Score Reset for everybody (at the end of each era)

* Suggestion Idea: to give a score reset to everybody
* Specifics: other games have the concept of eras or ages that last 3,6 months or even a year. at the end of the stage a winner is declared trophies are handed and then everybody gets a reset and the fun starts again
so let's say 6 months long ages would be fit for CC because if you're good in 6 months you'll surely be again up to 3000+ points. it really doesn't take that long to get there.
* Why it is needed:
1. for fun. actually many people reach a stage where they plateau. and they simply can't go any higher so they get bored and leave. it's kinda boring to stay forever at 1600 points or at 2400. also this way nobody will complain high ranks don't play low ranks and anybody will have a shot at taking on blitz or comicboy.
2. for "economical reasons". this will completely remove the inflation problem of CC. because at the way things are going we'll have people with 10000 points in 2-3 years and to be honest if a new player joins and sees the leader at 1000 he'll know he will never reach him.
3. money reasons.
a) in the current system a non-premium member can reach conqueror, theoretically, but it will take a long long time because of the 4 games limit. in the new system if you want to be at the top in 6 months you'll have to play many games and to do that you have to get premium.
b) age based games with point resets have a better comeback rate for those that give up at a certain point. let's say i have 1200 points and leave for a year when the leader has 3500 points. when i come back i don't want to see the leader at 5000 because of inflation so i'd be more happier with resets because this way i'll get a fresh clean start.
4. more fun. with this setting prizes can be given at the end of each era, prizes like t-shirts mugs caps or just premium, also there could be several categories like best singles best doubs/trips, most offensive player, etc.
5. update. choice of strategy. at the moment some people have a high rank because they are specialized on triples or doubles or because they play the same map with the same settings over and over again. they are good at what they do but they are too afraid to try something else because they would lose their points. with this era system a very good triples player can try playing singles escalating on the next era just to see if he can do it or just for fun or just because he was bored with triples.
take skyt for example he has just 48 6p standard games played out of 1325 games. and most of those games are from a long time ago. this would be a perfect way for him to try his hand at those games without the fear of losing his highscore since that will stay in the hall of fame forever.
