War Captain - Option Poll - Page 3

Interesting idea, I like the general concept. Pity that there isn't an easy system better than RPs to choose captains. Perhaps a sort of in-game reputation system would work? The system would have some similarities to karma:

Players can add to another person's reputation, with these limits:

Each player is limited to adding once per day, and penalties apply for adding several days in a row. After adding to that player for five days in a row, players may not add to that player again for a week.

Players cannot add to more than five other players' reputations per day.

Reputation adding is slightly lowered when adding to other clan members.

Reputation applies to accounts, not characters.

Players cannot add to their own reputation.

When a fort is captured, players can click the flag to view a list of the top 10 reputation-holding players in 50m of the fort. They may vote on a player for the first 30 seconds. The three top-voted players are chosen as captains.

Of course this idea is not perfect and probably needs a lot of adjusting, but at least it gives an alternative to RP-grinding as a way to be a leader, and lets players choose their own generals.

Interesting idea and also Flightcaps.

I would be good to have a point to having RP. The idea of a different color to indicate high RP has allways appealed to me...so you know who is either experienced or a total RP whore.

As it is now on Ra you have to play for years to get into the top rankings. Having an instant snapshot of who is the "top of the pops" is gratifying in itself.

Flightcaps idea is also good so cheers all the way around.
