Good and Bad Scenarios

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Can I clarify here, is H2H an option to be used if designers want their scenarios 'endorsed' or do all scenario designers have to have H2H playtest the scenario before it can be uploaded to the database?
Following recent developements, I'm a bit bewildered!

H2H = Head to Head = Human to Human, ie, PBEM, one "head" playing against another "head". :smoke:

Scenarios going through the H2H process are not meant for play versus the AI. Endorsed/approved H2H scenarios have been found to be balanced and fun when played versus a human opponent, mostly by players who take the testing seriously and not rubber stamping their friends scenarios.

I did not say that scenarios that are historical cannot be balanced. But, that often, they are made less fun to reach a score balance versus a human.

The Ladder is meant as competitive play versus other human opponents. I don't think it was ever intended for testing scenarios that others cannot play. Nor, should it be used to report games versus the AI.

I'm trying to answer both your concerns and that of GordonsHQ.

PBEM is not play versus the AI, nor should PBEM be for unbalanced historical scenarios?

I, personally, cannot understand the confusion? Maybe I have it wrong, but it was always thought to be that way. :dunno:
Until you and GordonsHQ brought it up.
Members have always been able to upload their scenarios (good or bad) into the dBASE for others to play.
Even if tested outside the H2H system and found to be balanced, they do not have the privilege to display them as H2H "approved" unless they have gone through the testing process.
