Super Fun EVERYTHING LEADERBOARD Idea

[Zentetsuken]

Okay, so the main bragging rights in this game are obviously PVP related, but what if there was some room for people to have bragging rights over more mundane and silly things?

I have been told that jorb is against the idea of a leaderboard, but I hope this suggestion is different enough to change some minds.

I don't know how much of this data is actually collected or how much of a pain it would be to START collecting it if it wasn't, but hear me out.

What if there was a totally hidden leaderboard that kept track of 100s of ingame things? From most PVP kills, to most horse bollucks eaten, to most foxes flayed. The catch would be that only 1 of these things is displayed on the website every day, or maybe it could even change every 12 hours or something. It's not a static leaderboard where people can keep track of pvp kills and use it as a main motivator, and maybe PVP kills is not even included at all, who knows. The point is that it would give bragging rights for much less serious things, AND, maybe at the end of the world some of these leadersboards can be drawn randomly and put in a lottery to win a hat or something.

So it's like there is actually a tiny bit more competition to all aspects of the game. If you see one day you are like 50 flayed foxes behind the person who has flayed the most, you might never see that leaderboard again but you'll want to flay more foxes in hopes that you will be #1 fox flayer and that your #1 spot might count as a ballot for end of the world hat.

Don't act like it's not a FUN idea.

Has been discussed before. Its a yes from me again.
It shouldn't be hidden though.

y not tho

The devs have access to this.

The devs play the game.

Seems like the devs cheat, although it wouldn't be the first time.

I would only put it as blanket statements though.

Highest <Skill> : <Number>
Highest <Attribute> : <Number>

Time for player-dev equality?

I don't think its a big deal if they cheat in their own game for their own pleasure in some random corner of the world.

Here's my suggestion from last time. And I think Jorb said something on an old stream about not liking leaderboards for privacy/secrecy reasons, right before showing some player's IP addresses by accident.

I'd just be okay with lots of silly or mundane stats on the account page, like dirt/stone dug, distance traveled, HP lost to leeches, bum burn endured.

It could be simple enough to allow people the option to be privately listed. Maybe in our forum profiles we could have a checkbox that turns our display name in to Anonymous on the leaderboard or something. This way the actual listing is still visible but the person who has it can opt out of being known for it.

Yeah, i'm against leaderboards etc, but this is pretty fun
