Zeldafreak007 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Just wanna know, because so many people bitch on about how "OMFG DAT PWN3D UR RANK LOLZOR". Since I don't know how to make polls, just do it this way. Ranked: 0 Unranked: 1 Edited December 11, 2008 by Red Fox of Fire Poll insertion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I prefer to play unranked, but I've ranked before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I was gonna rank before my data got deleted, but a lot of my playthroughs have been unranked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Changed by VASM :( Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ranked is REALLY boring, and takes the fun out of playing IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserPhoenix Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Tack another one on unranked, hard to get my link teams 20/20 if I am worrying about turns and everything else. ~KaiserPhoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Unranked. Ranked runs are boring, and take the fun out of playing IMO. Also, I suck at ranked runs. :( Admittedly, though, I don't even try. :P Edited December 11, 2008 by Fayt Raybrandt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Mostly unranked nowadays. I was never much good at ranked runs. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ranked, because it adds a little bit more challenge to the game. It'll require you to think more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Unranked. Ranked runs are boring, and take the fun out of playing IMO. I feel the exact opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 For me, ranks for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranked runs are boring, and take the fun out of playing IMO. Lawl. Because actually having to think makes the game less fun, right? I mean, I have SO much fun sitting there for 950 turns. Yes. Totally. Oh, wait. Edited December 11, 2008 by ZXValaRevan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Like I said in other threads, common sense is practically non-existene around here. Because you're totally right, Revan :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Like I said in other threads, common sense is practically non-existene around here.Because you're totally right, Revan :o Now that's just not right. Ranked runs being fun or not is 100% opinionated. Don't throw your "common sense" stuff at that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 That was more supposed to be a joke-ish comment anyway. I suppose we had a misunderstanding there Although I do agree that ranked runs are a lot more fun, since actually having to use your brain makes it a lot more fun automatically.

Forgive me, I take things literally unless it's very obviously a joke. It's not like you don't have to use your brain at all to beat it without ranks, ranks just requires more. I enjoy ranked runs as well, though not as much as unranked runs. I feel less restricted in unranked runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wist Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I tried a ranked run and I finished one star short of what I wanted. I would agree that it's potentially more interesting or intellectually stimulating to try for a ranked run, but it's also more stressful and I wouldn't agree that it's fun in the usual sense of the word. This analogy may not make sense for some people, but I visualize ranked vs unranked runs as equivalent to 1v1 ladder matches vs 2v2 or 3v3 BGH games in StarCraft. They both offer their own very different kinds of satisfaction depending on how patient or invested you are. After the misery of my failed ranked run, I haven't had the heart to try for another. As such I voted for unranked although I'd like to try another ranked run if I ever muster the motivation to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such I voted for unranked although I'd like to try another ranked run if I ever muster the motivation to do it. I disagree with the analogy, but hey. :P Comparing StarCraft and Fire Emblem is a hard task, so you did well in communicating something. The reason I prefer Ranked Runs is the same reason I prefer Hard modes. They're just more interesting. Unranked Runs basically mean that you can just sit and spend 200 turns on each chapter, which really requires virtually no thinking whatsoever. You don't really have to think about anything. Now, just in my anticipation of people's responses saying things like "Unranked Runs won't always be 200 turns per map", then that essentially means that you are going for a Ranked Run and just doing really poorly. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Wozzeck Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I don't go for ranked playthroughs at all; I just play the game to have fun and to watch stuff hit the fan at every plot twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irtikliwT Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Semiranked is the best. But as that's not an option I ended up going to unranked. Game does not provide anywhere near enough information with regards to ranking targets for it to be eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Rankings are nice to measure, but only at a superficial level. I don't pay much attention to them other than for a little zest to the ending credits of most of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
