AMAZING NEW IDEA!!!

[dunnski007]

i think that there should be a way to upgrade ranks. not by playing more and more.. but by challenging the person that is ahead of you. you could make a whole new game out of this. you could include ranks of all ffr players in a large chart and have challenge buttons beside their names so that you can challenge the person a couple ranks ahead of you (but not too many ppl ahead bcs then rank#1 would be very busy with challenges) but i think this could be a great way to improve the game, or you could just keep adding more songs and different options.

I choose the latter.

I think its a good idea, with some tweaking though.

Maybe synth will see this and come up with some development ideas.

[alainbryden]

It'd be cool if you could only challenge the person infront of you, that way you slowly work your way up the charts, and when all the cheaters make their way to the top we can ban them And if you win the the person infront of you and lose to the person behind you, they switch places, and so on.

[dunnski007]

i say about up to challenging 5 people in front of you.. not just one.. because that wouldnt help people progress very fast. and i like how it could eliminate cheaters too

[Omeganitros]

I wouldnt call it an amazing new idea, but its a very interesting new thought.

[dunnski007]

bump. cmon people. i think this is a great idea. whaddya think about it ?

[Upon1]

sounds good

[ultimategamer]

i think its a good idea, but needs some serious modifications, heres some possible guildlines that you could build off of

-you can only challenge someone within +/-100 ranks of you until you're rank 1000
-you then can only challenge someone within +/-50 ranks of you until rank 200
-this changes to +/- 10 ranks of you until your rank 50
-Then, +/- 5 ranks until 10. afterwards its a free for all between the top 10
-Note that these are only for rank effecting matches. Casual challenges can be made by anyone to anyone
-the challenger has 1 week to respond or its the challenge is automatically declined. whether or not it counts as a loss is up to synth
-only people active within a week can be challenged, and the challenger is given the time since their last log in. this is to try and prevent people challenging inactive people
-instead of a direct switch, a ranking point system should be implemented. more points are given by winning against someone higher than you, and vice versa.
-Afterwards its a toss up between the top 10, with only the top 5 being able to challenge for #1

also, very important:
-scores made during the challenges that exceed the maximum high score (@ secret arrows or whatnot) should not count and be the person who made the score should be given the option to do the level again.

thats all...boy am i bored ^_^

[dunnski007]

wow.. thats more then i could ever have thought of.. all i want now is for synth to say something about this.. it seems like a great idea to me.. and could spark more interest in the site.. but the only thing im worried about is that this wouldnt cause synth a lot of trouble to make or anything.

[EmperorSteele]

Well, ranks and challenges are already in place. "tourney ladder style" might be a bit hard to code, but after that it'd probably be easy to impliment, so it wouldnt be TOO much trouble for synth.

But i'd rather see all that effort going into new songs and fixing old problems, rather than creating a feature that i can see would make people challenge eachother endlessly and destroy FFR's servers.

[UBERFFRMASTER]

Synth is working on to many projects at this moment

-R2 engine
-Version 6.8 of FFR
-The New songs being added daily
-Sever reparis/upgrades/maintence
-Fixing bugs/testing the new funtions

But i do admit that once Synth has free time or is done his project... it would be an interessting idea.

[sharpevil]

I am completely for this.

[_Blaze]

Hmm...FFR ladder. Not a bad idea. The only problem I can think of would be things like bandwith...I mean, you have thousands and thousands of players on FFR, and it would have to be taking in different challenges and reporting the results, changing database, etc., etc. Maybe it would be a cool day to leave everything for a week, and one day out of the week is like "Challenge Day"...when all the challenges take place. Just a thought, but I think it'd be cool to see the rankings jump around one day every week. See who's defending the title, hot newcomers, rivalries, etc., etc.
