New challange ideas

[divVerent]

Another idea:

A challenges B and can choose any map.
B can either accept the map or choose any map from the pool.

That way, to play on a map which is not in the pool, both players have to agree.

your idea makes about 0% sense

this would mean that player a can chose 2 non-ladder maps and what is player b then supposed to do ? be able to decide that he doesn't like both other maps and choses other maps !?

[divVerent]

No.

Assuming nexdm01 is not in the pool and nexdmextra1 is. Then the following will happen:

A to B: I want to play against you on nexdm01.

B now has the choice to accept nexdm01 or choose any map in the pool. Which means, A must always be prepared to play on any pool map instead.

Then you have to explain more in detail, cause the way I read it, only one map can be selected

I assume you mean player a gives two alternatives, one random map and one from the pool. The challenged can then choose weither to chose the any map, or the pool one.

Hopw should it then be possible for the challenged to choose a map not in the pool as his/her map?

the way i read divVerent sugestion:

challanger proposes one or two maps, in the pool or not.

challanged eigther accepts this(e) map(s) or is limites to choosing ((a map)||(maps)) that is in the pool.

a good idea imo.

I "think" I understood it now

Player A MUST select a ladder-map, but can also additionally select a non-ladder map (for the map 1 choice) as alternative
Player B can now chose whether map 1 will be the ladder map or the custom map.

but then there are two options:
a)
depending on whether player B allowed the custom map, he is also allowed to select a custom map or not (which means that he can only select a ladder map if he disagreed to take the custom map). This would be fair, and wouldn't require a 3-way-challenge
b)
player B selects whether ladder or custom map will be taken for map 1 choice but is also able to chose ladder AND custom map himself (no matter whether he disagreed to the custom map of the challenger). If it is a ladder map, the challenge is completed (accepted), if it's a custom map the challenger has to to the same like player B, either accept the custom map or take the ladder map

No. The challenger just chooses one map, which may or may not be in the pool. The challenged can accept the choice or - which does give him some great advantage - choose ANY map from the pool.

Of course, if the challenger choosed a map in the pool, the challenged is not bound by it in any way. It does not matter at all which map the challenger chose, apart from that the challenged knows which maps the challenger wanted.

But the other interpretations of my post aren't that bad either...

Ok.. I'm with you here.. But how is the challenged supplosed to be able to pick a map not from hte pool as his map.choise, without haveing to bother player A again?
