U-BUILD-IT CONTEST.

[porkenbeans]

If you were to build your own RISK site, What would it look like in the way of scoring and ranking etc. ? Think outside of the box. This thread is not for target practice, so, only your constructive idea. After we have enough entries, I will start a seperate thread for a poll. The winner will receive a browny button and maybe the attintion of the LACK-man.

Come on now, I see the same group of people that only tear down the ideas of others. You all spouse to be such experts. But do you have any real creativity of your own? Come on lets have some fun. Special merit badges for the most unique or down-right off the wall ideas.

I DO. Hehehe. Hey I remember seeing a post or two by you.

[porkenbeans]

O.K. I will post one. How about this KURAAAAAAZY idea? Everyone joining, starts at 0. If you win your first game, your score goes up 1 point. But goes down 1 point if you loose. So a person with a score of +10, would have won 10 games more than they have lost. Non Officers would be those in negitive territory, (below 0). I would make score adjustments on a weekly basis rather than instant. So, every week you would be fighting to get a promotion and not get a demotion. Now comes a pretty crazy part, But, it sure fixes the multi prob. once and for all. And also, it will allow a good risk player, first joining, to be able to climb fairly rapidly to challenge those of his own skill level. You can ONLY play those of the same rank as yourself. Except for private games, that are buy the way, not scored. A monthly tourny for the top 50 or so players on the leaderboard. The winners names are added to the Great WALL, which is the sites home page. Once a year, There will be the much antisipated Final Battle between the 12, monthly winners. If a player has more than one mention in the Hall, he gets to play them as well. THE WINNER IS CROWNED CONQUER, and will carry the crown until the next Final Battle turny. Where he will receive a free seat. Try to ''multi'' that. LOL. Something else that would be really great. How about cash prizes. It could prob. be swung if Membership fees were $1.00 per week, or, $40.00 annualy ... Oh, and freemiums could only play in private games. They will always be zeros untill they upgrade to premium. Oh, almost forgot. Multi-player games shall be scored as fallows, An 8 player sngls. game, for example would be scored +7 to the winner, and -1 to the losers. So, each week the top 25% from each rank, will receive a promotion, and the bottom 25% from each rank will be demoted in rank. So, each week, you will go up 1 rank or go down 1 rank or stay the same. also everyone starts out each week at a 0 in their prospective rank. those in the neg. at the end of the week could be the ones that get demoted. If you stay a zero, you also stay the same rank for the next cycle. No promotion or demotion. This will be good for casual gamers that choose not to play any games for a time.

Here is the problem. What happens if someone decides to point dump and someone else joins 30 or so speed games? They just get 30 free points in your scoring system?

Thanks lanc. I was hoping for only ideas at this point, but, I will however, answer your very good question. By only being able to play those within your own rank, A multi would have to work his 2nd. acc. all the way up to the same level as his 1st. He then could go ahead and point dump, but, his efforts will only allow him to make his promotion for that week. his 2nd acc. will undoubtly get demoted. He would then have to spend the next 2 weeks trying to advance his 2nd acc. to the same level as his 1st. This sort of activity will stand out like a sore thumb. Hunters will see them from a mile away. As a person climbs the ladder each week,he will be playing better and better opponents. soon he will naturaly find himself among players of the same skill level. If he got there by point dumping, well, he wont be there very long as he will be playing out-classed by his opponents, and most assuredly be demoted the next cycle. he would then have to create a 3rd. acc. to dump to his 2nd. acc. and a 4th.to dump to his 3rd., and so on... I also made a couple of edits to my idea, check it out. I know that my entry is good, but sure would like to see some compitition, as my main objective is to come up with ideas, NOT reasons why something wont work. that will come later with the poll. ya know its kinda funny that we have so many that are terrific at tearing down ideas, but are apparrently incapible of anything constructive. Here is your chance ''knuckle-heads''. Once and for all , PUT UP OR SHUT UP. ...

so if we make a new kind of conquerclub, we get a badge? and that's it? really, i just want to make a map. that's what lots of people want to do, instead of make a new CC just so they can have what they want, just make a map and they will get a badge and feel good about contributing to the community. if you want to make your own conquerclub, porkenbeans, go ahead. make sure its not the same thing as conquerclub, though. no ones stopping you. by the way, how can i make my own map??

This is just for fun. Hahaha. The badges are metaphoricle. Hahaha. those that created CC did a wonderful job. But, like any system, will have those that learn how to work around it. Just as the Treasury, for example must constantly come up with new ways to counter forgers, CC must stop talking about it, and do something to upgrade its system. This contest is an attempt to help the admin. with ideas. If you do not have any, thats ok. I would direct you to visit the cart. forum. also, you may want to join the layer battle group.
