New Veteran Classic Server System

HellabeansHellabeans Universal NS Scapegoat Join Date: 2005-04-12 Member: 48269Members, Constellation
<div class="IPBDescription">o.o</div> NSArmslab is proud to announce our new Veteran Ranking System! As you play on the Veterans Classic server, you will get kills/points that add or subtract to your total ranking (position) on the server. Every week, the top three players on the server will be awarded special icons that no one else has. The number #1 ranked vet will also earn a free reserved slot on the rest of the NSArmslab network for that week. So if you want to win, you must play on the servers and improve your score. Good luck!

The ranking icons are as follows:

<img src='http://hosting.nsagames.com/urd/icons/16.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> = Admin

<img src='http://hosting.nsagames.com/urd/icons/7.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> = #1 Ranked Vet

<img src='http://hosting.nsagames.com/urd/icons/15.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> = #2 Ranked Vet

<img src='http://hosting.nsagames.com/urd/icons/14.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> = #3 Ranked Vet

<img src='http://hosting.nsagames.com/urd/icons/17.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> = Veteran

These new icons, while having been on the server for a while are now going in to effect today. This system is based on a our new Psychostats system that has now been successfully recording each and every one of you now for the last month. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranked people will receive those icons. The group of people who have the icons will also be updated on a weekly basis.

Check out the stats here: <a href='http://www.nsarmslab.com/stats/veterans' target='_blank'>http://www.nsarmslab.com/stats/veterans</a>

    Worst thing you could ever do on a classic server.........If it was Combat only then it would make sence.

    Edit:
    The server is already frag happy, no need to provide an incentive.

    Sorry hella

    Hella, I noticed it used the 'skill' things in PS, not exactly the best representation of skill. ;D

    Uhh... you're joking, right? Let me do some elaboration for you. This is <i>Natural Selection</i>. You've added the plugin to the wrong game server... I believe what you're looking for is <a href='http://www.counter-strike.net/' target='_blank'>Counter-Strike</a>.

    The last thing we needed on the Vet servers was idiots going /rank after each flipping kill.

    Beats getting banned for spawn camping by idiot admins.

    You can disable /stats or /rank. you can't disable the stupidity on an admin.

    YOU'RE NOT A MOD! AMIRITE?!

    Also this is cool. Chewing rt's will give you a lot of skill because you get so many points for knocking out a few.

    Also Psychostats is the Anti-Smurf.

    Is there any information on how score is taken into account? How much would commanding increase your rank? A commander can easily have twice the score of everybody else on his team. Does the value for comm wins matter?

    questions questions.

    We use the same computer, and even though I have my own steam account, I rarely feel like logging in and out to change it.

    First of all, there is no /rank. That is the difference between a log compiling program (like psychostats) and a server plugin like statsme. Please visit www.google.com and look them up.

    Secondly, if you don't like the ranking system, all you have to do is not visit the site (http://www.nsarmslab.com/stats/veterans). Simple. No one is forcing you to participate or earn ranks. NOTHING has changed. All that is different from now and a week ago is that the people who play the most and support the server community the most get rewarded for their time. I see nothing wrong with that.

    If you don't like the way this has been set up, you don't need to participate. But don't try and ruin everyone elses fun.

    Checking rank in-game or through a web browser, not much difference.
    You're telling me nothing changed? I disagree. Today, while playing on NSA Vets, I got yelled at by an alien teammate because I 'stole his points' while killing a res node - I ended up getting the killing bite... twice. Gameplay on your revoles around personal kills and score more than ever - due to this plugin.

    And generally the people who contribute the most to their team have the highest score or points (fades/gorges/etc). This is no different then normal.

    And since when did people take to heart what anyone else said on the Vet server? Is this a new thing? We all know the a**hattery can be strong sometimes in such a competitive enviornment. That is to be expected. I don't think your one event of someone complaining proves much (nor would 20, or even 30). I've seen lots of complaining in my time before we had this program. I think what you are seeing is unfortunately just part of the normal routine. Give it a few weeks and we'll see how it goes. If it doesn't work out we can always change or kill it.

    Oh absolutely. But maybe you didn't quite pick up on what I was saying. I asked such a question because I was just wondering if you had, you know, witnessed what a stats system can do to a game?
