I think M57 once proposed that a CP be created for each category such that their could be regular game play CP/GR, Tourney CP/GR, Team CP/GR and then Team Tourney CP/GR.  He then had a nice weighting system to combine each two into an overall regular/tourney/team/team-tourney scores.  Whichever way CP was decided to change it could be applied to each CP category.  This would also assist with, as Itsnot had previously said, pushing the tourney score away from being a "specialist" score.  By creating a weighted CP/GR tourney score you could no longer own it by just playing antastic.  Same for team tournament leaders mostly having got there by playing CC team-tournament games.  CP/GR combinations would create more game diversity at all levels.  This would also be a great step towards the eventual creation of an overall aggregate down the road.  I have not been following all these CP threads that closely of late, but, was the CP/GR for each ever proposed as an option?

I'd like to try option I that counts regular public and tournament games together and an option I that counts regular team and tournament games together.  

Now that is a super interesting idea. =)

special option I for Wargear Warfare, War and Global Warfare combined since those Warfare is very popular boards to play and the others are the closest cousins.

Not sure about this part because I don't think any board should be in a special category, not too mention Colassol is actually the most played...

Update on this - it's nearly ready to go. I should have something ready for this weekend at the latest - initially this will be in preview form only rather than actually updating how the rankings work for Live play. 

Here's a preview of the new ranking system as it will appear: http://www.wargear.net/rankings/show4ranks It's implemented using the following:

RECRUIT------------- Initial Join
PRIVATE------------- 1 game completed
PRIVATE FIRST CLASS--- 1 game win
CORPORAL----------------10
SERGEANT---------------- 20
STAFF SERGEANT-------- 30 
MASTER SERGEANT------ 40
2nd LIEUTENANT--------- 50
1st LIEUTENANT---------- 60
CAPTAIN------------------ 70
MAJOR--------------------- 80
COLONEL------------------ 90
BRIGADIER  GENERAL---- 95
MAJOR GENERAL---------- 97
LIEUTENANT GENERAL---- 99
GENERAL-------------------Leader in each Category
5 STAR GENERAL---------- Leader in more than one Category (it's possible to have zero, one or two 5-Star Generals.

To move forward I'll need to get graphics for the new ranks. Anyway let me know what you all think.

Love it.  This is exciting!

Yeah ..I don't have a life.

Wow. That really puts my play here into perspective!  I love it. 

Each of the ranks (corporal through lieutenant general) are based on your ranking percentile? I.e.: a player in the 95th to 97th percentile will be a Brigadier General?

Tom, Will there be a way to see what percentile we sit in in each category?  For instance:

X points (#Rank) (#Percentile)

Ranking page looks good.  Any time frame on when we can see the CP options illustrated?

Well, the preview for the new ranking system has me going up to a Lieutenant General from a Major, so I can't complain.

It is nice to see where my strengths and weaknesses lie more easily. My weakest score by far is championship points, and my strongest score is team tournament.

It appears to still be a little buggy. The ranking does not seem to correspond exactly to the number listed next to it. If I sort by any of the columns, it makes the numbers go in order, but the rankings are mixed together a little. For example if you sort by championship points you get:

Lieutenant General

General

Lieutenant General

Lieutenant General

Major General

Lieutenant General

It would also be nice to be able to sort by the overall column.

And the closest to getting 5-star general are:

berickf

Toto

bmasera

BlackDog

Where do you see this preview?

+1

Seems pretty positive so far - Next step is to get new medals for the extra ranks that have been added. I'm in touch with Raptor to help with this.

Can we now proceed with this permanently now. Berickf clearly should be a 5 Star General as well as the Mad Bomber. 

It's pretty much ready to go but I need the new medals designing... unfortunately the original medal designer isn't available. Does anyone fancy helping out?

I'd be happy to give it a shot, but I'm going on vacation next week, so it might take me a while to come up with something.  And I've never done something like that before, so I might suck.

So, this thread was originally  a follow up to another lengthy thread about consensus on changing the CP calculation to be more equitable.  It seems to have been hijacked into addressing another perceived issue.  

Is there any movement to get back on topic?  I just noticed another person is retiring or thinking about retiring boards in a related topic, and CP calculation came up as a factor.
