AMAZING NEW IDEA!!!

interesting idea, blaze. theres just the problem of being unavailable for that day =(

and i agree completely that synth should focus on the next version of FFR and R2, as well as fine tuning FFR before he considers doing something like this. However, this could also open a new venue of FFR fun, as well as give more people more of a reason to play FFR over Stepmania.

just think though. if the # 1 person wants to stay ther and not take a chance at losing his precious #1 spot then he just wont accept the challenge. same for anyone who doesn't want to go the other way... which pretty much applys to i think everyone.

but dont you think that there are probably easy way to get around stuff like that ? such as when u reach a high enough rank, u have to accept 1 out of 2 challenges or something.. i believe this is a great idea and there is a way around every single little flaw in the idea. you just have to think creatively!

[Mychilli]

sounds like a good idea.

also remember that, atleast in my ideas, this is a point based system, so if i the lazy person at #1 decided not to accept any challenges or remain inactive with an obsenely high number of points higher than everyone else, after like 2 weeks he could be put on an "inactive" list and taken out of the rankings. If he starts playing again, he'll be reintegrated into the rankings at his current point value.

i can see a few advantages with this. For one, the champion or whoever doesn't hafta worry too much about going on a vacation, since when they come back all they hafta do is catch up by winning. Also it takes care of inactives and prevents them from holding a certain rank too long before they are taken out of the rankings. Note that by "inactive" i don't mean not playing FFR, but rather accepting or making a ranked challenge.

Of course, the obvious downside would be that it would be difficult for new people to get a foothold in the rankings and nearly impossible to catch up to the #1 person if you start like a year after this begins. This can possibly be remedied by increasing the curve for ponts gained by challenging people of a higher rank than you if deamed necessary, but not so much that a new person can quickly gain the ranks. If a FFR prodigy comes along it should be hard, but not impossible, to catch up with some of the FFRers who were regulars since day 1.

anyone else got anything to add to this idea ?

[littledevil2128]

nice idea

[dancer]

It is an ok idea but i like to play my friend at this game all the time and i am a master compaired to him and he would never get to play me if this is a reality. BUT if u could changellege everyone u want and if u changlelege the person ahead of u to move up ranks or u could make it skilled base like have an accuracy based system of ranking

[dunnski007]

any more additions to this idea? i want synth to post on this

[dancer]

err what no opoion on what i typed

[dunnski007]

you have a good thought. it would make for a consistent ranking system.. and would leave the good players with the good players.. and the bad with the bad. and it would leave for improvement and give the challenge mode lots of action. it could also include buttons to challenge the person +1 or more ahead of you so you dont haave to go searching.

[dunnski007]

pls give some more input people. i think this should be done and could easily suffice for a ranking sytem

[runnerz453]

I think that if the producer of FFR needed more money for server hosting costs he should just put in more banner adds. It would give money and banners aren't THAT annoying although it still is advertising...

[Dark_Mind]

Banners suck.
