Nice work!

I would still like to see something other than "cook" ... something like latrine cleaner or scrubby, but I guess folks are attached to "cook".

Also, I think we do need something up higher. The folks who care most about rank are the folks up there. The rest don't really. We are mostly here to play, have fun. Medals are nice, but rank is ... not such a big deal.

Hmmm.. you're probably right about the medals having an impact on the perception of rank, although I still think that your rank is a better indication of how good you are v the number of games you've played.

The initial suggestions were about increasing the points required/adding in higher ranks. I looked through the numbers of players at each rank yesterday, and had never properly realised how few players of 'high rank' that there really are!... If you make it to Lieutenant, that puts you in the top 10% of players!

When I looked at the distribution of scores, I came up with the addition of '50pt' score boundaries which I've incorporated into the above suggestion. While I can see how the score-margins appear insignificantly small to a 'high-ranked' played, the sheer volume of people with scores at the 'lower' levels gives some credence to having point-margins like this (look at the % of players). Also consider that many of these 'lower' ranks include titles such as Lance-xxx or xxx-1st-Class as a way of interpreting them as some kind of 'half-ranks'.

This is the most complete (and useful) suggestion of new ranks in this thread.

PS - although you missed your lieutenant colonel out of your listing.

Thanks yeti.

Are you suggesting that there should be an extra rank between Major/Colonel:
2000 Captain
2300 Major
2600 Lt Colonel
3000 Colonel
:?:

Or are you alluding to the fact that some of the ideas I mentioned earlier on the page have vanished? When I reviewed the spread of ranks, I thought I was trying to squueze too many in...

This bit!!!

I assumed you'd translated the above list into the "before after" list... (which is confusing as it's an "after before" list which doesn't read well!!!)

I didn't realise you tweaked a few in/out. - either way my comment stands about your suggested ranks.

Ranks already have less meaning after the last reset...

Points are points, they won't change with this change, just the meaning of rankings will be less significant.

Now you have -Lieutenant,Captain,Major,Colonel,brigadier,General and Fiel MArshall over 2000 players.
With these new Score counting you will get only 160 players with high ranks and you will Create hard to get General and Field Marshal rank(now you have one Field Marshal,5 generals,25 brigadier,82 colonel,over 400 major,over 500 Captain,and almost 1000 Lieutenant)and these number can be biger,but i repeat again that these is only mine opinion.

Given 22,000+ players, I think you made the point that the ranks are hard enough to reach already...

If the change is implemented, what are the completed game requirements for each rank? Like how now you need 100 games to be a colonel. Any comments?

I'm not too sure about the number of games for the highest ranks... the only person at the top of the scorebpoard who might be adversely affected would by Thai Robert, who is currently a freemium Brigadier with 159 completed games...

I like all these new ranks, except for the really low ones. Having really low ranks could encourage intentional deadbeating and throwing of games to achieve the distinction as being the "Only Conscientious Objector".

Are they gonna implement a new ranking system- or is this just another great idea shot down ?

I just noticed Blitz hit the 4000 milestone again- but yet he's still a General. Not to mention that if you have 5000 points you're still a Field Marshal. One rank after 3500- jeesh. I know this has been mentioned before- just wanted to bump it and say it again.

I thought that the feather was a banana. :?

There are plenty of different ranks for the lower scores but once you get to the higher ranks, they pretty much stay the same...

Ohh btw- Qwert, if you're suggesting an overhaul why not get rid of the crown looking hat? Maybe have an actual Colonel insignia albeit you'd have to change the Brigadier one too.

I think the Eagle is the insignia for a Colonel (US)- CC has the eagle as a Brig General which is a Star. The 'hat' is a Brig in other countries... it's all a bit backwards.

we cant tell because we beat them all hands down but im sure cooks and cadets can tell the difference between a cook with 300 points and one with 700 points

btw, i really dislike the graphics of the suggested ranks and think the current ones look great
especially major :P
