Divisions
May 31st, 2009, 11:30am
 
One of the options game is "registered" or "unregistered".
 
Another possible option could be implemented:
 
"Division" or "not Division".
 
Division would make divisions for areas of ranking. If you mark a "Division" in their game options, could only play players who were ranked in this division (of the player who makes the challenge, for example).
 
Another option is that each player makes a challenge to select the range of rankings that can play.
 
 
One could also introduce a group classification (division), as there is in all sports. So that within each group of players rise and fall according to their ranking.
 
For example:
 
Honor Division
1st division
2nd division
etc.
 
Could only play one another players who were in the same division.
 
If somebody really wants to play with players from lower division, could also do so.
 
This could enhance the competitiveness and interest.

I like it.  I rarely play lower ranked players so I was always suggested a ranking range for a created game.  For instance I would create with Range Attack and players in top 50 only.  We could also have players 150 and lower for Editor.

I don't think it would be a bad thing to have divisions & keep track of things that way.  And we could do some stuff on the website to support it.  Or someone could decide to run a tournament in a format like that - I think we did that once, didn't we?
 
But I do think it maybe gets too restrictive if we have a lot of games open that are highly restrictive about who can join.  The overall point is to get more people playing, not to make it harder to get games going.  If there are a bunch of games open, but when you go to highlight each one & join it tells you you can't for some reason, gets annoying & frustrating, right?

Yes, I've thought about that too. So was the possibility that can be selected or not. Also that a player can play in lower divisions if he want.
 
The divisions can be made so that large group of players are to minimize this (commentary).
 
However, if you put a challenge with "division" and no one plays, you can always remove the restriction (as with "registered").
 
The other side of the coin (frustrating) is that sometimes one wants to play games with top players and bind to the game players who play "game crazy." I personally do not give me anything these games. Moreover, if a low ranking player loses, his ranking remained the same. However, a player with a high ranking loss, of this type (dull game crazy), involves many negative points.
 
     
Sometimes, the improvements have to try to see if they work. If do not work, nothing happens, turns back.
 
But, if we are missing something by not trying?  Wink

I agree it would be nice to be able to have an option to limit who can join your games.  Example: + or - 20 rankings, + or - 40 rankings.  Or #'s 1-50, or 1 - 100.  I think players take more offense when you exit the game after they join.  I just had a guy hurl insults at me for exiting.  Who do I think I am and so on.  Ive had others that continually join my game, 6 or 7 times.  I know it sucks for someone not to want to play with you, its happened to me.  Dont take it personal.
