Okay, guys, I've got a new idea for the site. How about any time someone responds to a post you make in the forums, you get an email about it? Because I had no idea anyone had read this or said anything XD And I don't think I changed any settings related to the forums.

Back to topic, what I'm looking for is some kind of quantification of overall speedrunning success, because "who's the most accomplished speedrunner of all time/right now" is an interesting subject. I want some way to compare between TGH, Vallu and Werster. And a hundred other people. And I'm sure "how many people you're ahead of" isn't accurate. Frankly, I don't care if it isn't especially accurate, I'm fine with this stat being nothing more than a reference point. I think it would be interesting to have.

I'd like to see a stat on all runners' profiles (no idea what it would be called; rank score?) calculated by adding how many people they're ahead of on all leaderboards.

For example if you have 1 run in 1 category of 1 game, and that run is faster than 100 other people's time, you get a score of 100. And if you're ahead of 10 people in another category that's an additional 10.

I see this as a way to encourage people to run a wider variety of games and categories. Getting decent times in multiple popular games would take less time than getting really good times in just one game, and would be worth more rank score point coin things.

This is also one way to help quantify success in speedrunning as a whole. If someone has top 50 times in the 10 most popular games, that's INSANE. But I'll never know unless I comb through every leaderboard. Of course, I suppose I'm also asking for the ability to browse runners by rank score stat thing.

Speedrunner Score? Speedrun Points? SRC Score?
