More Available Ranks

Post by Red Army »

Rank's are fun, they give you a sense that you have not wasted half of your day playing on CC...

Why not:
--Private
Private First Class
Lance Corporal
Corporal
--Sargent
Master Sargent
2nd Liutenant
--Liutenant
Lt. Commander
Commander
--Captain
--Major
Liutenant Colonel
--Colonel
Brigadier General
Liutenant General
--General
Field Marshall

What do you think, this can't be that hard to implement...

Yeah... that's way too many to remember, unless the accompanying badges make it obvious which is above which, by grouping them by common visual theme or something. Like the 1 stripe, 2 stripe, 3 stripe thing we have now.

I kinda like the idea that your rank/badge tell us something more specific about our opponents (or that we could find out more about them on a click into their "viewing profile"). Like what percentage of games they've forfeited, total opponents defeated/loss record, whether they're a paying member, and what the average amount of time is that's gone off the timer before they begin their turn.

Here's a thought, what about green backdrops for the rank badges for people who've paid the $20? A small token of appreciation from the people doing the design work and lets opponents know that you're committed to playing CC and not likely to go permanently AFK.

I think this is definitely an interesting idea, but someone should work up all of the details...points/games needed for each rank and the badge associated with each before we ask Lack to look at it...he has plenty to do as it is....

Yeah, I know this is stupid, but I have trouble differentiating the two stripe from the three-stripe as is without looking closely. It's hard to imagine what it would get like if the distinctions were more subtle.

Ya know, I was thinking about having green vs. red backgrounds to the rank icons to depict free vs premium. I'm also open to more ranks, if the icons are grouped (e.g. 1,2,3 stripes and 1,2,3 stars). The problem is I don't have any more icons. If someone wants to design a series of high quality icons, please send me a pm.

I definitely like the different backgrounds for premium and free players...that way when you join a game, you'll know how likely people are to check the game a lot...I assume premium players check more often as they have more games to check...

Indeed, and Modern Major General after that, something to which we all aspire to be a model of.

Suggestion for new rank

Post by mathgeni »

Hi,
I was just thinking that it would be cool to create a new rank for the highest scoring player on CC. I think the new rank should be called Dictator, or something high and mighty like supreme commander. Then it would be like people trying to overthrow the dictator and if the person should become the not highest ranked player they could struggle to regain power.
-Not really significant to the function or gameplay of the site just thought it was an fun idea that could make it a little more interesting if implemented.

I agree with Highborn, that is just too many but I do think that there should be a new rank for 2500, not sure what to name it, and then field marshall for 3500, perhaps just add those two, just a suggestion. :D

more ranks are required without a doubt.

and 4000 points should be general.

there are far too many majors and colonels

I dont mind being demoted - the rank figures were lowered too early in CC conception IMO

I agree with adding a few ranks... 2500, 3000, 3500

But I think you should add something to the lower ranks also...
under 700 = latrine officer or potato peeler
