[ Feature Discussion ] Multiplayer Ladder

On point 4:How will "victory points" be counted in those scenarios which don't actually have victory points? Perhaps a point count for victory level achievement?

That should be determined by the players during the scenario selection process.

We should still have a standardized guide, lest things get too weird or seem unfair. Something like:

• 1 point for meeting draw conditions (if any)
  
• 2 points for meeting Marginal Victory conditions
  
• 3 points for meeting Major Victory conditions
  

Challenge VPs are awarded regardless of scenario victory. Example: Player A achieves minor victory conditions for 2 points, player B achieves major victory conditions for 3 points. The players start with those points for their second scenario, though player B can claim a victory on the main page. I also assume equal point maintain the status quo.
 

On point 9: Shouldn't failure to respond to a challenge simply result in forfeiture of the challenge in favor of the challenger?

That's the meaning, yes. There needs to be a mechanism to remove idle players from the ladder.

I would vote for demotion on the first offense, expulsion on a later one. Especially since you intend this to be a perpetual ladder.
