Plea for an annual ladder
I would like to make another request at this time for an annual ladder system that would keep the new guys interested in this game. Right now the default view of our ladder is "all time score". This default "all time score" favors the old timers who learned about this game at its first release and have been playing it every since. This is very discouraging to new players, when they calculate that they would have to play 5 years 30 games at a time to hope to get near the top.

An annual ladder default view would solve that. In addition to a Pilus Prior award for all time ladder leader, medals could be given out "Pilus prior 2008" and such, and even retro awarded back to the site's beginning. This would "reset" everything to zero each year just as football team starts 0-0 each year and add a lot of interest.

Other medals could be "Highest ELO 2008", "New Member of the Year 2008", "Longest Win Streak 2008" etc. This way no matter how bad you did in one year you could go for next years medals.

This would not subtract at all from the old timers as you could have all time medals for the same categories and could still view the alltime ladder.

I would be glad to volunteer for any extra work that would need to be done if I knew what to do. I think this would greatly increase interest in this site and new players which is what we need.
