Score Streak

I’m obsessed with finding a rankings system which is exciting and meaningful in the short term – ie, “yes! I did really well over today and now I’m being recognised for it!”.  My first solution to this was the “Daily Rankings”, which were rankings based on total points in the last 24 hours.  It was a good start, and is a good way of showing who’s been doing well recently, but I think it’s a little too effected by big scores on Secure matches, as well as being a bit de-motivating if you’ve got a big negative score.

So I introduce… Score Streak!

Your Score Streak is basically the number of wins you’ve had, and how many points you’ve won, since you last lost a game.  So if you’ve won three in a row you’ll be looking pretty good, but if you then lose a game you’ll be back to zero.  (And your Score Streak will be reset if you don’t play for more than two days).

It’s in the beta now, no update required so let me know what you guys think.

    I have been looking at your stuff for a long time, but this is my first comment. I just wished to let you know that http://www.mode7games.com/blog/2010/01/23/score-streak/ was one of your best – at least in my judgment.
