Personally I think these would be really cool. Apart from Top ranking players, I think there could be something like top longest running players, the richest players, top posters, etc. There could be a page inside the game and not in the login for people to see.

I think an issue here might be storage space.

I like the premise of this but I'd like to see a bit more thought go into it.

Something like a separate area of the game that list's say the top 100 hitters, Posters, Thread starters, Richest, Most high ranks achieved, most times in bold/slanty. Although it should only add dead accounts to the list so as to not give away any sensitive information about peoples accounts.

I like the thought of this idea. Prehaps place it on the stats page. Most threads started, most post, ect ect. The addition of nonsensitive information is a good idea!

Similar to a "hall of fame" I've seen in other games.

I like it though.

Just give them a simple yes/no toggle on the death screen on whether they'd like to enter their stats into the hallf of fame or not?

Not really as I believe 99% of people would say YES. It's only the odd one or 2 who would opt out and that's their bag if they dont want their name in pretty lights. :p

I think allowing non sensitive information to be publically available in a stats page while alive, would cause no problems.

Thigns such as Most Threads Started, Most Posts Made, Most Significant Threads Made, Most Significan Posts Made (Those that qualify you for the info boost) would all be ok while alive.

Every else sensitive, would be saved for when the person is dead. I agree with Countdown, have an option to allow it or deny it on death. (I believe this is what Injustice or MafiaMatrix did?)
