Hello all. Since ranked lists are a big part of the series my site is based on and is missing from my competitor sites, I've wanted to make a series of list that allow my players to view the strongest/best characters of each group.

I've made an incredibly rudimentary version of them with the Custom Pages feature and the "Display Post" option. You can see that here:

Problem is, it's butt ugly. I'd like to fix that, but I'm not sure the best way to go about doing that. Does anyone know a good way of accomplishing this? Thank you!

First thing - I really, really, really do appreciate you taking the time and effort to create this.

That said, with the extra thought this made me put into it, my own opinion has really surfaced. While it's a well thought out system - and

What I aim for is freedom and autonomy of the players. While the most obvious way to achieve that would be going hands-free, I still want to instill in players the same kind of progression I seek when I play RPGs. With how much staff involvement would be needed in this system, I just don't see it as conductive to that kind of player autonomy.

The other big thing that throws me off the idea is the concept of combat boiling down to... rock-paper-scissors, really. Sure, you still check their stats and people would use their strongest stat most of the time so it's not totally like that. Yet still, leaving it up to some element of randomness like that just doesn't sit well with me. The absolute last thing I'd want is to force players into anything, such as having to write out the outcome of an action they didn't necessarily choose.

While the current system doesn't leave a ton of room for weaker players to beat stronger ones, I think it's closer to my goal.  The other thing I think of with the suggested system is that it reminds me too much of how some other sites roll for abilities and combat.

I do think though that I will take some aspects of your idea into consideration: namely better rewards for fighting than just writing, a higher ceiling across the board, and perhaps even incentives for playing with objectively weaker Quirks. All in all:

Thank you.
