A New Day on The CC Scoreboard

[King_Herpes]

You now need 2500+ points to maintain the first page. Which definitely means that competition is getting stiffer. More people are finding ways to rank up and maintain their rank. I remember when there were less then 20 majors total which was what 2500 pts used to get you before the change. Also only about 7 Colonels when 3000 pts was required. Now there is 190 something Colonels(majors before) and 40 or so Brigadiers(colonels before).

It isn't really so much as stiffer competition (there is a bit of that), but moreso the fact that there is some point inflation occuring.

I wonder why that is Optimus?...On reflection, let's not go there.

I posted this because my brother asked me to. He can not post in the forums currently. He wanted me to make this thread so I did. Now let's keep on topic and watch it with the subtleties, shall we?

When I first joined 2200 was good enough for the top 50-100 easily.You had 10 or less over 3k.Those days are long and gone.Now everyone is scoring a ton of points.

[Scott-Land]

Everyone's getting better in two days- gonna gain a spot on the scoreboard.

I remember when there was only 2 above 3000

I am not as old as dirt, but I was there when they invented the shovel

[Jeff Hardy]

when i first joined i think you needed more points to become field marshal then to become conquerer

3,000 is nothing these days

[JOHNNYROCKET24]

its true

I went from 1200 to over 3K in 5 days. Its not that hard to do.

[Prankcall]

I'd agree 3k is not what it used to be.

If 3,000 is "nothing", then why are you barely above that?

[Georgerx7di]

I remember when a loaf or bread used to cost a nickel

[MOBAJOBG]

^Wow! You're from another timezone.

Probably, the new gold standard is 4000 or 4500 pts.

only 12 active games

[FabledIntegral]

4,000 pts is the new shit.

I suppose that it is due to new recruits coming to the place, joining 4 fremium games, and losing some points that "enter" the system. After that they leave forever, but the points stay.

[codeblue1018]

Can anyone say "clickable maps" ?

[Zemljanin]

Colonels decided to dislodge majors from second page ... There are only seven now, but they're coming!

Alright, but I've beaten you twice now and you still haven't taken me.

The score difference is that I have always had a very low game count, especially compared to JR. 3000 is much harder when you play a few 6 player standards at a time.
