Hey
I posted this on my forum, but since this is the official forum i think I should repost here. I also made some improvements, from the suggestions of zzboots. ( Rankings lower, and adding a register button). Please feel free to post more suggestions, feedbacks and comments.

We will need to decide on the exact amount of points, if matlu chooses to keep same point system (crosses fingers ;D) Maybe make the ratings section smaller and along the bottom with a few game options similar to the old game. And Then you could have room to add the highscores section. :D
A repost of my alternative ranking system from the BBCW forums:
Lamesauce- 99pt and below
Damn Noob- 100-300
learned how to play- 301-500
Leet Wannabe- 501-999
Elitist Ass- 1000-2000
Grand Lamer- 2001-3000
Elder Asshole- 3001-5000
Master of Lameness- 5001-10,000
Uber H4xx0r- 10,000+
The Cheat- 100,000+
If this was implemented I think it would draw alot of new players in just because it's so leet.
I like the design Brian.
McCool those are some, er, unique, names

I second that. Perhaps names similar to original verison, just change point values.
Man you guys are prudes. It's not like this game is going to go up for retail or something. We can have fun with it. Well no big deal I guess.
No one will get 100k points, cheaters were only able to get up to 70k :P The old system:
Beginner 100 points and lower
Novice 110
Apprentice 120 ?
Intermediate 130 ?
Experienced 150 ?
Expert 200
Master 250
GM 300
I would suggest something like:
Beginner 100 and lower
Novice 102
Apprentice 150
Intermediate 200
Experienced 250
Expert 500
Master 750
GM 1000
just a thought
You know if people lose too much under 100, they will just create a new character. I think this will be a shame as your character will lose a bit of authenticity. Maybe make it so you can't get below 80??
You have to realise that there will not be many novice or newb players. Most of the the players here are ex high rankers (not me :P). So it will be hard for the new guys if they pick a unique name they like, and then by the time they get any good, they will be like in the 40's or something like that.
Just a thought.
I would agree with zz on this and keep the same names as before. Although many players had more then 1000. So my suggestion would have to be.
Beginner 150 and lower
Novice 200
Apprentice 250
Intermediate 300
Experienced 500
Expert 750
Master 1000
GM 2000
As for not allowing it to go below 80, if a person really liked the name, they would work to regain those points.
Haha I forgot the exact number the cheaters were getting. Was it 70,000? Maybe we could make a "Cheater" rank in reminiscince of those cheaters who spoiled the top score list.
That is a memory I would rather not remember......
Hey,
I like blitzjokers ranking, but I made it a little bit higher though
Beginner 100 and lower
Novice 400
Apprentice 800
Intermediate 1200
Experienced 1600
Expert 2000
Master 2400
GM 3000
Maybe something similar to this?

Too high, gotta give people incentive to reach next level or they might get discouraged.
zzboots does have a point. If the point value is too high some people might just give up on getting any higher and that would give no reason for the ranking system.
i dont know about point values, but the main screen and such look cool, hope you add them
I believe Grandmaster (and maybe master) should be a challenge to get, instead of the joke it was at the castle (I did have Petrey, which was 15000+ in Battle Thingz - more than 50 times the amount required for GM), though maybe not too difficult (hey, the castle disappeared when I was at about 2900). Somewhat discouraging that I would have to work for it once again (if I have the time now), but I guess it can't be helped.
ranks are lame
it only matters what your win/lose ratio is and how fat your stack of points is
people can come up with their own ranks for you
Suppose so. Sort of was a favorite of mine to log into a low-score (as in less than 200) username to play against the people who refused to play me as my hi-score (Odin666 there. Shall be simply Odin now that I got that name).
how come i wasnt included on the make-shift pictures of lobby screens?
