Rankings / Ladder in game

[Alex486]

How about Institute a ladder or ranking system. Maybe as simple as total wins - loss to determine current rank out of total players for games that person vs person type games?

I think this is a great idea! But it should probably be reset at the start of every month (otherwise it will be almost impossible for new players to rank)

But it will be very hard to get points because most games take ages to finish so why not make it every 2 months instead of 1?

We could so something like win a game and get 5 points, lose a game, drop 3 points, don't play for a day, lose a point. Ladder would be 1 v 1 games only.

To stop inflation of made up games to move up the ladder, win points are rewarded if the difference between opponents is within 200 points, else for every 50 points beyond the spread, the win reward decreases by 1 point. If you beat someone with more than 200 points spread, they get rewarded extra points.

Ah! I didn't think of that. Two is definitely better!
