New Ranking System

[MeDeFe]

The graphics are good, but just changing the points and games needed to get a certain rank won't make people stop bitching about:

professional team players trying to lure inexperienced players into their games to get their points
professional freestyle players checking their games every 5 seconds to make sure they gain the bonus from 3 continents they wouldn't be able to hold if anyone ever managed to take a turn before they do
players who play only escalating on a single map they know in and out and you don't have a snowballs chance in hell to win against
players who play only no cards on a single map they know in and out and you have only a snowballs chance in hell to win against

and so on.

crybaby

not at all pt, but people have been complaining about all that and more for quite some time and they will continue to do so. The only way to make them stop is probably to put the high scores list to the archives and start over with a completely new system. Of course people would complain about that, too.

I have played about 8 maps ,,,,every card and troop movement variation ,,, and sequential,freestyle, standard and teams, Im sure certain players are very skilled at certain combinations and im also certain its possible to beat anyone on any map with any variation with good stratedgy and a decent starting position and dice

the % thing is just silly though. if it was split into singles/doubles/triples then it might have some worth. 25% 6 player singles victories is the equivalent to about 75% doubles victories, its not a stat you can use to feed the ego in any way really. unless youre maniacmath and have 33% from just playing singles games. i guess you can use it then..

Wow... 33% is really good playing singles, way to go maniac.


do i get credit for not tooting my own horn??? ah, come on... do you have any idea how hard that was for me....[/size]

Great job robinette!

=D>

oh go on... stop... oh.. you're embarrasing me... phshaww... oh no, not a standing ovation... no ... stop, please.......
oh what's the use... okay okay... I'll take a bow... now no more applause, please... please... (sigh)
okay... I really need to go now... please sit down everybody..... oh good grief... okay really, that's enough... please (sigh)



thanks for noticing maniac... hope you realize i'm just kidding
