Excellent Job on implementing more ranks and they seem to be well thought out and distributed fairly.

my change of your 23 ranks on score would be this:

You like mine ranks,thanks,blitz,but people more like Mrbeen, so for now i quit work on ranks. For these its need very large support.

I created a three examples tables of how the percentage value could work. I borrowed Mr.Benn's ranks for it.

By the way, I just thougt... Maybe (just maybe) the solution could be having a triple system. So, in order to have a certain rank you need to have a minimum percentile, a minimum number of finished games, and a minimum score. I am not sure about it, but is an option to consider.

i think yu only need percentile or score, because tehy both mean the samer thing

apart from that they all look so similar it won't reli make a differance, but the 2nd on e looks best to me

I think a percentile system is a great idea.

I find arguments to support both approaches. A pure percentile system would be completely immune to inflation and deflation (in the unlikely event it ever happens). But maybe it could have some odd results resulting in high ranks with very low score. That is why I say that maybe a minimum score per rank would be good. But certainly, I don't know.

The only difference is that the second places a bit more people in the lower ranks, and the third even more than the second.

About a percentile system (either mixed with minium score or pure without minimum score) The only problem that I find is, what would happen as active number of players changes? The way that I can think to solve it is to update the rank only when a player finishes a game. Then, if he does not play for 30 days but still participates in the forums, he would be listed as the rank he had adter his last game (could be considered some sort of retired sergeant, captain, major, wathever). If he plays again, he will still have his last rank, and it will only change when he finishes another game.

I also do. That's is why I took some time to make an example of three of the many possible ways in which that system could be implemented.

i think if a player is active (in any way - just signing in is enough) in a month, they should appear on the scoreboard with a score

even if someone doesn't play games, they still deserve a rank, and a position

Postby OliverFA on Tue Oct 07, 2008 1:11 pm

I am not saying they don't deserve a rank or a position. I only say it because of the way in which the scoreboard works. It says that "Only players that have taken a turn within the past 30 days are listed." It looks like it could be a potential issue with a percentile system. Logic dictates that the percentile used for the rank would be the one in the scoreboard of active players. And that creates the issue of which rank assign to a player who has not played in the last 30 days. Which rank assign to a player that is not in the scoreboard?

That is why I suggested to update a player rank only after each game he finishes, and not continuously. Then, if a player stops taking turns during 30 days, he will keep his rank even if he is not listed in the scoreboard anymore. That player could be listed as a "Retired (rank)" of "Inactive (rank)" for example, "Retired captain" or "Inactive captain".

I think its bad because no one would obtain Field Marshall right now and this ranking system is fine.

Any suggestion in the main forum can be considered active. However the real activity is the community's input, and their opinions.

Your first list looks good, though I'd throw out "Specialist" and "Staff Sergeant" and adjust the score minimums a tad.

I still think a three requisite system (number of games played, minimum score and percentile) would be a more fair system. Then in the event that there is point inflation, the percentile requisite would prevent the board from getting crowded with too many high ranked players.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the unique ranking system which we currently employ. Why complicate matters?

Not sure about percentile - that'd be really hard to increase, but I agree with keeping game minimum requirements. I just put points for my list for the time being.

Well with new revolution, maybe its time for some add new ranks and new(more military) view of Ranks. They could look like shoulder rank insignia.
