Contest Ranking - New System & Automated

Yes!

The contest ranking / medal tally / leaderboard is now fully automated.

At the same time the suggestions in this thread were implemented. This means that many people were put back a few ranks, but at least now you have something to look forward to again :lms::dms::cms:

It also means that you can always find a current leaderboard and medal tally at the second post in this thread.

It also means that new winners will recieve their medal and rank much sooner, with at most a day delay after the contest was registered. Regardless of whether I have time or not.

The coolest thing IMHO is that there is now a moving goal to work towards: Orjan is our current Champion of Light, while darkcatalyst is - fittingly - Champion of Darkness. Congrats!

Let's celebrate! :armadillo:

(btw, the Ruby script to do all this (read post from DB, parse, generate tallys, update db) is 110 lines long, with a few debug statements))

I just came back from holiday - I got some cool christmas presents but this one is the best! :D :D :D :D

Although now I have to play more to get rid of this silver medal :lol: Gold is much shinier.

The Champion of Light icon looks absolutely awesome btw. PS: and so does the design one! The Dark Champion one looks pretty cool too; not as cool as the light one though :P

PPS: This is (as far as I know) the finalised ranking system, for ease of reference:

1-2 Medals : Contest Winner Image
3-5 Medals : Contest Veteran Image
6-9 Medals : Contest Legend Image
10+ Medals : Armadillo Lord Image

15+ Light Medals : Light Master

10+ Dark Medals : Dark Master

15+ Light and 10+ Dark Medals : Armadeus

Most light medals : Light Champion Image
Most dark medals : Dark Champion Image


PPPS: SHould we have a 'Design Champion'?

Just checking, is 10+ medals supposed to be 'Armadillo Lord' or 'Contest Lord'?

Because Armadillo Lord sounds cooler :D

First, a member of the 'Great Armadillo Council of the Lazy' needs to enter your name in the tribal annals.

Noone knows what happens after that since we're so lazy :P

j/k - I'll put your name in the list now.
