An Idea for Recognition / Honors

I’d like to propose a system that gives players recognition.

For example, on a weekly or monthly basis, highlight players who have completed the most tasks or earned the highest task scores, and feature them as “champions” on billboards or digital screens around the city.

Think of it like the Champion Banners in Apex Legends.Alternatively, there could be dedicated boards in specific spots where a player’s profile card is prominently displayed.

It might also be interesting to use weekly totals of RIP SCORE as a metric.The key point is to keep the span short (weekly, for instance), so that the recognition changes often.

This would be a nice homage to the old Skate games, where the goal was to get on the cover of a magazine—even though skate. doesn’t have a defined story mode. And even if ranked modes are still far off, this could serve as a clear goal and motivation for replayability.

Recognition could also vary by challenge category (Session, Line, Own the Spot) or by area (Hedgemont, Gullcrest Village, Market Mile).Titles like Hedgemont King, Hedgemont Mayor, or Hedgemont Celebrities could be fun ways to showcase top players.
