Ive had another brainwave (could be brilliant or daft........you decide). Hows about dishing out player of the week/month awards, for example - best teamplayer of the week - Best medic of the week - funniest suicide, and so on and so forth. With the votes coming from players themselves
As i have mentioned it could be a stupid idea or a great one.......... on the plus side it could encourage better teamplay and more website interest. i havent thought of a negatyive side yet so..... What do you all think?????

would be very nice. however, the guys who maintain and run this site work very hard and enough as it is along with the headache of running a server. not to mention multiple servers...not to mention multiple servers across multiple platforms (games). all that and run a great site with vt. maybe if it were automatic or something (ie pre coded, cut and paste type content) but if not just too much work on our already overworked hosts.
I´m with you Ranger. Just some thoughts of mine: How do you calculate good teamplay? Funniest suicide? Recording all action with fraps? A lot of video to check to get the best clip.

There is a few people that know the stats system better than us who we can ask but when altering the system there is always the chance you screw something up, then you have lots of angry players who just lost their stats, but it is a good idea, the DFX stats some with something along the lines you are thinking of, it is done by the system partly, unfortunatly they are completely different systems made by different organisations, you cant port one section over to another. JO stats do have a top 10 listing for different sections in the system, thats about as close as your going to get i think m8, but yup nice idea.

Yea i was thinking about all the obvious hard work you guys already put into the servers and website etc, thats partly why i posted the poll incase there was a less labour intensive way of doing it. For example, some sort of table with various titles like teamplayer of the week etc and a blank space for players to put who they think into it.
If i can think of a constructive way of doing such a thing i will post again and thanks for the feedback
