Rank below cook needed - Waiter - POLL !

[reggie_mac]

Do it

[Jeff Hardy]

yeah definitely ask lack
when i play cooks i always look if they are one of the cooks that are nearly cadet or the type that has less than 400 points
it even changes the way i play... and my respect for them
this might sound harsh but i respect players with less than 400 a lot less because i know they are there on purpose and that is stupid of them

[pookey]

I think a Conscientious Objector rank (or Waiter ) could be a great idea. If i lose to a cook with 700 odd points then I'm only going to lose 40/50 something maybe. If, however, I lose to a cook with say 10 points I will lose 100 points. Unless I check the profile of every cook I play, I won't know when to change my strategy accordingly.

Agreed i think it is a great idea.

The rank of Waiter (or whatever you want to call it) should be established at around the 500 point mark.

[GrimReaper.]

How about we call the new rank "Perma-banned"? Anyone below, say, 300 points can't play anymore. I doubt you'll find anyone below that, who hasn't been losing intentionally anyway.

i dropped from around 900 to 500 in a week because my uncle has lekumis and it was difficult for me to get on (still is)

Give your PW to a member of your clan and let them take your turns if you are away.

[FabledIntegral]

I hardly notice a difference between a 1200 player and a 400 player. You guys kidding when you say you see a difference between someone with 750 points vs 400 points? Seriously?

The 400 pt cook could win a doodle assassin and easily be ranked around 800+ after that, no longer being a cook in the first place.

When I was a cook, I was stuck there for ages. Always between 700-800 points. Then I got the idea, and went straight up to Sergeant 1st Class (where I am now, when not a Lieutenant). I maybe we should take out the Private 1st Class rank or something? I still think, though, that a REALLY low score (eg 400 or less) should be distinquished. This is the type of player that enters a game and auto-attacks straight away.

Is that not what a 700 pt cook does?

Jump up to Lieutenant you mean?

[ManBungalow]

Maybe we should keep a count of who disagrees and who agrees with this suggestion...
Is there any way of making a poll in this thread now?

there is little difference in play but for some there is a lot of difference in the points they win/lose

[samuelc812]

I reckon replace the Cook Rank with "Medic" and push "Cook" back to 500 or so...

[ManBungalow]

bump : please vote

[ManBungalow]

I'll be interested to see some more cooks post here as well.


Is there a "Cook clan" or something that I could message ??

[theconquerer1995]

If we're going to have Waiter, can there be a rank below that called Dumb-Waiter?

Brilliant idea, although waiter is probably not the right term, i'd like to see dish-pis (pot scrubber, or some other kitchen name) but my personal favorite would be "Janitor" because it has more implications for how shite they are

actually, i like janitor too.

Suggestion: 700 is a better cutoff than 600

Look at scoreboard.

1905/19749 players are cooks. That is 9.6% of all players.

Only 358/19749 players are below 600. Do we need a special rank for this bottom 1.8%?
To split cooks in half, the lowest rank would cutoff at 711 points.

I totally understand the player who said that the info is nice to know in order to minimize point loss risk. Maybe a "progress bar" could be added below everyone's rank icon to indicate how close they are to achieving the next rank?

[FarangDemon]

Why, how many people do you see playing cooks as is? High ranks don't join in case they lose. Cooks are stuck playing people of a similar rank until they improve score (which is hard as they can't play higher ranks)

Lets cut the sympathy right here.



I don't think cooks have it rough.

Cooks have plenty of opportunities to play high ranked people. Many high ranked people love playing cooks - that's how they get a lot of their points.



So you don't need to play higher ranked people to move up in rank. In fact, when I began I was afraid of the higher ranks so I stayed away from them. I gained in rank very quickly just playing people my own rank. Then I realized that the CC gods were not immortal... and now, as a demon, , I have become one of the immortals myself.

A 750 that beats a 1200 wins 32 points.
At 2813, I'd need to beat someone with 4500.8 points in order to get 32 points.

I would have to slay a field marshal. All a cook has to do is beat a middle ranked player. And that's a high cook (or master chef ).

[ManBungalow]

I wonder if the lowest rank (let's say Waiter) could be prevented from playing with Field Marshalls or above...

This would cut back on farming, encourage Waiters to get promoted and make the ranks more interesting

Any thoughts ?

[Artimis]

Make it 100 points then. I believe strongly that no one can maintain a rank that low, naturally.

I beg to differ, I was well on my way to less than 500 when I was trying out some wacky tactics back along.

There is a HUGE difference between 500 and 100.

[a.sub]

can we call them "cargo" or something like that?

Nobody farms chefs do they? So how would that help at all.. ?

[Joodoo]

i agree with both suggestions
i think a new rank for players with less than 500
and a ban for players who get less than 300

Everyone says that the current ranking system doesn't properly gauge a player's ability. I say dump the old military ones and use a more realistic system- that way you know exactly what kind of player you're up against.

It'll be hilarious if everyone accepts this system
