I for one very much like the idea if for example an Yellow member will win a tournement, that his action is being recorded and he then already finished the achievement necessery for the black member.
The weekly online game is so much different than the leagues. Each game here in the weekly online game has different expansions, sometimes many expansions. That means - the score difference is very difficult than in the league.
But to add to Yellow's comment, Maybe you can also add a similar idea in the future with NON-tournament based in with stuff like - Design an Fan-expansion.- Write 10 reviews of your played games (not online, and with picture!)- Post a 1000 times. - Own all the mini expansions released in 2014. (picture in your own Meet the member section )In this case you meet some members who dont play much online game halfway. Its their choice to participate in the order of meeple.
One thing I would like clarified, do you have to meet all requirements for a level. I would think if you achieve half of them you advance to that level. I do like the concept.
The only other thing I would suggest is score differentials be wiped annually. It is a big handicap if you start by losing games and improve. It would take twice as long to get to the same level for a total newbie than an intermediate level player if they both end up at the same ability. They may be equal in skill but one will have a lot bigger score differential than the other. Maybe score differentials could be based on your last 10 or 20 games or something like that so as you improve your earlier performance does not have so much influence.
I definitely think that any sort of recognition of your progress in the Order of the Meeple "track" should be limited to within the "Leagues" forum, as a sticky post or whatever. That way people who want to participate in that can see their achievements recognized but new folks aren't wondering why their profiles aren't adorned with or and feel "left out" and maybe not want to participate (either in leagues or in general) for that reason.Anyway, I'm sorry to see this has caused some distress. I'm sure that was the farthest thing from dan, MrNumbers, and jungleboy's minds.
I have read all the messages about this and I understand all sides. I like the idea of it in principle. I personally am unlikely to ever get to be black but I am ok with that.
Understand that I am very upset about this and I feel betrayed so at least have the courtesy of adjusting this idea so it's solemny suited for the League and nothing in general, as it appears to be so atm.
Remove achievements and abilites and words that has to do with a player being good. For this is truly a random thing.
A great idea and sounds like fun!
Clearly my voice is not taken into consideration at all and it's obvious I won't have any one on my side nor reading what I write.
But I do agree that maybe it should only include official competitions and have stats from other games just for interest sake. Challenge matches could be made official somehow but normal weekly online or table games should just be for interest sake.
