What the POWER RANKINGS will do is provide a portion of the basis for our full-sim feature. In the full-sim feature, you will be able to set up a card and have COTGonline play it out and provide results for you in a matter of seconds. This will give people who want to catch up through several years a history a quick and efficient way to do so, and it will also let you run a lengthy "house show" schedule while saving the actual gameplay for your important events.
Each character card in the COTGonline universe will have a numerical rating associated with it.
It will be comprised of combination of:
-Actual card strength (a similar system to Lord Rahl’s ratings)
-Random chance (simulated dice rolls)
-Power Ranking (this will “weigh” the least when factored in)
Now, about the POWER RANKINGS vote:
Each character will be given a number within its respective game edition. The “best” or “top” character should receive the Power Ranking #1, while the “worst” or “bottom” character should receive the highest number (the number of cards in that game edition).
This Power Ranking will add a small, but unique wildcard element when the full-sim feature factors winners and losers. The voting should be a fun time, and create some interesting discussion.
Let’s start with a game edition we all know and love. I personally, will be voting on character status from my point of view. You may choose to vote on how these characters preformed in your fed, or simply on which ones you like the best.
When the voting ends (due to inactivity, but let’s say in a week from today), the results will be tallied and each character will be assigned a permanent POWER RANKING number for that respective game year.
Your vote will count only once, so make it good.
Explanations are welcome. Debates are expected.
Here we go…

PS – my votes are in a separate post so you can “quote” and move around as necessary instead of typing all the names out again for yourself.

GWF 2087
#1 - Thantos

#6 - Exo-King
#7 - Comrade Terror
#8 - Lord Nexus
#9 - Massacre
#10 - Actagon
#11 - Commander Sam
#12 - Pit Viper
#13 - Killer Queen

#22 - Vanity
#23 - Death Knight
#24 - Beast Rider
~ :-Xsk
ps - One might ask the point of all this (other than it being a fun thread), and I say look at how I’ve placed Omega at 18 and Vanity at 22. One could argue that both should be at the very bottom statistically, but their characters, to me at least, deserve a bit of something to help them out. Also, BDS laughed at me for having Kraken at #4. For me, he was always right under the top three.

i dont understand this myself. I would tend to agree. What is the point of this? These Power Ranking votes will be included as part of the "rating" for a character in the simulator. A lot of other factors will be included, some mathematical, some based on the storylines, and some coming directly from the creators, but we thought it would be cool to have a fan voting component in there, too. Plus, it's fun to call out Osk for being a moron and putting Krakan at #4. I still haven't figured that one out.  Edit: With apologies to JMello, who has clearly been affected by Osk's orbital mind control laser. |

I'm assuming the power rankings are meant to be driven more by the storyline of the day versus card stats, so I could see ranking Krakan #4 since he was always threatening Thantos for control of the bad guy squad.
Also, what about separate power rankings for tag-team ability? It would make a big difference in a loner type like Wolf.
1. Thantos
2. Star Warrior
3. Wolf
4. Lord Nexus
5. Massif
6. Krakan
7. Exo King
8. Comrade Terror
9. Massacre
10. Actagon
11. Executioner
12. Commander Sam
13. Proteus
14. Killer Queen
15. Brute
16. Ghengis Khan
17. Pit Viper
18. Renegade
19. Omega
20. Vanity
21. Death Knight
22. Mutant
23. Pulsar
24. Beast Rider

Stupid question?
How does this affect tagteam ability? For example, Overkill is above average in singles but may be the best tag wrestler in the entire history of the game.

Exactly! Not to mention the fact that the Invincible one actually held the GWF Title as many times as Warrior and Thantos for me in my first ever fed (well almost). Wolf was actually the guy who couldn't win the gold for me...but come on now, it's friggin Wolf. ~ :-Xsk |

So this will effect game play? Not at all, it's just another factor when the "full-sim" feature spits out results for you...if you choose to even use the full-sim feature.  I know I have fun playing General Manager in my Madden games, usually having a season in which I play and a season where I just sim everything and play the off-season modes. ~ :-Xsk |
