Re: The Brand New Top Players List
Doesn't the whole bonus idea bring easy/offbeat songs into play, thus defeating the whole purpose of having this system in the first place?
And for the boo rule: it's only there to prevent outright mashing scores from getting points (like lump's EHHS). Having a pure score req is file IMO, since it's impossible to mash and have halfway decent PA.
I still don't agree with the 0/1-people-have-done-it reqs, by the way. Just because you're too lazy to make more frequent updates doesn't mean you should have essentially unreachable scores (for all but one person in some cases) as reqs. Remember, the reqs are standards, not some kind of ideal goals...that's why we don't have 8 or 9 point reqs for FC Molto/Revo or 28-point reqs for AAA'ing Revo. Yes, someone may do those eventually, and when two people do, then you make an update...until then, even considering those scores as feasible is a pointless endeavor, since the list is one hundred percent relative. If no one has gotten a req, then it may as well not be there at all.
Trying to make the reqs static and unchanging is impossible and worthless. If you aren't willing to update as often as you need to make this accurate, then it's just not going to be accurate, and we may as well go back to the purely subjective ranking lists.
