    Monthly LeaderBoard - Suggestion Poll and Discussion

    In fusion there should be 2 active Global LeaderBoards.

    A permanent ongoing Leaderboard (What we have now)
    A Monthly Leaderboard

    The monthly leaderboard will give out some kind of digital prize (Medals and or a monthly leaderboard stat page where you can see where you and others placed each month and how much you improved)

    Pros:
    A Monthly leaderboard will add a new dynamic to the standard trials leaderboard, a sense of urgency. Because it is under a time limit, people will have to carefully portion out how much time they are willing to put into any given track/tournament. Whereas in the permanent leaderboard people can (and do) spend days/weeks trying to improve a single run.

    People dont have to pick which leaderboard they are competing in, they will always be passively submitting times to both, so people can simply ignore the monthly if they so choose.

    Because of the reset at the end of the month, Only active players will be competing, making it easier to reach a higher position in the leaderboards.


    Cons:
    This will increase the number of glitched/hacked times especially near the end of the month that will have to be dealt with in order to maintain the integrity of the leaderboard.

    Im not sure what it takes for redlynx to store everyones replays for every track as it is, so that could become a problem when you have to multiply that for every new monthly leaderboard. (unless they only retain the current monthly leaderboard/top 100-1000 players, or have other means to detect that the time isnt legitimate, making the need for monthly replays unnecessary ).

    This actually sounds like a good idea, but however it'll be pretty difficult with cross platforms and all that.

    Great idea but there should also be a weekly LB!

    + Track central leaderboard (only for the redlynx picks or something like that)
    And Bikes leaderboard, and why not a ninja leaderboard (only nice ninja tracks of course, not a checkpoint or a track made in 5min...).

    Weekly leaderboards are too frequent to have any serious competition, especially later on in the games life.

    And a Ninja Leaderboard would be to hard to control and define, not to mention only a very small portion of people have the patience to complete 1 let alone several ninja tracks, that having a whole leaderboard dedicated to it in game would be a bit of a joke. That is something i think best to leave up to some community run website.
