base rankings

[Machine of God]

i noticed that there are lots of people that enjoy playing ?go base and since there is a ranking system for elim and baseelim, maybe it would be a cool idea to have it for ?go base

would it be too hard to do?
is it worth it?

[Beef Lo Mein]

Can you only choose to be one ship in ?go base? or can you switch ships like in pub?

[Machine of God]

you can only be one ship, but you can be switched by the captain
the teams are picked by captains, 8 players per team

2 teams battle for the flag, team with most points after a certain amount of time (15, 20, 30mins) wins, its similar to twbd only not squads

you should play it some time, you have not experienced basing until you have actually played a base match, and if you are a fan of leviterring it may even sway you from that.

What do you want to rate?
Value? Points? Netto Points? Wins? Win/loss ratio? Games won?
Games played/won ratio? Players rating?

Unless its a bit for the fun of it, it is all kind of useless. If someone is a terrier he wont get as much points as a spider.
The terrier will most likely get a better win/loss, especially over a Shark. Shark will get less points than a spider, but he might have been keeping his terrier alive.
There are different ships with different tasks within a team, the rating says nothing..
Well it also doesn't really mean anything in elim or whatever, but maybe some people would like to be rated...

You could do an additional mvp vote in the end like in HZ, but there it isn't really used either, or at least not serious.

there are rankings in TWD, kinda fun to look yourself up and see how you are doing

I liked what Myth put up before, the most amount of wins for a specific ship (i think it was a shark).

He stated how many times a person was picked, how many times they were picked as shark, how many times they won, and how many times they won as shark. If he could do that for each ship or something that'd be neat, but really not neccesary.

Stats are worthless. You know if you're good or not. (unless you're delusional like RR)

Dont make basing like elim, in other words, dont make it gay.

Sounds good, but how you can rank peoples in team? By wins and loses? Does not sound like a basing game. That is the only problem... Maybe they should be ranked by flag points?

That would be fun or not. Basing like elim sounds kinda weird, but it could be fun!

[Bigwig]

add stats and you add people who will only play spider and only play for rec, and spec for rec, and complain when they die, and act like they're better than everyone else. not that basing doesn't have this already, but lets keep it in check at least.

BASING DOES NOT EQUAL ELIM. AND WE WILL NOT MAKE IT LIKE ELIM. TY

Basing turned gay when #myth started.

I think the only way recorded stats would have any real value is if it's a simple win-loss record or even a different record for each ship that person plays.

Myth, Castromarx, myself and a few other basers spent a couple hours trying to come up with a good way to do individual stats for ?go base and here's what we can up with:

You can't do it, sorry.

The heart of basing is still team competition, and that's the way it should stay. No matter how you slice it, how well you do is always going to depend on un-quantifiable variables like "how well a crew works together", or how balanced the spiders are between attacking and defending, high/low. In that sense, ranking players at all is somewhat useless (just like how several duelists have commented that elim rankings are rather meaningless in 5 v 5 competition). Even if you do something basic, like calculating the number of wins/losses a person got in each ship type is misleading, since popular (loud mouth) players will get picked very often by inexperienced captains and their ratings will suffer despite their prowess.

Just have fun and worry about doing your best, don't care so much about who's got the bigger dick (I got you all beat anyway)
