Make games require minimum or maximum points/rank [REJECTED]

[Papaj]

I think this is a good idea for implementing it.
There should be the 3rd game type besides public and private.
That rank limited game type may be named just as rank limited.
The game is based not only on a strategy but also on a luck and there should be an option to avoid losing so many score points by high ranked players.

This is a bad idea. Rank segregation is a nono in suggestions and rightly denied. If you want to pick your ranks, play password protected games.

Perhaps adding a new sort of "ranking system" to the games (if you CC mods have enough time on your hands) will give the cooks an easier battle; thus giving them a chance to play against other cooks, and perhaps cadets if they so choose, as opposed to being slaughtered by majors who have played thousands of games, and understand maps like the back of their hands.

" www.pogo.com " allows chess players, risk players, and other gamers a chance to have a ranking system; similar to the points and ranking system on CC.
If players on pogo suggest "play rated game" they will start at, say, 1000 points: only players who have within 900 points (from losing so many games) or 1100 points (from winning x amount) will be able to play against the person with 1000.

I know. I am not yet an inventor yet, because I'm only 4 years old. But thanks for the compliments...

MERGING with similar suggestions.

Let's just make certain that we don't allow real discussion of the idea by trying to bury it in the rejected pile, because we cannot possibly allow a functionality that has widespread support to happen. One time a long time ago, lackattack decided he didn't want this, so we will simply continue to parrot that line unthinkingly, never mention it to him again, and not bother to try to get the poor unaware bastard to consider changing his mind. That is a brilliant piece of customer service right there, I'll tell you...brilliant! I can see why you guys are SUGGESTIONS MODERATORS. You must've passed the "sky is blue because lackattack said it was" test.

Stop giving the Suggs mods a hard time Woody, there's a good chap.

If you would like to spend your time trying to convince him to change his mind on this, you are welcome to, but as long as it is his position, we are going to spend our time focusing on the Suggestions which are likely to get implemented, if any. There's already like 40 things sitting in Suggested. It makes no sense to spend our time arguing for the one thing he specifically said no to.

I am so sick of playing chefs, why has CC not put the option to only allow certain ranks into a game?

[Timminz]

Ratings and rank are two separate things.

[rdsrds2120]

CC has never liked the idea of restricting who others can play, or at least that's what I've concluded from the various rejected suggestions in the Suggs forum. However, you may want to look at our Calloutssection for threads with links to games that assume a standard rank (2000, 2500, and 3000+ points, for example). If you want, post in a applicable thread and find someone with games to join. Hopefully, this will help solve your problem.

Concise description:

• Allow restrictions on rank when starting a game
• Make Pelo war classified as a difficult map

Specifics/Details:

• Implement the addition for a minimum score to be established when creating a game, this will enable high ranked players such as myself not be listed as farmers as they can choose the level of competition they desire.
  
• Add peloponnesian war to the 'difficult' maps list. I enjoy playing 5 man freestyle games on that map and all i seem to get is a bunch of new recruits joining. The Rank restriction would allow me to continue playing this map and setting without the worry of the "farming" accusation that flies around.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• Create less farming NR's thread's in the C&A forum
• Enable NR's a better first game experience... (they won't know what a conquest map is)

The rank filter suggestion has indeed been rejected numerous times due to the exclusionary atmosphere it might create for newer players. I'd like to hear some more comments about Pelo War in particular, though -- you might have a case for that map.
