All these posts... does no one stop to think... Some people just spar for fun, and not for board/stats.
1. Thallen's leaderboard was a great idea at the start imo, but then I got bored of being at top 10, and stopped sparring, since it doesn't mean much to me. You have to be on almost 24/7 to be #1.
2. Last leaderboard was apparently abused by Dae, thallen said that. I would have a high score on it, and be worried about sparring good people to avoid losing high score.
3. I think comyt and sarah's/only logical idea of leaderboard that mostly everyone agrees on would be great. People that say a leaderboard with total wins would discourage others from sparring... really? Let's see we have a pk leaderboard, in which someone got #1 after a few months, and baddy leaderboard where people have too much, but others still want to be high on it.
I do see all your points though, I do get discouraged of pking due to the fact that I want to on top/at least get 100K, but I am so lazy to do something that bores me. On the other hand, some people like to pk, and will continue to pk no matter the leaderboard, same thing goes for baddy kills. If there were a leaderboard for total spar/daily/weekly, then people will continue to spar, because it is fun for them.
Point is: If you don't want to spar/sparring for stats or leaderboard, then why spar? It's all about having fun at what you do. The only thing stats should give are hats for milestones. That would definetely encourage people to pk/bk/spar, no matter which leaderboard is set up.
