Heart Levels Options

[Peter]

So I was doing a little thinking, and wondering if it would be insanely challenging to change the ranking system that currently exists on the forums today? Right now, we use a five star rating system to rate the people who post on the forums.

Would it be challenging to change this to the heart system that Harvest Moon uses in their franchises?

Black - No Rating
Blue/Purple - 1 Star
Green - 2 Stars
Yellow - 3 Stars
Orange - 4 Stars
Red - 5 Stars

Just an idea that I had while browsing the site. :)

The cool thing about ideas is that they can be modified after thought and feedback.

So we bump the heart colors down a notch (since blue and purple are separate hearts in the game) and make it so that the maximum heart level is orange. This is usually good friends or close fondness of a person, but not to the point where you want to marry them.

I personally think it is incorrect to associate the heart levels with dating as it is used for everything in the game: animals, neighbors, etc. They don't always use colors (in MM they just used up to ten red hearts).

However, this whole idea couldn't work for the point that Charmy and Daniella made: it is a public system. It isn't fair that Charmy would be a yellow heart to everyone just because some people voted her down. It would have to be a separate system from the ranking system.

I do like the power berry idea a lot more though.
