Combat Ranking Seasons: Please show us when they end

Iocun

A combat ranking season lasts three real life months. They seem to be synced to RL months too, ending at the end of March, June, September, December, which should be easy enough to remember. Problem is: that's written nowhere in the help files, so when someone not used to this enters the combat rankings, he'll have no clue when the current season ends. He could dig through announce news until he finds when the post in which the winners of the last season were announced, but those posts aren't usually titled clearly, and sometimes the ranking winners are just attached to the bottom of an announce post about totally different things, so finding them isn't easy.

I therefore suggest to either write the IC date on which the current season ends on top of the RANKINGS COMBAT summary, or, at the very least, to write in HELP COMBAT RANKINGS that the seasons end at the last of March/June/September/December, if that's actually the case.

Agreed on this, I'll get it added shortly, since I've got a few other help files to tweak!

@Thaumas: Oh the shame... oh the horrible, horrible shame...

13.11 COMBAT RATINGS AND RANKINGS

(See Also: HELP ARENA, HELP RANKINGS)

Achaea has a system of ranking adventurer vs. adventurer combatants. You are

not, however, automatically in the system. You must first reach level 30, and

then type JOIN COMBAT RANKINGS, to be put in the system. The rankings reset

every season or three months, and whoever is at #1 at the end of the season

will get an honours line indicating their victory. Along with this the top

three combatants will receive credit prizes.

SEASON DATES

------------

1 January - 31 March

1 April   - 30 June

1 July    - 30 September

1 October - 31 December

Thanks Tecton!
