Remove "Top Pilots of Tour" from News?
« on: June 25, 2008, 07:45:54 PM »
How many are interested in seeing this on the front News page every tour? Personally I think it gives the wrong impression to visitors and new players that Aces High is focused on score/rank rather then it's historic content,mates and team work.

The top overall results are already listed in the score page each tour for review like any other statistic. I don't consider them "news" worthy.

In it's replacement, real news each month or even weekly. Stories of heroic individual,team or squad accomplishments via a basic hero award scheme. This will give anyone whether they are new or veterans the opportunity to receive recognition based on other players reports.

Howabout a "get to know" section of the news that selects a lucky pilot for an interview? That way we know we're all human and not some robots!

How about we put the "Aces of Aces High" in place of "Top Pilots of Tour ##" ?? Instead of thinking "I have to be one of those top pilots!" as soon as they enter the website they see the Aces of Aces High films and get a feel that its not being the top pilot in scores, but having fun!

Seeing the top pilots is one of my personal favorites ~ as well as the cocky banter that goes along with any effort to get there... competition *rocks*

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

or the FSO results for the month.  or the scenarios, koth or races  .... team stuff.   

Going to duck n hide after this because I know it's risky---> or country stats

rooks got X amount of kills
rooks were killed X amount
Rooks captured X amount of bases
Rooks won X amount of resets

and so on for Bishops and knights

actually Lynx, that's a good idea.  That way everyone that says "Rooks/Bishop/Knights do more stuff and blah blah blah than us" can see that every country is almost the same.  But Rooks pwn all!
