I guess I'll point out that the kind of "BM" I was dealing with back then was stuff like, "Fuck, suwako is such a fucking stupid character", "we dont need any more shitwacko players", "fuck, why is suwako even in this fucking game" etc etc.

guess why I left #hisouten

I like this and I've been looking forward to this since the first blog post on +1 coins about soku lobby.
You should keep the stats though instead of resetting them, the ranks wouldn't move too fast anyways with a soku's small community.
Having the lobby find an opponent for you seems like a good idea, but i'm not sure how well it would work with a small pool of players if the lobby is trying to match players with the same rating.

I can see individual ranks reaching their long-term levels long before a season ends, since each soku session with an opponent is at least a few games, if not 10/20/30 matches; your rank points would change by at least a few hundred (in whichever direction the results push you) after games with a few different people. The resets worked quite well for iCCup and I would hesitate to not have it in lobby simply because that makes the ranks not "fresh". Muii's Pac-man machine analogy does not apply since ranks aren't high scores; ranks are supposed to be recent measures of skill for players, not long-term records to break.

I think it's best if players were able to choose between random matchmaking and selecting their own opponent. Having the option to make some friendly games ranked is certainly not a bad idea.

What about, instead of reseting the stats every x time, You reduce the points every X amount of time, but, having a 'Max points reached stat", here is an example

A really good player gets 15,200 points, every 1 week he loses 100 points just like anyone (Or maybe vary it depending on your Rank) , he already reached 15,200 though so his Max Rating of all times is 15,200, though his actual one is 15,100, and next week is going to be 15,000, and so on and so forth, but if he plays and gets to 15,300 now his new record is 15,300. Even if he falls to 2,000 , everyone will know he had the 15,300 record. (the maximum points he has ever had) .

It's possible to have a page where it shows all your past seasons in a format that looks something like this, except formatted nicer and with icons:

Quote

Season 1:
Max rank reached: C- | End of season rank: D+
Max points reached: 3071 | End of season points: 2955

Season 2:
Max rank reached: C- | End of season rank: C-
Max points reached: 3325 | End of season points: 3188

Maybe it'll be a tab in your profile page? Just like achievements/character statistics.

The point decay model is another idea that could be viable for keeping ranks recent; I added a poll for that as well, so it's up to you guys to vote on it. If that model is implemented, however, it won't be possible to record distinct "seasons".

IMO everyone should start with a certain amount of points maybe somewhere around C rank. Since people will lose points anyway it shouldn't affect the actual ranks really.

Also the points should both be reset after a while and there should be a penalty for inactivity. Though inactivity would have to be defined.

I hope there will be an option to never have your games ranked.

Having your points drop all the time assures if you dont play for a long time you will get your punishment.

You can just host or join unranked games; not everyone will always play ranked games.
