Any ideas how we can reconfigure the ladder system?
 
I.e, something better than the fielder, bowler, ultra poster, idea.
 
I want something other than the  'club player' - 'world class player' idea you see everywhere else - maybe something to do with fielding positions - start off at short leg end with the slips.
 
Or have everyone as some sort of bowler - declaration bowler, part-time bowler all the way through to main strike bowler/new ball bowler.
 
Any other ideas?

This sounds like a good idea.
How about batting positions

Tailender, Special batstman, Middle order, Openng batsman

I've gone with the batsman idea. Basically, the more posts, the higher up the order you move. So, you start at 12th man, and work your way up to opening batsman.
 
Get to 10,000 posts and you're a world-class all-round batsman.
 
I'm trying to think of something clever for the mods/admins, ambidextorous or omnipresent batsmen or something?

It doesn't seem to be working properly - the highest anyone is at the moment is a lower-order batsman!

Are you spreading out the gaps between each level as well?

Good idea JP but 10,000 posts is too much, it would take me 10 years to reach that

It should be like this:

0 posts= 12th Man
Less than 100= Tailender
More than 100= Lower order batsman
1000+= Middle Order batsman
3000+= Openng Batsman
5000+= Legendary Cricketer

How come some people have only 10 posts but are wicket-keeper batsman. What are all the batting positions. 12th man, Lower order batsman, Wicket-keeper batsman, Number 7 batsman, number 6 batsman, higher middle order batsman, Specailist number 11 batsman are there any others?

It is working, but the way the forum works, everyone is defaulted into the starter group until they post, so if they don't post for a while but have lots of posts, it won't register that until they do post.

Or unless I go round and check them all and change them manually.

It'd give me something to do on a slow news day!!!

Maybe:
a)Part-timer
b)Wide bowler... and ends at yorker or banger.[IMG]smileys/smiley36.gif" align="middle" />

Doesn't soung too good to me.

-JP- how would the highest be a lower-order batsman. AK would almost be an opener by now.

I think the current one is good enough too. I'll post later when I get some better ideas.
       
EDIT: I never knew that the Batting order was already there. YAY! I'm a Higher Middle Order Batsman (a bit too long and the other one is still better). How often do have I batted so high in the order.

Well this no 7 and number 6 batsmen is a bit of monotony, secondly this system tells us that the opening batsmen is the best well thats usually not the case! I believe use all three forms, batting, bowling , fielding, and eventually get a few legends names into the fold, can have more slabs, and may be we have admin group also nammed into the system, I am working on that too!
so far so good!

I like that wiseguy - anyone else have any objections/suggestions, else I'll go with that.

I'll give everyone 24 hours to decide.

Isn't 50,000 little more? Nobody is above 10,000, AK would have been there if he comes to the forum.

My suggestion: drop some of the names from middle and add the ones that are last on the list.

No, we'll keep that upper limit, I reckon.

After all, wouldn't you have said that 99.94 is bordering on the impossible?

How about we fit in skipper somewhere in between those JP. I'd say between 400-500.

As an alternative you could have names of players allocated for each stage - starting off with the worst player in Test history, whoever he may be, getting better and better until you hit 50k posts and you then are Don Bradman.

On the flip side my one concern with having high post counts necessary for some levels is that it will encourage the post boosters ever more.

I think that could get a bit messy - what if someone, for example, takes exception to being labelled 'Allan Border' instead of 'Sachin Tendulkar' or something?

And yup, the post-boosting would be horrific.

Think of the poor sods stuck as "Ashley Giles" between 50 and 100 posts LOL

We could have a vote for the name of each rank.

And make post boosting a banning offence \o/
