Syntax:  Rankings <category> (<clan>) (<period>)
         Myrank (<player>) (<type>) (<period>)
         Metarank (<type>) (<period>)

The Aardwolf rankings system keeps track of various player data and lists
the top players in several categories listed below.

There are several ways to limit rankings data.  If you include a clan name,
only players from the specified clan will be displayed.  You may also see
rankings broken down for several tracked periods of time (daily, weekly,
monthly, or yearly) by including the time period.  You may also use the
shortcuts '-d', '-w', etc., or the alternate commands 'drank <rank#>',
'wrank <rank#>', etc. to access this information.

For example, 'rank 1 -m outcast', 'rank 1 monthly outcast', and 'mrank 1
outcast' will all show the monthly ranking for total levels gained by all
players in the Outcast Clan of Shame.

At the end of each ranking period, the overall results for that period are
posted to the Rankings forum. A shorter version of the top rankings for a
specific period is available via 'toprank <period>' (see 'help toprank').

You can type 'myrank' to see your position on every ranking and 'myrank
all' to see your position for all ranking periods.  To see your position
and the totals of those around you on a specific ranking, type 'myrank
<rank#>' or 'myrank <rank#> <period>'. You can also view the ranking
positions of other players using the syntax 'myrank <player>' and 'myrank
<player> <rank#>'.

Each rank category has a minimum requirement before you will appear on the
list.  Your character must meet the minimum to appear on the periodic rank
listings, but may have lower values than that minimum.

1. Level        - Total level (201 or higher).
2. Quest Points - Total qp earned (3000qp minimum).
3. Mobs killed  - Most mobs killed (5000 mobs minimum).
4. Deaths       - Number of deaths (20 minimum).
5. Gquests won  - Number of global quest wins (at least 5).
6. Quests       - Total number of quests completed. You must have at least
                  100 quests completed to appear on this ranking.
7. QP/Level     - Ratio of total QP earned to total levels.  You must be at
                  least level 50 and have earned 2500 quest points to
                  appear on this ranking.
8. Levels/Deaths- Measures a player's ability to avoid death by showing
                  on average, how many levels a player gains between
                  deaths. A player with 0 deaths will show as 'N/A' at
                  the top of the rankings and for players with the same
                  amount of deaths per level, total levels takes
                  precedence. You must be above level 201 to appear on
                  this ranking.
9. Wars won     - Total number of warfare wins (min 5).
10.War kills    - Total number of warfare kills (min 10).
11.Combat Maze  - Number of combat maze victories (min 5).
12.Laser Team   - Number of lasertag team wins (min 3).
13.Laser Score  - Total lasertag score (min 500 points).
14.Laser Top    - Times a player has had top lasertag score (min twice).
15.Explored     - Number of rooms explored (at least 8410 - 25% of MUD
                  at time of writing)
16.Pups-Total   - Most total powerups across all classes/tiers since V2
                  powerup tracking began (23 Nov 2001)).
17.Pups-Current - Most powerups for current remort (min 1).
18.Campaign     - Most campaigns completed (min 25 total).
19.Duels won    - Most duel wins (minimum 5).

There may sometimes be slight discrepancies between listed order and proper
order in some rankings; though the data is updated instantly, the ranking
lists are only sorted approximately once per hour.

The 'metarank' command shows the highest daily, weekly, monthly and yearly
totals for each ranking since daily tracking began. For example, to see
the highest weekly qp amount, you would use:

   metarank 2 weekly
