My 2 cents on this- I think there are many issues that need working on before totally revamping the scoring system, however much I like the ideas and concepts behind it. I believe there is a need for some modernizing of the ranks and their looks, but I'm not sure that is the main issue the administration is trying to focus on right now.

However, I am 100% on board with ISN's proposal, and I'm glad to see the OP thinks it is a good median as well. IMO, it's ok if there aren't any field marshalls. It's the top rank, it should be a huge deal if someone gets it, let alone keeps it. It's an impossible goal, but that's what makes it so special.

This makes sense.

1. The administration have made many more pointless updates, so why wouldn't they be interested in doing this?

2. Why is a cadet commenting on ranking suggestions?

Let me clarify- I don't agree with totally revamping the system, as Benn and Qwert have put out there, only because it is going to take a ton of work. I agree that we need it, but there are other things that need a "Tune-Up" before we start worrying about that. I don't agree with changing any of the rank score requirements, as betiko suggested, as stated above. However, I do like ISN's proposal, because it's a quick fix (more so than a revamp), and one that doesn't detract from other achievements.

#2 is a good one. Sadly, I haven't had the time nor desire to get back into a hundred games like I used to maintain. But look who got this moving again after two weeks

I'd hardly say this suggestion is moving. It's no further than it was two months ago. It will be moving once it's submitted.

I don't want the system totally revamped either. I would go with ISN2's proposition and since the OP agreed, as well as many others, why not go forward with it?

MERGED: Field Marshal Requirements

I fully agree there should be new rank at 4000 points!

Just a blast from the past, here is what our system used to look like:

Icon Description Minimum Experience Minumum Score
New Recruit New Recruit N/A N/A
Private Private 3 finished games 1
Sergeant Sergeant 10 finished games 1000
Lieutenant Lieutenant 20 finished games 1200
Captain Captain 40 finished games 1400
Major Major 60 finished games 1600
Colonel Colonel 100 finished games 2000
General General 200 finished games 4000

Hopefully you agree that the current one is better than it could be, but it could use that one extra rank

I'm pretty sure the entire topic has been that the current system is fine but needs one extra rank..

SUBMITTED.. It's been a long time coming!

+1
For an extra rank between General and Field marshall

For the sake of those of us who don't have to worry about ever becoming a Marshal, between Sergeant 1st Class and Lieutenant make a 1500 point officer rank of Cornet.

Drop Field Marshal to 4000 and make 4500 Generalissimo.

Yay!

If you guys improve that new rank... I may stop playing doodass.

At least seq doodass.

Isn't that motivating ?

Work hard suggestionsTeam, work hard.

why doesn't team CC start using actual military symbols to denote rank?

It does.

The only one not an actual military symbol is the cook's hat. All the others are based on (slightly-modified) actual rank insignia used either in most armies (stripers) or specifically in the British army (colonel's crown, British general's sword-and-baton adapted for the CC major) or in the U.S. army (lieutenant's pips, general's star, U.S. colonel's eagle adapted for the CC Brig) or the U.S. navy (cadet's bar).

(These insignia are used in many other countries also. I just chose American and British examples because they are the best-known to most people.)
