Ranking changes
I'm updating our ranking system. Rankings will reset every month and only some servers will have ranking enabled on them.
Whats new from today:
- Only selected servers will be ranked. "This is a ranked server")
- Before ranked matches you'll get a message. "This is a ranked match (#rank vs #rank)"
- I've enabled ranking on the tourney1-8 servers. Admins can put ranking on any server they please.
Whats coming:
- On the 1st of August I'll clear the current rankings. Yes, all rankings will reset.
On the last of the month will be able to have special events for the best players of that month.
This is still in development so if you have any suggestions feel free to post in this thread.

Suggestion #1: Ranking tab in the forum, perhaps. ^^ with some cool statistics! (got tons of ideas)
Question #1: I know tournaments have different minbelt requirements. So, might it affect the ranks in a negative way? Let's say a green belt having rank 20 since he is beating up all the other low belts. Just a thought!
Suggestion #2: I think this is very important.
Look at the public rooms, there is a mod for judo/twinsword/jousting.
These are very fast paced mods compared to the others. They are also not as
competitive aikido.tbm/lenshu3ng/TK/rk-mma.
My suggestion would be to compile a serious list of COMPETITIVE mods and set them as RANKED. Of-course, there still should be public servers for the other mods(judo etc..), just not RANKED.

So, the people with the best rank for that month will be in some sort of event, and the winner gets a prize of some sort? Please tell me if I am missing something.
Gm's are now discussing this, and ways to make it work. Nothing about that is set in stone.
We would LIKE to be able to do something for the top tier players from that month, but working out how to do it and which servers the ranks come from.

This just invites farmers through the front door. You've basically cooked them a hot meal, sat them down and are giving them a backrub.

Ranking tab would be neato.
The mod list is something we're discussing, and one of the ideas being tossed around is just that, to compile a competitive mod list, perhaps with some fun additions sometimes.

Yeah, I only don't like erthtkv2 because of the mod's name. Make it "tkv2," and the mod will instantly become more popular. This is a valid reason as the name of the mod is still an important feature that no one seems to have yet discussed.

My point is, is that people are always going to find a way to cheat, it is inevitable. Even if they do farm, what's the point? The ranks will reset every month and like hampa said before, "If you play and win all day every day for a whole month I think you deserve to be in the high ranks that month."
My idea stands as alpha.
Nothing is 100 percent cheat proof, but this will limit cheating by a lot!
The thing is as you know..anyone can join public room. So the masterplan of these two friends wouldn't last long at all! It is much better than the current system and surely better than your suggestion.
It's going to a better direction even if not perfect, and you can't argue with that.

Yep, that sounds great. ^^

the mod thing will be taken care of.
as for the dueling thing, i don't see why there shouldn't be RANKED dueling servers.
in the end, you want to change the whole system just for your needs, sorry but it sounds silly.
