FAF Guinness Book of World Records

This is one of the best idea´s I ever heard, seriously.

Add "fastest to Ctrl + K yourself"

Foley/SC

Provided you are serious about this, you would need to add two conditions for this to have any point:

1- The player needs to win the game, which must be balanced.
2- Only maps in a pre-made map pool count.

The first one is there so people won't do stupid builds to win a challenge and then lose the game horribly. Also gives players the possibilty to team help while still having to worry about their own opponents.
Second one is to make this as fair as possible for all challengers.

I agree. I just wanted to start a fun idea to get our minds off the bugs and server issues, honestly.

I'm hoping others and I will form something concrete from an idea.

This is totally an incomplete thought!

This comes back to my insane plot to analyze all replays.

We make a tool to launch each replay and dump out what happens.

The stats get saved in faf db.

Then we can programatically find ...
The fastest monkey.
The ladder challenges ( win 3 games with jester)
Achievements (kill an experimental with overcharge)
The best setons build (most asf produced at min 10)
The best theta build (most tanks produced at min 8)
Which player has killed you the most
Who has sniped the most with beetles and why they should be banned
Team kills
Uses of exploits

Is such a thing feasible?

[nine2]

Yeah but you might need like 50 computers running FA fulltime to do it ... not sure.

If someone could tell me the how many hours of replays we have in a day that would be useful.

Maybe divided by ladder/ratedCustom/unratedCustom

Thanks

If this takes off that would be a nice long-term goal, Anihilnine.

For now we'll just have to take user submissions when they think they've completed the task.

Sheeo, Icedreamer, Exotic, etc (other dev people), you think we could make some avatars for this if we get something concrete?

[biass]

avatars

avatars can be made easily, uploading them, well maybe if you catch sheeo on but otherwise its as good as it is to upload a map right now

[Morax]

They seriously can't make it so that people can upload certain content to specified folders so it doesn't interfere with core functions?

Im no techie, ask them
