A New Rating System

fax · December 18, 2008, 7:48pm

"One" as the answer to the question "Who is 'you'..?" doesn't help... But in the absense of actual information, all we can discuss is column headings on a New Age 2009 Player Stats Sheet

Name
Alias (? - forum ID, mentioned by Laurence, I don't like Contact INFO here...)
Started (in mm/yy format)
# Games In (as in Now)
Games Won
Games Lost
Games Dropped
Nazgul
Valar
Maia
Istari
Best Individual Player
Best Team Player
Best Enemy Player
VP Avg +/-
Last Active (last game end date if not currently in a game).

** VP Avg +/- I'm at a loss for terminology at the moment. What I mean the players average VP difference from the mean of the nation he's playing per game. I simply don't see the value in Total or Average VP's, it's as skewed as the Noldo compared to the Woodmen . So, if Woodie avg is 600 and I score 750, my +/- that game is +150. Next game, my Noldo scores 900 and the Avg Noldo is 1000 - I'm scored -110 and my "VP Avg +/-" is now 25 or (150-100)/2 games.

If the sortability per column is possible, a single web page showing comparative information side by side is what we can look at, instead of having to click through the current 2 pages each per 7 ratings (14 pages..!). And, we presume, all players are listed.

You = One in this context. I'd suggest that should any amendments to
the PRS system that we, the company, will update and support would be
from now on rather than retroactive.

If Brad, or anyone else was able to come forward create the Excel
sheet etc then that would be very useful and appreciated.

I'd suggest that before that a discussion about changes to be added
be made public on here and the forum. List of what is proposed and so on.

Hope that's clearer and apologies for any confusion.

You say "I suggest that you", keyword being "you". Are you offering
your opinion on what the "company" should do? You speak for the
company, so that doesn't make sense. Are you referring to Me or
Laurence? I'd be able to work on various processes via excel, maybe
work towards an access database as a developmental model...but I
don't see any private mails in my inbox containing lists or data, etc...

I'd suggest that you start from today and then take it forward from
then if this was to be implemented. We can add it to the PRS stuff
that is already there. As mentioned before, take what you want from
the PRS and leave the rest if it's not to your own personal taste.
