Gree would you consider creating a special unit that 1 member of every top 4000 faction would receive? Perhaps along the lines of A/D of 1/300. It could be an infantry unit of a soldier on crutches or a gurny.
Then award this unit to the person on each faction who took the most poundings. Perhaps there could be a cut off of a certain number of poundings to qualify 1k, 3k, 5k, 10k.
So who was the biggest shield of fresh for China? ours was 7401 lashes, there must be a higher.
