Can all these stats be explained again in one post? I read all the thread but it's still quite confused and the thread is... long!

I don't think anyone really understands it...

They stand for Attack, Defence, Movement and HP... Not sure what HP is... it seems to be a %age of experience you need to increase your attack to the next level... if that's true this post should take me up to

A: 49 | D: 75 | M: 12 | HP: 00

And you were right (MarkH)!

Edit: What I don't understand is how HP really would rise up to 0... and then be traded in for a higher attack... shouldn't there be some logic in this?

Okay, I read some of this thread but Iàm on a slow connectionùù

my stats are as followsç
A: 45 | D: 99 | M: 18 | HP: 84
attack 45 )number of posts?)
defense 99 (3 posts a day or more... I htink)
hit pointsç made 0 when yoiu are about to level up (This makes very little sense=
Movement 18... linked to time registered?

I dont quite understand them, but i think according to page 1ùù what I wrote above is correct?

3. Mike H- I can kick your &ss


and my suggestion would be to move them between the Location and the Date, or under the date in the posting fields so that they wonàt be forgotten.

I think Rahàs idea is great|

strange... how to make those like civ II?ù
perhaps we need a firepower rating0 given to those who were restricted for spamming the most

===
but seriously=

to make them like civ... hmm...
could Hit points? go to 100 instead of 00 when someone is about to leve up?

and shouldnàt the level system be stated somewhere (or is it somewhere in this thread) such as how many posts per level are needed

we could award titles--- great leaders to the people who have over 50 attack or 25 movement? perhaps?

just some ideas-

or we could do as rah wished and make it like D&D

And yes, for once I will trumpet this horn:

mark, a gentle warning' this system invites spam, it not only makes me want to keep my ppd over 5 as I have always wanted- it gives me a reason to...

but I like the feature ,)

we will soon all have Civ-ratings and be Unit-Posters on the field of battle

---
what if you changed HP to measure the length of your posts and rank people by the lengths of posts?

---
and what if we could have a way to sort the rankings by the top ranker in A,M, and D---not HP because HP is as now useless ,)

I'd prefer the D&D structure of stats. who cares if its not civish? most avatars of people with over 500 posts aren't civish either

True... but I do like the fact that my movement rate is nice and high... M: 25...

That, and D&D stats, unless we actually go with some kind of challenge system and online game is less useful than saying "Hey! I'm a tank!"

But HP is fairly useless right now...

And what of unit clasification... If I'm a M: 25 D: 68 I want to be a some kind of scout tank rather than an interesting looking knight or fighter.

A: 22 | D: 68 | M: 25 | HP: 57

New question... for those of us who want to have our stats listed somewhere... is there code to integrate it into our signature lines? Especially if it stays as the Unit style rather than D&D style this would be a much easier place to put it.

could you fix it so that everyone started at zero, (to make it fair) and every hundred or so posts, OT or otherwise, you would level up and have the chance to add skill points? This is one way you could have OT posts count for something again

true...
though for me, the Democracy game was what really pushed my post count up. I think it accounts for almost 100 of my 500 posts (just guessing, i didn't count). I was only at 400 posts a month ago or so and I been here > a year.

would you say avg length per post?
this might help cut down on spam as people would have to write something of substance instead of just 's
but who knows, maybe that'll just encourage long spams...

Either that... or it'd just start up a bunch of quoting problems...

Yes, that is precisely what I was advocating

and perhaps quoting would not count for post count--- (see Iàm already preparing for that, making my quotes without the code)

---
also wondering, could the levels correspond to the stats,
exç so and so is a tank... then have specific tank types and levels for tanks...

example: at the beginning someone would choose:
UNCONVENTIONAL (Diplomats, caravans, etc)
NAVAL
LAND

then, after a certain level... say 30,, the vanity class of AIR could be opened.

On each level one would progress through different type of unit titles:

Tiger Tank, Panzer I, Panzer II, Anti Aircraft Gun
Legion, etc.

Then at level 40, one could choose a picture (or title) at which to stay at... Soemone could pick say, a Legionaire title instead of a Tiger Tanker title...

The Spoils of ranks

How does that sound ,)

How about seriously adding things like rating of threads, length of posts, amount of quotes and so on, to the statistics?

all good, but who actually uses the thread rating system?
I usually go by subject title to take a look.

Markos -
If you have some way of finding out how many OT-posts the apolytoners have, they could be used somehow in the stats too... like ambush-bonus/lucky bonus/to-hit bonus/ect...

Well, if we're going Civ units... why not a Leonardo's Workshop rating? LW. Which would be a percentage. Then, once that tops out and drops back to 0% A, D, M, and HP are all uped by the different amounts (or randomly uped by one or two).

I just hate the idea that I'm born into a higher level each time.
