Introducing ELO seasons / A backstory for new map

Hey.
​

Just kidding, sup zombies. So basically the this is a thread about introducing ELO seasons and elaborating a bit more on it. I have heard talks of people wanting it and it was supposed to get added but nothing really has been brought up and no one has talked about how it works but it's a very cool concept that could work and make people grind for ELO. There is a HUGE problem right now with ELO, although it's fine, it's super inflated. There is a huge amount of people with Legend and eventually, everyone starts getting 20-25 ELO per kill if you're below a Citizen which is insane. It can bring you up so quick and even if you're in leather you can lose up to 10 ELO which is not how it should be. This is the current ELO leaderboard:


This is currently top 15, out of those accounts, 10-11 accounts still play. Everyone doesn't log into the account because they don't want to lose their ELO which is a beta move. But now let's put ELO seasons into the equation. This is top 3 currently as I'm writting this:

• 1st place: First place gets a rank (ELITE?) for the next upcoming season and the golden helmet for 1 month. Now the duration of the season could be 2 months or 3 months, depends on how often people want ELO reset but I think this is fit and the prizes are fine for first because if you're first, you clearly did something right. Now of course they are going to be checked if it was boosted or not. Just throwing it out there, boosting will probably get you banned and ELO reset so it's not going to work. They can easily tell.
• 2nd place: So with second place, they can get the season MVP or a month of ELITE and maybe a tag? The tag could indicate the season and place. A trophy? And it could say 2nd with a different color and they have it for the remainder of the season until next one. There could also be variants of the tag so they can keep it forever to indicate that they got second place in that season.
• 3rd place: Same thing as second but maybe give them MVP for half the season or a month of ELITE? I think 2nd and 3rd place are deserving of GOOD prizes because those places aren't easy to accomplish and even though third usually would get VIP or something like that, I feel as if a better prize is needed since they won above the rest of the community.

Now moving onto some issues that we may run into, you can only win ONCE. It doesn't matter if top 10 is full of one person, they only get one prize. So if top 3 is the same person, it moves to 4th place for the second prize. This is to stop people from alting continuously to try and get all the prizes. I also mentioned the boosting issue, and like I said you'll be caught by no one else than @Ritzy if you do so I'd suggest not to do it...

Now finding a way to introduce this: I remember talking about expanding the new Militia periodically until it's big enough. Now hear me out, Militia is supposed to be a military base so with that being said, it'll expand until the project is done, little by little. When the project is done, it can mean that the military personnel found something suspicious in another country and that's when the new map gets introduced. During this expansion, ELO seasons get introduced, afterwards actual seasons get introduced. There's a lot of flexibility with this backstory. Along with the constant map updates, you're introducing new content for people and refreshes the game a bit.

Besides the SINGLE ELO seasons, I've also read about team ELO which is very interesting but it something more difficult to touch upon but seems to have caught many people's eyes. But that's for another thread This is still an early idea that we can work with but it's just a start. I already made a thread about regular Seasons and you can find it here. Any feedback is welcomed.
