Highscore rank

I've been on CC since 2021, so im still new but not that new too.

One of the big problems, if not the biggest, i found that many players don't wanna join games for the sole reason of losing points that will affect their rank.

So by all means it's a negative feature. I think a lot of players would be more happy if the rank symbol just presents the high score.

So a player who got to field marshal stays field marshal, a player who got to major rank stays a major.

I mean in the army -if you get promoted -you stay on that rank until retirement or new promotion. Only very severe infractiopns will get you degraded (that could be a punishment too for cheaters).

You can even add a few ranks if wanted to have even more difference.

Icon (Free and Premium) Description Minimum Experience Minimum Score

New Recruit N/A N/A
Cook 5 finished games 1
Cadet 5 finished games 800
Private 5 finished games 900
Private 1st Class 5 finished games 1000
Corporal 10 finished games 1100
Corporal 1st Class 10 finished games 1200
Sergeant 20 finished games 1300
Sergeant 1st Class 20 finished games 1400
Master Sergeant 30 finished games 1500
Second Lieutenant 40 finished games 1600
Lieutenant 50 finished games 1700
Captain 60 finished games 1800
Major 70 finished games 2000
Lieutenant Colonel 80 finished games 2200
Colonel 100 finished games 2500
Brigadier 150 finished games 3000
Lieutenant General 200 finished games 3300
General 200 finished games 3500
Field Marshal 250 finished games 4500


This way loys of players would play more games and with declining numbers that is the first issue that needs to be handled..

Ofc conqueror is the only rank not affected by this. There can be only one..
Also it would not be much work to impliment, as to some other suggestions i've read over the years. I believe any good suggestion should be easy to get done by site develloppers.

unfortunately they can't even get that part right. the high score is not accurate. for example it says my high score is 2667 when I have in fact been over 3000, so best to just let this one die.

I also see your logic about it being a negative feature, but you must also consider the positive aspects to it.

That (highscore affected) was due to site changes. I can imagine it is still a big deal. I remember bogangod who"s highscore rank was affected this way. Any player who can proof former high score should be able to do so. I'd work for free to keep this site running. You can't find maps like this anywhere else“. Its Just big fun and you play peeps minds here, no AI. That is golden

And WHAT positive affects if it keeps peeps from playing more? Josko was a cook once on purpose so that shows there are no real positive affects because some fanatics will suicide on high ranks if they get the chance just to see them drop in rank. Knowing it won't affect anything as it stays that way it will solve that issue aswell.

Yes having Ranks has positive effects on the site as well. I will not go into the myriad reasons why, but I believe the positive reasons to have Rank on the site far outweigh any negatives as you state. I do see your point, but I think you are missing the forest for the trees.

Rank allows us to quickly identify the player we are up against. It allows us to do fun things like reset our Rank like josko did and then rebuild it. It allows us to use gamification to create incentive to play and strive to get better. I think this is common practice on most game sites, especially board games. I do not mean to undermine your suggestion in any way, these are only my thoughts.
