Ganking meters

[BlackWidow]

I had this idea the other day about adding two more statistics to a character's GY post, though I'm not sure how feasible it is to apply them posthumously. Basically, the statistics involve how much a person ganked other players or how much they were ganked by other players. While I am unsure how it will work out (I have no idea what the numbers would represent), the basic idea is simple. Add one number indicating the average group size of the character when they scored a kill, and add another number to indicate how many people it took on average to kill them in PK.

I think doing it to two decimal points, e.g. 1.50, 1.75, 2.00 or whatever would make the most sense. Also, there are other details which would have to be ironed out (do mirror images, ranger pets, etc. count towards this number?).

TL:DR version: I propose adding two more statistics to a character's GY post showing how much ganking goes on in AR.

So you want us to steal the gank-o-meter from CF?

not enough ganking happens in AR right now to make this a worthwhile statistic

I used to care if other muds had shit that we didn't have, but after I saw hadoop for the very first time I dropped all the fucks I gave. Emulation is sometimes a very necessary part of competition and what counts really is who was first. I think we are the first mud to have our game streaming. I know we'll see other muds doing it sooner or later, but we'll always have the bragging rights.


The graveyard was an emulated idea. Actually I think the penalties part of it sucks. It promotes conservative play and discourages carefree mindless pk'ing because excessive killing hurts your scores... I remember I got a -2 penalty from like 4 pk's at level 40 and that told me immediately to never pk until 50. You get a shit penalty permanelty on your record. I dont want to be promoting ganking but I dont like everything about the penalty

Pking from ranks 15-49 at regular intervals shouldn't penalize a character.
