make 2 leaderboards

[porkenbeans]

Concise description:

• Make one for seq. and one for freestyle.

Specifics:

• The top of the leaderboard is nothing but freestylers. So, under this addition, a player will actualy have 2 diff. ranks. One rank on the freestyle leaderboard, and one rank on the seq. leaderboard.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
[list]
[*]It will allow the rest of us, the ones that do not care for freestyle to compete against each other. There will be 2 conquers as a result. One from each camp.

I dont know exactly how this can be done, but, I would sugg. that all members could simply be coppied to the new Seq. leaderboard, and all start at noob. Leaving the original alone, and re-naming it to the, Freestyle leaderboard. That is basicly what it has become anyways. They would still enjoy there spot on the freestyle Leaderboard, but, I wonder how they will fare on the seq. board ? ... This new leaderboard could also have a whole new set of rules that would finally address and fix the prob.of multies and farmers too. Like, only players of the same rank can play each other. They could still play on the old board if they want. But Im sure they will sooner or later want to compare their skill at playing RISK.

Sure, and lets make one for adjacent forts, one for unlimited forts, one for chained forts

One for FOW, one for doubles, one for triples, one for quads

On for 2 player games, 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8

One for terminator, one for assasian

One for speed, one for casual.

PorknBeans it is good that you like to contribute ideas, but think about them before you make them.
Being conquerer is defined being "top dog" as in the CONQUERER of everything, having two seperate boards would just frustrate people.

It wouldn't happen.... so get good at freestyle, or otherwise have fun at the bottom of the board.

You have to get with the times, if you arn't good enough then you won't make it. FS is the way right now...

Yes, I think that you are right. I have come to the same conclusion. just this morning, I decided to put it to the test. I joined a noob freestyle. It was a cake walk, and I dont even know much about freestyle. But is it all about farming noob freestyle from here on out. Or is there a way to play challenging games and still make it to the top

Not based on what I have read.

I think it's a good idea and I don't quite understand me-da-minority's slightly hysterical response, unless it was ironic.
I think it would work better with filters though so there is still one conqueror - I'd also like filters for flat rate, no spoils and escalating.

He is most likely a farmer. He has invested many many hours of mind numbing noob games. And he has worked his way to the top a result. He knows very well that he would not fair well on an even battlefield.

Now that this has degenerated into a finger pointing and name calling contest, it's bound to get accepted...

HEHEHE Just tellin it like it is bro. My finger is not pointed at just one person, but at the mass of No-skill, wanna-bees at the top of this so called leaderboard. Ive played several of them. Most could not even stand next to a medeocre player, let alone, a truely good ''RISK'' player. Then you see them get on these forums and talk like they are the authority on this game. Its quite pathetic really.

Are you kidding me ? You equate farming to forts. Forting comes after your turn. The default is set to ''FREESTYLE'' So noobs start a game without knowing anything about the world of hurt that is coming. You know this very well. as it IS how you got your rank. In your quest for points, You have turned a very fun and challenging game into a joke. And I will keep saying it loud and clear- THE LEADERBOARD DOES NOT REFLECT THE ''TRUE'' SKILLS OF ''RISK''. ...period. Oh, and get the hell out of MY chair.

THE LEADERBOARD DOES NOT REFLECT THE ''TRUE'' SKILLS OF ''RISK''

So? The leaderboard is the leaderboard of Conquer Club. It reflects the true skills of Conquer Club, where the rules are different from Risk.

If gaining points on the leaderboard is your primary objective here, then use the game to your advantage to do so. You can't change the rules so that you'll gain points.

That sounds strangely like you're saying farming is a good idea.
It also sounds like you think the only point in playing is to get points, do you actually even enjoy the game or is it just a means to an end for you? ie. farming.

People come here to play ''RISK'' knucklehead. They believe that the score board is set to show the best and worst in order. If ,like you say, It is not risk, but some other game that is played here, then why not state the nature of the true game that is being played in the instructions. I see from your rank that you are not a farmer. A 1,200 game corp. with quite a few medels. This is very perplexing to me. You are either a morron, or possibly someones multi ? ...

Either that or locked ...

Despite e_i_pi's foresight and helpful hint this topic continues to deteriorate into an off topic ramble of the kind he describes.
If the majority choose to continue posting off topic I'm afraid I'm going to have no choice but to lock the thread.

Even though Me-Da-MiNoRiTY's post is intended (I think) as an exaggeration to make a point it actually very closely resembles something which I proposed in the Scoring Ad Hoc group run earlier in the year. I was actually quite serious! Having said that my impression is that lack is not keen to have anything more than one global scoreboard and so two scoreboards as porkenbeans is suggesting or many more as Me-Da-MiNoRiTY and I are suggesting ( ) I think are very unlikely to come to pass ...

I could be wrong ...

I agree with Lack,but the one leaderboard should be something like this- viewtopic.php?f=4&t=70057#p1705236
