Ya, I thought about having two sections, but came to the same conclusion that you did. Both would end up losing something.

I just think that this list is limited and skewed. I don't believe that many newer and lower level players will have much incentive to add themselves to this particular list. Try to keep a few things in mind. This started as a level 50 thing, so the vast majority of the people that have commented are level 50s. Also, I would wager that a lot of newer and lower level players are intimidated by players that have reached level 50, because it sometimes seems like it will take forever to get there.

The way I see it is that this list can become one of two things. It can be a place for power players to try to show off how much "better" their village is. Or, it can be a tool used to try to bring as many players as possible to come and add themselves, compare themselves with like-minded people, and everyone will probably learn things about the game.

I hope that it will eventually help the average player become a better player, regardless of what they want out of the game.

I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too big, or anticipating something that won't happen. It's just that this game is relatively young, I think around 10 months, and this wiki is therefore fairly young. What is being hashed out here does at least have the potential to have a big influence on how this community grows, and potentially the game as well. I just think it needs to be handled with care.

Ok, sorry, I will stop rambling now (while stepping off of the soapbox), it really should be the community that decides. So far it seems that I am somewhat alone in my views. I'll leave this topic alone for a while and see what comes out of it.
