Proposed: Off-world site to rank non-payers. Feasibility and ideas?

[DeletedUser627]

Is it possible to set up a public Google sheets to rank non-paying players?

I imagine we'd have to publicize it ourselves by messaging archmages?

Two classifications: Total non-pay (builders allowed), and non-premium buildings (expansions and builders allowed)

I'd very much like to be able to give credit where credit is due, and encourage everyone to keep playing. What are the technical challenges involved? Would it be possible to open it for individual players to update once weekly or would it require designated data entry players?

I think this is a great idea. I know Inno only wants diamond players, but I do think it is important that free players stick around too. If we have a ranking thread for the free players they might feel some sort of accomplishment that they won't feel from the regular ranking list.

I don't see why it has to be off world. We used to have a thread going here that ranked everyone.

I think it sounds like a lot of work to keep your proposed spreadsheet up to date, but I agree players who play very few Diamonds deserve recognition. I know a handful of these players. They're true Elvenar Wizards! I try to emulate them as best I can, playing as few Diamonds as possible, but I don't come close to their expertise.
Google Sheets works beautifully and can have read/ write permissions set by the creator of the spreadsheet.
