2009) rules about glitches, superpeeks, warping and every old/new move that's considered a bug in the game.
5) A working ACP (Anti Cheat Program, that is being used already for matching) available in Downloads section. This ACP, besides the anticheat blocking functions, has some extra features:
a) Replays, Mission Stats, Chat Logs (lobby, waiting screen, in-game) and random
screenshots are being taken and saved to the ICG site open for public (this saves for
taking SS's, reporting battles, the hassle of asking for replays, the need to use reconlog,
more control over the ladder, etc.).
b) Since you have to log-in with yar ICG account to use the program, IP, Time/DATE,
Hardware ID, account details and login attempts are being saved to the ICG site
preventing the problems of masking and bypassing the program.
6) 24/7 Help Desk at our Ventrilo comms.
7) There is no owners @ ICG - So everyone has a say in what happens with the league. We also encourage each clan to have a Admin with the limit of 2 Admins per team.
8) Professional IT and system manager, that also takes care of all the developing software for us including the anticheat.
If you have any questions, suggestions, comments, etc., feel free to leave a message on ICG Chat or Forums, ICG Ventrilo comms, or go directly to the admin contact list and talk to any of our Admins, myself included. (hoodtheclown = X-Fire)
Thanks, GL & HF Wink
