We are putting the winning submisions on the home page? I did not know that. I thought we just got a mention on the winners sticky.

Cool. I never enter through the home page so I never thought to look. That is great to have it posted on the front page of such a busy site. Kick ass:)

also, i think thats a cool idea sintax, having how many battles they’ve won below their avatar on the left side of their posts.

i dont think its such a good idea as it seems like bragging to me, i mean battles are supposed to be for fun only and imagine the people who have won posting…everytime it says 5 battles won, or 9 battles won, not everyone battles so its kinda wierd.  
maybe at top of battle forum there could be the winners and at the end of like say 3 months , person with most wins gets something? :o

i mean something small like a star or something under your picture near your name, changing color according to how many battles you’ve won and/or participated in.

I do like the idea of a battle ranking system. It might help later on so n00bs aren’t getting crushed by stronger fighters all of the time. Even a page like the members page with a ranking board or something. Your name wouldn’t be added until you do a battle so ppl who don’t battle won’t have a big 0 sitting by there name all of the time.

Well I see it that battling is just for fun, no prizes, no rewards, just the fun of competition. So I don’t see a ranking system as making anything better :-\

If a newbie thinks that his/her skill is good enough to challenge someone in a battle, then that is what is going to happen, no matter what the skill level of the person they are challenging :evil:

Hey, could we move this topic to a new thread with an appropiate title? I haven’t checked this thread cuz i was sick of makc. Others might be interested in discussing a ranking system, but prolly won’t be reading this mutated thread.

Hojo, he meant starting a thread about the topic on Battle ratings and such that was just going on, not moving this thread 🙂

I wouldn’t mind if someone created that thread, but I won’t create it because I don’t think there should be a rating system so it would be kind of silly for me to start a new thread saying that and when people who don’t know what I am talking about read it think I am crazy…lol.
