Conquer Club

Maybe this has been suggested already, but I didn't see it immediately and wasn't up to wading through 25 pages of suggestions to look for it. Anyway.. played another site once that had a player of the month competition going. Similar to the points that a player gets but it resets at the beginning of the month after a winner has been declared. The top 6 players for that month then get a game all for themselves to fight it out. As well, the next 6 players had a consolation game. I think they also had a player of the year thing going on. Not too sure on that one.

What do you guys think?

This hasn't been suggested, so good for you! But to check past suggestions read the 'Suggestions Box' at the top of the forum.

Nice idea!

If you want you can organize it, i think you would have a good responce.
You didnt say how do we determine who is the player of the month

It would be impossible hard for a 2500 point player to be a player of the month because if he can keep a score static it is a great thing, while a 700 point player can get 200 points from a single game

I think he is referring to WaW, and the basic idea is that they have a regular scoreboard, like we have here, that keeps track of your total points from the time you started. And then they have a monthly scoreboard that resets at the beginning of each month.
The 6 highest on the monthly scoreboard would then have a game to determine the winner.

I think this is what he meant, might need clarification.

if our score system didnt eat ass it would be easy..


i think we ( i should be) should have somthing like that award.......oh ya ,,,, and a new score system

Maybe something like wins/games played to determine who gets to battle it out. That way everyone has a chance.

Yes, that is exactly the site that I was referencing. So every player would have two sets of scores, one that keeps track of your overall record, and another that resets at the beginning of each month. This monthly score always starts out at 1000 (I think it was 1200 at the other site) so it also keeps track of hot and cold streaks, in a manner (e.g., John Doe maybe really awesome with an overall score of 3000, but if he's having an off month, he may have a monthly score of 700, while perhaps Jack Doe is an average player with a score of 1100, but is having a good month and has a monthly score of 1500).

As for how to set it up, I know next to nothing regarding computery stuff, I'm just a Risk player. I'm pretty sure that there are some players from that site on here that might have a better idea of how things work than I do.

Check my quote out regarding the 2500 point player, but another player accurately represented it. As for who the player of the month would be... the way WaW has it is whoever got the most points in the monthly scoreboard was the player of the month, regardless of the who won the champions game (the 6 top players of that month). A case could be made that whoever WON the champions game would be the player of the month, just have to put it out there as a vote or something.

Great suggestion.
I think the player of the month should be whoever wins the 6-man standard of the top 6 players that month.
Why?
Cos everyone plays doubles or triples games not just standards and their points increase whatever the gameplay is.
So, the player of the month should be the one who wins a standard 6 game.
Now the question is should it be freestyle,seq,unlimited,flat,esc,etc...

My suggestion is it should be a seq,unlimited,escalating.

Only problem with this is that the premium low score players will have a major advantage over the non-premium or high score players.
But hell it's just a game.

If you think about it, this system is fair for everyone. Low point or high point players, EVERYONE starts at 1000 points each month so they would be receiving the same amount of points for games. The points would be computed separately from the total points scoreboard, so it's a fair system even for new players.
This would settle some dispute about who is the better player, since so many claim that title... but the winners of the month shouldn't play just 1 game to determine the best, it should be at least 3 or 4 games to avoid the luck factor a little better.

Yeah, I agree with how the champions game should be played. It's how they do it on the other site and seems to work. And I know someone mentioned that it should be a 3 or 4 game series, but that seems a little extreme to me. Maybe save that for Player of the Year!
