Welcome back, young man!
The Ladder is on the tail end of a reset right now, but I'll get you in once we're ready to go...As Steve said, you're gonna thrown in somewhere at the bottom...but not the very bottom. iAC reserved that low spot for himself.
iAc may not be daffy....but he is a bugger!

Some guys just prefer not to go on top from the start okay! There's a lot more pleasure to be had if you work your way up.

Re: SoC 1v1 Ladder Challenge
PLEASE READ!!!
The last game of Ladder Reset II is in Round 25...This game is for the Top 3 spots...The new Ladder is set and ready to go...So I'm calling an audible and opening up the new and improved SoC 1v1 Ladder 4.0. It's been a long two months and you guys have been patient enough while we went through the reset.
You can make challenges now, with the exception of anything in the Top 3.
DIBS is NOT open yet...I want to wait until the last game is complete first.
Your stats from Ladder 3.0 have been carried over to Ladder 4.0.
I've posted below the NEW rules...please make sure you read them to see the new changes. These will go into effect immediately. All new rules are listed in red.
The Society of Cooks Official 1v1 Ladder Rules:
[spoiler=Official rules](revised June 9, 2015)
1. The Ladder was originally generated by a player’s Conquer Club score during the initial sign-up period. Any player who signs up from now on will be placed at the bottom of the Ladder and have to work their way up.
2. Any member of the SoC may join the Ladder. Rule #1 does apply. Freemiums may join the Ladder. SoC Students will have to meet the prerequisites before being allowed to join.
3. All Ladder challenges must be posted in this topic thread AND you must send the player you are challenging a PM as well. No other challenges from other threads or PMs will be accepted.
4. All matches are best two (2) out of three (3) games.
5. All games will be on Random maps. Each player is allowed to choose the settings for his/her home map/game. The CHALLENGER must create the third map/game with the following settings: Auto, Seq, Esc, Chained, Sunny, No Trench, No Turn Limit.
6. Polymorph games are allowed. Poly games CAN NOT be 4v4 poly or trench. All other game settings are fine.
7. Freemiums may set up one game at a time.
8. You can only challenge someone who is up to and no more than five (5) rungs ahead of you. For example, you are currently ranked #14…you can only challenge #13, #12, #11, #10, or #9.
9. You can only challenge one player at a time.
10. You cannot challenge someone who is currently being challenged by another player.
11. If you challenge someone AND win, you take over their Ladder rung. The loser will lose one spot on the Ladder.
12. If you challenge someone AND lose, you will retain your Ladder rung, but you cannot re-challenge that player until after you have challenged someone else. For example, you are #9 and challenge and lose to the #6 player, you cannot challenge the #6 player until you challenge either #7 or #8.
13. “12 Hour Fog Courtesy” – The first player in a foggy game must either:
A) Wait 12 hours for the opponent to get a snapshot; or
B) Post in the game chat what their first move was.
This only applies to the first turn of each game. The second player does not need to post their first move.
14. No matches can be reported until all games are completed (best 2 out of 3 games).
15. You can challenge someone who is currently challenging someone else. For example, Tom (#10) challenges Dick (#8)…who is currently challenging Harry (#5).
16. If you challenge someone and win AND that person, who is also challenging someone, beats their opponent, you do NOT double jump. For example, Tom (#10) beats Dick (#8) who also beats Harry (#5)…Tom goes to #8, Dick goes to #5, and Harry goes to #6.
17. If the challenged player (higher rank) wins, that player will move up one spot on the Ladder as a reward. The only exception is the #2 player MUST challenge the #1 player and win to achieve the #1 spot.
18. The #2, #3, #4, #5, or #6 player may call “DIBS” to challenge the #1 player if the #1 player is currently being challenged by someone in the Top 6. If the player calling “DIBS” falls out of the Top 6, he/she also loses their “DIBS” to play the #1 player. There will only be one “DIBS” at a time.
19. If a challenge is declined or not answered/accepted within seven (7) days, it will be treated as though the challenger won the match and the challenged player will be charged with a “FORFEIT”.
20. Three FORFEITS and a player will be removed from the Ladder permanently.
21. A challenge may be delayed if both players can agree on a start time (in case of vacations, clan challenges, work obligations, real life, etc.).
22. Sitters are NOT allowed, unless pre-approved by an Admin.
23. A player may request a hiatus from the Ladder if they go on vacation or holiday by stating so on the Ladder thread.
a. This hiatus cannot last more than fourteen (14) consecutive days. The player on “Vacation” or “Hiatus” can be passed by players who successfully win their own challenges. For example, I’m #15 and I go on vacation. While I’m gone, #16 and #17 win their challenges and pass me, I then drop down accordingly.
b. This protects the vacationing player from being assessed a forfeit.
c. The vacationing player must post in the Ladder thread or send a PM to celliottii they have returned.
23. You cannot challenge a player that is currently listed on the Ladder as being either on “Vacation” or on “Hiatus”.
24. If a player is on "Hiatus", that rung can be skipped when issuing a challenge, but by only one rung. For example, Tom is on Hiatus at #10. Dick is at #13, and #12 and #11 are currently being challenged by other players. Dick can jump over Tom and challenge Harry at #9.
25. All decisions by the Admins of the Ladder are final.[/spoiler]
I've also posted the link to the Ladder on my Google drive. If you are having trouble viewing it, please let me know.
Current standings: SoC Grads 1v1 Ladder
Just like before...you need to post your challenge here and send a PM to the challenger. Also post your games as well.
Good luck!

Re: SoC 1v1 Ladder Challenge
I am trying to decide between resigning from the Ladder and rejoining so I get the bottom spot, or just wait until IAC and Philbro leapfrog over me so I can really start at the bottom. Oh what the heck maybe I will just challenge T4. T4 are you available? I will send a PM.

i accept your challenge ; will make my games fri/sat; perhaps by the time we finish you'll hit rock bottom , (lol) and nowhere to go but up ; going from the top in prior ladder to near bottom ;
I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when....
If 2 player fog game,please allow 12 hour snap courtesy, or post what I could have seen.... Thank you

Re: SoC 1v1 Ladder Challenge
I can challenge someone five places ahead of me? With only 24 players on the ladder that seems a bit excessive. Three was better.

You don't have to jump in increments of five...you can go up the Ladder individually, if you prefer...

Yes to both questions...that's why you see two columns...one is for the player you are challenging...and one that shows the player that is challenging you.
Got the challenge recorded for you...
