New matrix for ranks online?

[Thor]

I thought you had to work to get those checks? :P

Guess I won't be able to show my kids the Blitz ladder any more. It would be hard to justify to them and the Long Haired GENERAL why I spend so much time at this game and site, if after seven years, I am still a Lt.

I can hear it now, 'your'e a major all right, a major screw up . . . .'

Again, from my perspective, considering the historical context of these battles, I think the old system came closer to approximating the ratio of experience to rank than the draconian current one. The old may have provided too quick advancement, but this one really gives no incentive for careful, deliberate application of the CS art of war.

It will encourage game play more in line with Command and Conquer or PacMan it seems to me. :smg: :boom3: :smg: :boom3: :smg:

I really don't like it and think it could hurt club morale quite a lot. I also think it could have an effect on recruitment and membership as well.

But I have no vote in the matter other than as a member. I didn't participate in the discussion, although I'm sure I was welcome to. So I live with it.

I make a motion, however, that the late Jim Puff's rank never be changed from "General." Any club that would do that is truly missing something.
