    was thinking of setting up a league here on boards for xbox achievements. it could run from month to month to see who gets the most gamer points each month. what do you guys think?

    Perhaps incorporate a weighted average system for games? Maybe x.5 for King Kong and x2 for Super Meat Boy, or something similar?

    Set up a private leaderboard on trueachievements.com?

    They rate 200/200 on Super Meat Boy as 424 in true gamer score.
    Games like Avatar are kept at 1000.

    We could use True Achievements? They weight achievements by home many people have it (out of the amount of people who have the game) e.g. Seriously 2.0 from GoW2 is a 50 point achievement, but worth 201 TA points while Score on a breakaway (Amateur) from NHL 2K6 which is also worth 50 points, is only worth 52 TA.

    Edit: Mr E got there before me.

    Ah TA for the win , knew about leaderboards there, but never realised we could set up a private one. Very fair system. Depressing though to see my TA score for lego star wars 3 clone wars plummet as more people play it , it was worth 4k when I finished it, now it's just over 2000 :(

    This will give me the motivation I need to finally crack 100k gs and 5000 achievements won :D

    Good job , add me gt: Calex dEUS

    It would make things easier on you if you set the leaderboard access type to request instead of private.

    Requested access just now, I tend to go through spells of playing a lot and others of not playing much at all so might not always be very active. GT is dor83.

    was thinking about prizes but its probably too hard to organise. ie who pays for the prize, getting the actual prize to the winner etc. but there is a bonus prize for you if you do well this month raze, we will post you a copy of medal of honor :P

    I think you forgot to set the competition type to monthly on the leaderboard?

    Wouldn't be much of a competition if I have a 100k head start would it :D

    you don't. For example if it was me this month I'd put up 3 of the games I ownb, let members vote on which is the prize and i post it to the winner)(games cost 1.05euro to post or there abouts)

    Not that difficult, depending on numbers, per monthly period we could charge a flat one off fee, lodge it into an a/c, do a poll on what game the members want, month ending fire it off to the winner. It's only 1.50 for postage anywhere in Ireland, and with 10 people at a fiver a month,that's your game and postage sorted!

    based on his current one. Take note of all gs before comp starts then you take it away from the end of the month.
