"Ladder"

[BrianBSHS]

I think we should create a ladder.Basically, what a ladder is, is a
leaderboard that gets reset every so often. This way we don't have to
worry about people cheating to get a high rank, because in x amount of
time, it will have reset everyone's score.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The way it would work is when you click on the leaderboard,
you would see another menu that says:
Ladder
Non-Ladder
The game rooms will be the same because we don't have enough players
currently, unfortunately, to go splitting them up. When you make a game
you will have a check box that says:
[] ladder
If checked, the game with appear on the game-list to alert other players
that it is a ladder game.

THAT OR:

We could have the two leaderboards and only the ladder one will reset
every, say, 3 months. Each game played is going to log points into the
leaderboard and the ladderboard. This way, people will not have to worry
about someone "cheating" their way up to the top of the board. They can
only worry and concentrate on the Ladderboard.

That's a great idea! Some people who have lots if games when they get good don't earn a lot of points when winning, that would solve that problem, but I do believe their still should be a normal leader-board, Brian maybe u could change clan requirements to if u win a ladder u r eligible to tryout.

I'm sorry
So it still goes by points?
Maybe be by how many kills in a game. :-/
or kills over all. :-/

yea it would be cool. We use to call people on top 25 the top players. But we can't say that any more. That's sad

[BrianBSHS]

the only problem I see with the kills is that some people might join a game with their friend and have them constantly build units and sent them into a slaughter, this would no doubt raise the kills.

So basically what we're trying to do is have a permanent and official leaderboard and the ladderboard will pretty much be like "flavor of the month" of "player of the month" am I correct? It should be reset every month though and there should be a list of Number 1 player of the month only for that. There are different formula/calculations to figure out the number 1 player of the month is. Just because the player is in first place at the end of the month doesn't make him the best player of the month. It's based on point system too like how long did you hold that spot for and what other spots you held before being number one. The longer you stay on top or close to it the more you get a chance of being the best player of the month. And don't forget about the clan leaderboard, which I guess is another topic but also related to this one. What do you guys think of my idea?

[galm]

I think they r accurate but I do t rxpect them to come true, I love these ideas and the fame but I am confused becuase scott won't speak to me.

[wonderer]

Maybe each bye the number of wins not points not not kills in the game. But kills after the game ended and yes they could cheat but the anons won't count as a kill

so free4all I kill ihatepies but Ihatepies kills Val and Val kills an anon.

I get a point and ihatepies gets a point a Val gets no points.

It will only work if the computer can understand who killed who I think it does that already. If people do cheat we can find out how they are and . The next month is a new month

Thats a great idea!!! im saying yes!!!

[valicious]

So yeah, is this idea going to be put in motion? I really think this is going to be a hit. People will be checking out two leaderboards more often to see how they're doing against other players. The main leaderboard's top players may not get in the top 25 of the monthly leaderboard and the more casual players get a chance of getting there since they play more often. I think those players, and there's lots of them, will like the idea of seeing their names there. Let's do this one.

BTW: I love Brian and I think he's the coolest person in the world, and all of his ideas are amazing. My name is Val, and I approve this message.

Well it looks like after about three weeks the idea is finally being accepted. Now all we have to do is figure out when it will be reset. Probably every month so then you could have the "Player of the month" like an employee of the month . This won't prove much to be the player of the month, but at least it will be a good accomplishment. I think the other leaderboard should be reset on January 1 every year. That way noobs can still get a chance to be in it, whereas now the leaderboard is way high up.
