Hello fellow runescape gamers

So the Skill Comp is gettin less and less popular, and thats quite the shame as it's an fun thing to do.
So im here to ask for you guys advise on how to make it better, and make it more attractive for everyone to join.

So idea people been pm'ing me:

*Being able to add multiple accounts (Account with highest experience will count, other acc's won't count.

*Higher rewards. Higher payouts. (Issue with this is Skill comp is sponsored by Donations from players, so higher rewards would mean more donations needed)

*Pvm (Kill specific bosses for kill count. Or Kill specfic bosses for most rare drops (Bandos boss like most bandos item drops etc).

*Not random skills, but voting system on skills. So skill with highest votes win (After a skill have won it will be removed and go throu all skills before reset on skills) Week 3 will continue to be Slayer and week 8 Overall.

*More than 2 weeks to get disqualified. Could be 4 weeks or so?


Please give me some feed back, either write it in here or PM/DM me.
If there are other idea you guys have let me know.

Instead of a voting system, let's have the winners (1st place winners of rs3 and osrs) of the previous week choose the skill in next week's skill competition. Once a skill is chosen, that skill is removed from said list until all skills have been chosen.

Another idea is instead of having Google sheets, that we move the skill comp over to temple. This will allow anyone to track anyone's and everyone's experiences and standings at any given point in time. (This would work for osrs for sure. Not sure about rs3)

I think engagement and interaction should be the primary basis for ideas - as long as people have a reason to be engaged with the skill comp, it will retain popularity and activity.

It might be cool to create an all time highscores for skill comp as well.

IE:

1. DarkRulerEd - 52 wins
2. Fohdraxxus - 39 wins
3. fromtheHeavens - 17 wins
4. M_A_T_T - 15 wins
5. bolshack123 - 12 wins
6. Technodancer - 12 wins
7. koalaofdoom - 11 wins
8. Camryona - 9 wins
9. Plaguefear - 5 wins

Must have at least 5 wins to be displayed or something like that

I see some OG's in this post.

I like the temple and highscores idea. It's been a pain to see where i'm currently standing at any given point. Maybe do a separate list for iron men since its really popular?

So how our clans skill of the week is ran is rng for non combat, and then includes prayer and overall. Each 5th week is slayer - DQ after 3 weeks of inactive sotw gains. First place gets 5 credits, 2nd place gets 3 credits, 3rd place gets 1 credit. And we do another 4-XX (XX being the total amount of participants who gained XP that week) for a 1 credit bonus. Top 3 cannot win, hence 4-x.

At a certain amount of credits, you can redeem to use them for bonds (through donations from our clan). This can be given to yourself or anyone else. Another use is to reroll the skill of the week - 5 credits - (first come first serve). Can only be done once per week and cannot be done on a slayer week. Another is pick the skill - 15 credits. You cannot pick again for 3 weeks or someone else has picked a skill.

Not necessarily suggesting it, but giving ideas that might stem from it. It’s fairly active within our clan.

Rewards given cannot be in game currency. Must be forum gold for the skill comp. There's a small chance of being flagged for RWT.

Oh? How is it rwt if it’s a competition in game and the reward is in game?

let the winners, or really anyone with a decent idea vote on the next week or a new form of competition / community involvement
3-4 week disqualify would be better, some weeks i just cbf with whatever skill it is
*tax the runescape trades 1% or something and throw it all towards the community competition!
i think even if it were built in and optional tax thru jsp most of us would contribute when we trade on jsp
