Alright, had a quick Mumble meeting with Jedi. Apparently I didn't follow all his thoughts in this thread, because they made more sense on Mumble. He asked me to condense in a way that was as clear as possible:
- Platinum replaces Diamond
- Diamond would become an achievement unlocked for any Platinum pilot that met the Diamond requirements (Skill rating + gold dominance). No challenge required (they did the Platinum challenge), just a Platinum that becomes Gold dominant; this would allow someone to still achieve the same goal as Mark or Jedi. Mark & Jedi would immediately be in the Platinum tier with the Diamond Achievement.
- Platinum challenge triggered the same way the Gold and below challenges are triggered
Undecided: The Platinum challenge itself. I proposed that it be identical to the others challenges (Agree or random roll), but Jedi seemed to think 2 core rolls + 1 extended core roll would be good.
That seems like a very interesting idea. I don't think a lot of people could make Platinum (it's possible nobody or only 1 person) but there would likely be a number of Platinum promotion challenges which would make for great special Obs events for me and Roncli to feast on
