War Games ribbon?

[Clausewitz]

Just an idea, so if it's lousy, or in the wrong place, feel free to smite me for it...

How about a special decoration/ribbon for the War Games victors?

If all goes according to plan, I'll run these war games on a monthly basis, with different twists/objectives every time. The scope may very well broaden, and participants open up to anyone/everyone interested.

The reining champions could have a ribbon/decoration, akin to a Skirmish Ribbon, that they could wear until a new war game is conducted, at which time the 3-4 would be removed from the reining champions, and added to the new champions.

If this is an idea that everyone things is worth pursuing, I'll need the following:

1. A nice ribbon/decoration design.
2. Somebody to update the ribbons/decorations on a monthly basis when the war games are conducted.

I definitely don't want to create work for anybody (*cough* Inyati *cough*), so if this would be too tedious, feel free to shoot down the idea on those grounds alone.

So, its a temporariy prize. People will only hold it until the next Wargame? Why not turn it into a series, like the skirmish or Karma one. Its only one ribbon, that gets upgraded...

As for the work load....who's inyati?
I need patton....

[inyati]

oops, forgot to add, that I like the idea, and I'll exalt you for it ;D

How about a general major exalt ribbon? Just like the exalt/smite/karma one but for major exalts?

Or the reward can be certain amount of exalts too, admins can adjust them manually too.

I like the idea of it being a temporary price. It's like they're all chasing for the ball...last one to get it, gets a ribbon, until the next game where someone can challenge you for it.

But thats just me.

[Shendemiar]

Yes its a good idea too.

No its not, and we need more people to give their insight. Dont be shy, we tailor things to your liking

lol

Well, I was also going to say that having temporary ribbons reduces the amount of ribbon designs and stuff that you'll have to create.

Maybe, if a group/person wins 3 temporary ribbons in a row, he/group can get a permanent ribbon.

I also like the idea of the 'War Games' ribbon. It's like trying to get the belt of the boxing championship ... just swap gloves for cats.

Hmm how about the winner gets a ribbon and then if they win another ribbon it gets upgraded. So you could have the following scenario.

Sol wins one game - Rank 1 Wargames
Kae wins one game - Rank 1 Wargames
Sol wins another game - Rank 2 Wargames etc.

Something simple like the number of stripes could increase or something.

If cumulative it just could have roman numbers etc simple.

What exactly would these War Games be?

Roman numerals would be great.

eproxy your a dumbass.

function numberToRoman($number)
{
   $n       = intval($number);
   $result  = '';

   $lookup = array('M' => 1000, 'CM' => 900, 'D' => 500,
       'CD' => 400, 'C' => 100, 'XC' => 90, 'L' => 50, 'XL' => 40,
       'X' => 10, 'IX' => 9, 'V' => 5, 'IV' => 4, 'I' => 1);

   foreach ($lookup as $roman => $value)
   {
   
       $matches   = intval($n / $value);
       $result   .= str_repeat($roman, $matches);
       $n         = $n % $value;
   }

   return $result;
}

I like this idea... If you gain a boxing belt and manage to fight off three challengers you get to keep it....
