I would like to announce that as of this post, I'll be ranking people based on my unofficial, side-scoring, as detailed above. I'll post the first results on Sunday. (btw everyone gets 1 point if Radamanthos joins the game)
[disclaimer: i haven't actually used that site ever i just found it by a v quick google search n it seems to be suitable for this]

I agree, it would take forever and no one wants to do that.
That's why I think sectioning it off into a competition would help. Change it to where only wins against certain players count and that way I'm not comparing a bunch of screenshots of people playing against all sorts of random players and only the people who actually care about the ranking will be included.

I doubt anyone would be willing to post all of their losses.

What more style is there?

there need to be points for Style

2 points if you win a game (an extra 2 if you're red) -1 points each loss -3 points if you kiss someone, f*ck you 3 points if you win by trapping your opponent 4 points if you win by trapping your opponent inside your snake -2 points for cheesing -5 points for saying "lag" 6 points if you can split the screen in two (though with your -1 for losing you'll only get 5 of those) 99 points (otherwise called the Sansruse award) if you beat Battle Snakes itself
My idea would be: (n+1) points if you win a game, with n the amount of players, -1 points if you lose a game, then the winner submits it to a google doc (with proof) where there's an overview of players and their current score
If there's gonna be a competition like in main, please count me in and add me.

Can we knock people off the list everytime they complain about lag?

BATTLESNAKES THREAD CHANGES
I'm trying to find a new way to do this thread to make it a bit more accurate.
One way suggested to do this is to make more of a council of people to go over the rank charts so it's less my opinion and more of a collective discussion. With this things would stay close to how they are now with how things are run - keep track of your wins and we'll try to put together an accurate ranking.
Personally I think in order for this to work everyone has to turn in all their wins and loses so that an accurate rank can be given.
Another way is to completely change the battlesnakes thread and have it run closer to how main lobby runs competition rounds. We could have tournament sign ups, create a player list, and then have people solely keep track of their wins against other players. With this way we could have a scoring system, 1 point for every competitor you beat in a game + a bonus for where they are currently on the leader board to you +a bonus for how long your snake is. Then after some time we can reset the players/points and start over. One problem with this is there are really only a handful of people that play battlesnakes on a regular basis but I wouldn't mind running this if we had at least ~8 people interested.
Anyone have any suggestions, comments, questions? And let me know if you'd be interested in joining a snakes competition!
