Council of the Wise

Last Draft of Council rating - please get back to me if you feel it needs
amending?

Council of the Wise

I think it needs at least one more rework. It is only 3 times as complicated as it started. Surely we can make it a full order of magnitude more difficult to use or understand than the original proposal. Come on guys, let's have one more big push of "hey, why not"s.

Lost me completely on the ratings a very long time ago. I was one of the first and most vocal advocates for a PRS, but what you've come up with is screeds of formula which are incomprehensible and boring. That's why you've lost my "feedback" and I suspect that's true now for many others.

The Council rating, as far as I understand it looks like something assured to put people off voting. Just have a little form where people can nominate the best players.

I followed the critique of your Nazgul rating, where someone pointed out that a chap who wins 98 out of 100 games gets a 50 rating. You need to subtract the number of games lost, rather then divide by them, and for goodness sake, PLEASE spend some time presenting the suggestions more clearly. Your actual proposal here was quite simple, but I had to read it 3 times - you'd made a simple sum look like advanced algebra.
