FFR Hall of Fame - Page 3

**scottish** · 11-25-2007, 03:54 PM

@ Devonin
I definitely see what you're saying, I still think the way I'm going to do it works just as fine. For the player Hall of Fame, we're going to first do research. Looks at the achievements set by players that first come to mind via threads, archives, etc. Gather up a list of players that seem "induction worthy based on the time period", and categorize them by age. We're not going to be placing people in order of how good they are, rather by when they should be inducted. I asked everyone to look for when each player was at the prime of their game, or rather, at what point in time the player should have been inducted. Considering we're doing it like this, we are still able to induct active players at a certain time period.
With each person we induct, we'll list a small amount of information for why they were inducted, followed by whether or not they are active or not. For active players that are inducted, each time this list gets updated, we can just add more to the information next to their name (if other things are worth recognizing).
As for the other types of Hall of Fame categories, we're not going to need judges. I'll be holding polls for each category. We're hoping to have the Player HoF done by around the 7th, and the rest of the HoF categories done before 2008. I'd actually like to release the actual entire list New Years Eve; every category and the other things we'll be adding to it. This gives about 3 weeks for polls, and I'll figure out how long each will last/how many there will be after the PHoF is done.

definitely baha, dj_ridder, reach, ignite for 2002-2004, maybe arch0wl, i was like a little bit after his time. what I mean by that is the forums. I played ffr at least a year and a half before I went on the forums.

**MixMasterLar** · 11-25-2007, 06:10 PM

I dont now if you want nominations or just comments about how we feel about how your runiing it, but I say that for the 2006 era Bill_Clinton kicked alot of ass.

Other then that, I like the way this is going

The one-hander is more skilled relative to the limitations of his/her playing style, but in absolute, objective terms, both players have accomplished the same task, essentially setting them as equals. The difference is that whereas people will simply give the spread player a pat on the back, they will hail the one-hander as the greatest ever, due simply to the fact that the FMO AAA was...well...one-handed.

In any case, I think this concept has been elaborated upon already. : O

Hmm...to go along with the Hall of Fame, there should be a Hall of Shame. XD

Then again...that might be a bit too demeaning...: /

Aha, DotY was the first thing i thought of when i saw that post...

ieatyourlvllol · 11-25-2007, 11:29 PM

DotY has much more to do with forum stupidity, whereas HoS would incorporate more of the scores bs element. Not that we really need it, as I mentioned.

Who exactly eats what level, and why is it funny, pray tell

Every style is equally valid, and every score should be considered only as a score, the style has no bearing on it.

If you -prefer- one-handed style, and elect to play that way because you find it easier than other styles, why should you get some imaginary extra credit over someone who -perfers- to play a different way?

If you aren't one of the -objectively- best players on the site, you shoudln't be included in a hall of fame for the best players on the site, its just that simple.

For all you know, maybe someone out there plays FFR with chopsticks and has managed to AAA something fierce.

Equal skill!

This very well could be true.

Meteor858 · 11-26-2007, 12:59 AM

sweet... a hall of fame eh?

only 1 person FOR SURE off the top of my head... SHASH

no way he ISNT getting on this damn thing

**Tasselfoot** · 11-26-2007, 01:40 AM

i've got to agree with devonin. any real HoF only has a list of inducted members... although within that list, they can be listed as to whether they were a player, a coach, a front-office person, an owner, a broadcaster, etc etc. clearly most would be players, but a few from the other categories would be appropriate as well.

in this instance, the game. but also SIU, MeTrivia, the forums, MP chat, Vid chat... as examples of other potential ways of getting in. but i'd say the standards would be much higher, maybe where you'd consider 10-15 for players initially, maybe 2-3 tops from each of the rest... then in the future, consider 3-5 for players each time with 1-2 from the others.

basically, like a real sports HoF. which, if you need information on, I know WAY too much about. my grandfather wrote a book about sports halls of fame.

SIU and MeTrivia would be possible, but no idea about chat and forum (post count lol).
