Idea: Add a tier system

[Godbody]

@Rant word... we were told not to suggest things that require coding..but I suggested this because while I may not know much about coding, I know this isn't something complex

It's simple

Same tier opponent +1 for winning / 0 for participating / 0 for losing
Lower tiered oppponent +0 for winning / 0 for participating / -2 for losing
Higher tiered opponent +2 for winning / +1 for participating / -1 for losing

we can play around with these numbers..^

Like someone said earlier, the admins could literally assign the tiers by hand using mod permissions.. the same way ya'll give out Grand Champion usertitles or w/e... Or like Mindless said, have some kind of metric to determine an individuals skill level

either way, coding the shit itself shouldnt be that hard. the harder part would be deciding how we determine who falls into what tier or if we can implement the current ranking system (stars & skill points) into assigning someone a tier

Actually, this is a horrible idea. Nevermind.

So then we can make the tier thing an 'opt in' system where ya'll hand out tiers to active battlers based on who asks to be a part of the new system

solves the problem of going through all the inactive accounts
