good thing about team wushu ranking system is that it's mostly objective and you can evaluate your tier (level) pretty easy

the only painfull thing is tier 1 wushu forethought requirement which is kinda complicated concept to explain for people outside of improv wushu. it makes a difference between good player and legend. i'm tier 3 for example and i play wushu for years.
I'm a bit gone from in-game nowadays but I do check forums, feel free to add me up there. Also, you may want to include other languages that helpers can speak, in case some of the newbies aren't that good with english.
