i think this is a good idea, except the way sourcejump does it sucks ass so we shouldnt do it that way,

i like the weighted point system that servers have used but i think all maps (validated/verified) maps should count towards the total instead of just the most valuable 100 or so

map tier should obviously be the main value for the system but i think rbhops point system (1 point is split between every person on the map in that style, and higher ranks get larger portions) is a good way of adding onto it, for example maybe the tier is the base value and your position on the map in that style is the added/removed value,of course this needs to be tuned so that its fair and maps with 1 completion dont award TOO many points, or maps with thousands dont reward too little

if need be as a temporary measure we can just yoink sj's system or use the system css servers already use as a starting point

Removing this from the release project since this is a larger project that we do not need on release, would be nice but we should find someone whos willing to come up with all the systems for it, i just hope its not extremely cancer to manage database wise....

me and tommy had a conversation a few weeks ago where we both kinda came to the agreement that roblox's method of points was probably the best variation we have right now that is fair/fit for this

tldr of it is, each map has 1 point to give out between every unique player in a style, the higher you are the more of that point you get with the wr gaining a larger portion than it would normally

obviously a downside to this is that styles (aonly/wonly/hsw/scroll) which have drastically smaller playerbases, would have points skewed extremely in their favor if the points contributed to a overall point value, roblox fixes this by just not having that, and personally i think thats the way to go

obviously theres the issue of the css map pool being infinitely large and people can just spam out times/completions on random maps that were just made to inflate their points, so there needs to be a validated list of maps that are approved to give points, or a hard cap on the number of unique times needed for the map to give points

having a list of maps seems like the best option to me, it keeps duplicate maps out of the pool (such as arcane_v2 and arcane_v3) and giving people more reason to compete on those maps specifically, we can also push a sort of standard of maps this way, such as not making alot of the shitty roblox ports worth points (fibzy 👁️), however i want the map list to be mostly community handled, if people really want bfur to be included then it should be included, obviously low quality and joke maps can be exceptions but more iconic maps should be included, even if they arent necessarily of high enough quality
