i am getting more fond of the ranking system of Armor Games web site, but I have a suggestion to make. Okay so my i idea or "suggestion" is to have the games connected to the rank or point system. Example. when you reach a higher score than last you should be awarded a point or two, or when you complete a game you should be awarded a couple of points mabe like 5 or 10. Now it was just a thought. It my be difficult to connect all the games that are already uploaded to the site ... Give me your thoughts...

A good example is Palisade Guardian 2 i have beetin' it about 2 times now.. Mabe the games such as this could be connected to the point system first... and so on and so forth...

The majority of the games already give you rewards for accomplishing certain tasks (like achievements), but the current point system that we have now is good enough (though I don't like one particular category). If you're concerned about gaining points, just make sure you're very active on the site without having your posts and comments disturbing the peace, meaning that you don't spam game comments or post irrelevant replies on the forums.

Do that, and you'll do great

Yeah, I think our current one is fine.
Just one problem, I think they should of thought that someone could get passed 17,500? I wish the ranks wen higher but since FT is so high, theres no point cause then the new ones would be just handed to them.

Aldo Freakenstein, what is the one part you hate? Cooments?

Lemme guess: Game rating.

True, and as you can see the, the top 10 show just how far you can make it.

The idea is a bit like Kong awards I find. And there is a flaw:

I make 1 point on a game. I get one AP for making a new record.

I play the game again, and make a new record of 2 points. I get 1 AP.

I play the game again and make a record of 3 points. I get one AP

I play the game...

Get the idea? You can make massive amounts of points with this idea, almost like spamming.

Yesh. And UlimitedPower's 'flaw' in the game isn't really a flaw, just another way of gaining points, since it is slower than pressing a button and gaining 2 points for it.

Yesh.

No.

True, but it is sort of a spammy way to make points (And a way to make quite a few if you do it right. Imagine if my 'game' has a point maximum of 100,000 points. Imagine Music Catch being abused with this method.)
UlimitedPower's

Ulimitedpower. Say it right, man!

Oh, so you're saying about gaining AP proportional to the points gained from a score in a game? That's silly! Of course that would be totally unbalanced! I like the 1 AP every time you play a game though. It's not much at the beginning, but it grows a lot if you like to play flash games.

Yeah. How about to get the AP you need to play at least 5 minutes? So you know, people don't abuse.

Wouldn't that screw us more since people in the top 10 would gain even more pts than us?

How would that be? You can't get AP from doing two things twice; I'm sure you have experimented with this before :P

Every 5 minutes that you play 1 game, you gain 1-2 AP. I think this is fair, and it would encourage users to play the game thoroughly. This can have a chain reaction to provide more-detailed reviews to give to the developer of the game, providing useful suggestions and problems to report that can help the developer create much more creative and all-around better games.

And how about you can only comment and rate games after 5 minutes? That would stop the people that rate without playing...
