lack, do you hear all of these requests?

Except rank does not really give you that information. Besides, too many higher ranked people will just refuse to play the lower ranks, meaning it will be even harder to climb the ladder.

I disagree. WIth rank segregation, it would be easier to climb the ladder.

If you have a pool of 100 players all ranked the same, the better players will rise to top and increase in rank, thus getting to play with the next group up. This would happen with all of the groups.

This isn't just speculation. This is from years of playing Yahoo! games like Spades and that's how it works there. If they didn't have a point cap at 3500 on Yahoo, people would have a ridiculous amount of points.

I have played those other games, also for years.. and I have played CC for several years. Spades has nothing to do with CC.

The reason rank matters little here is not the scoring, its the fact that we have so many different maps. Only if you play the same maps, styles with people who play those same maps, styles consistantly AND you play enough to overshadow the natural luck factor, only then does it really matter.

To compare a team, esc spoils on classic map with a 6 player assassin, no spoils on Fuedal or a 1 vs 1 with Nuke spoils on Waterloo, etc. ... they just don't compare.

Even if you have the exact same settings, you only get a real skill difference once you have played quite a few games. 100 with the same person, sure. !00 with different people on different maps.. no way!

perfect compromise!
lowranks/newbies are protected from evil predators and the paying customers of this site still don't get what they want/have been suggesting for years.. everyone happy!

implement ASAP!

I propose that, as part of the "Start a Game" form, a range of ranks can be put in to help cadets fight cadets, and field marshals fight field marshals.


You assume rank equals skill. It doesn't unless you stick to the same types of maps, the same style. (same spoils option, same game type, etc.)

Beyond that, poorer players playing good players is a way to learn. If you only play people who are your equal or worse, how will you ever improve?

That said, I have advocated some kind of very broad limits, optional, in suggestions. So have other people. These suggestions have always been turned down. I suggest you go back and look at those threads for the reasons.

Rank restrictions are pointless precisely because rank does not reflect skill accurately.

That said, if it's something a majority of players want, it should be implemented. I mean, you can already create private games, and you can already choose who you play against, so giving people the option to create rank-restricted games probably wouldn't mean that all the games would suddenly become rank-restricted. There would still be people who would create games that are open to everyone, just like there are still public games even though you can create private ones.

Hm, maybe the rank-restriction option should be restricted to premium players, like private games are now.

You could use the callouts forum. Create a private game and only give the password to people you want to play.

Ratings Lock to Join Games?

Postby northeastern on Tue Nov 29, 2011 9:30 am

I'm not sure if this would work, could be done, or if its even been tried before for that matter. But I'm wondering if when you start a game, one of the setting options could be a minimum rating to join. :?: I think we've all had a bad experience with a new player who's just trying things out and decides its not for him or a straight troublemaker that seems to be sabotaging games, or a player- who through no fault of their own- is totally clueless. These players dont have ratings or are rated low for a reason. A piece of me tells me there is a reason why it hasnt been done already. I'm interested in your thoughts my Brothers and Sisters of the dice!

Divide players up according to ranking? And then what... Non-premium players penned into their own area of the site? Female players given 'junior' status in any team match they play and reduced influence in decision making? Work camps for Cooks who wish to remain on this site?

My apologies that this is in the wrong section. I wasnt sure if this was an actual suggestion or not. More of a weighing of pros and cons I guess.

So when I dropped to cadet after being Conqueror I wouldn't have been able to play a Field Marshal if this proposed rule would have been in effect?

I just got so confused because I can't envision you being a cadet. You are just far too talented.

It wouldn't be a tool, so I'm moving this to regular Suggestions.

Also, it most likely won't be done, as it has been rejected in the past.
