Who here is a Vet?

[Calahan]

Thanks for the feedback and ideas AreaOfEffect. I can certainly see the benefits of asking each person to list a few of their talents and skills, and then pooling that data together in the first post (to allow updating)

Although not sure if that approach will work with everything though. Things like Modding Skill and Dom Knowledge should be fine, but if a system existed where all you had to do to be considered a 'vet' (or good rusher, turtler, nation manager, late-game player, call it what you will) was to say "Hello, my name is Paul, and I'm a Vet" then I can quickly see problems appearing.

The one thing I really want to avoid is to have constant questions raised, either on the public forum, or via private PM, about who should be called a vet. The one thing that would derail this project is posts or PM's like "ZXY said he's a vet so you put him on the list. Why? Surely you know he's rubbish". And the best way I can think of at present to avoid this happening is to have a voting system where a large percentage of players would have to agree with a persons 'vet' status before he/she became one. Although I'm certainly open to suggestions if anyone can think of other ways this scenario can be avoid.

But please keep the thoughts and ideas coming everyone. All very much appreciated. Real Life work pressures and commitments mean I'm a good week or two away from even thinking about this project yet, so the more ideas I have to work with when the time comes, the better the outcome will be (hopefully )
