Well, it took me some minutes to think of a structure for the damage contest, but I did it.
http://royalwarrior.ath.cx/dmg/ (quickly made a table in MS Word)
This is just a plain, rough example how I would order all the players' damages in. Any suggestion, rate or anything is welcome.
After I get an imagination of what you think I might get to work and make a website for this, which a lot of players would like.
Edit: Just forgot to say. As you see European part is easy to make, but Chinese is a little bit difficult to make... so I'd need suggestion on especially that part.

IMO it's a bit useless to make a whole site just for those tables DJ has in his topic =/

I know he has it, but I believe it's really messy and hard to edit. That's why I came up with the idea.

True, but still...A whole site for 14 (soon 16) tables?

the site could have a forum to go along with the 14 (soon 16) tables.
and maybe a lil vid\pic section?

Let me show what I've meant...
http://royalwarrior.ath.cx/dmg/dmg.txtYou will probably see that with all the tags it would take a longer time to find someone in the code, it's image-based which makes it just more difficult to find someone.
A forum wouldn't be necessary. But, the site could be just added to these forums. It could be accessed via
http://silkroadforums.com/damage/ for example.

I don't know why we would need a forum if there is already one (you're looking at it right now).

I would add it, but I know what it could do... I've seen a tracker going down because of a familiar situation, later 2 of them opened (the 2 sides that argued). And it would split the community into two pieces. I rather see a sub forum here than a stand alone forum.

I've considered creating one myself, but I think anything that's not integrated right into SRF will end up as a failure.
The only problems I see with DJ's version is that because it requires creating images for every entry he's too busy to update it frequently, and I feel it should be broken up by degree, not level.
I also think that maybe the high dmg contest could be passed along to a mod rather than asking DJ to update it all the time. He's been doing it now for like a year and a half. I'm sure he has better things to do. If mods were to take over, they could probably share the job between a few of them. More frequent updates would probably generate more interest in it. Participation has been pretty stagnant, honestly. There's a lot of posts, but not a lot of entries. LESS TALK, MORE ROCK!

Getting this up. So far the replies are pretty positive. Also, I'll separate Europeans into weapon categories also (for example dagger/crossbow etc.).
I'd appreciate suggestions for the Chinese race which is more difficult to sort.
