I was not a fan of this system, but since Clint has gone to the trouble of
creating it and circulating the results anyway, might as well see how I
compare with the rest of the Middle-earth gaming community. So here are my
results for all to see.
C'mon guys (and gals?), show us what you got 
Richard.

Subject: Middle Earth Player Rating System
Dear RICHARD,
Below you will find your various ratings for the Player Rating System.
It's all intended as a bit of fun. You can find a detailed explanation of
the following, and some additional ratings for you and other players on the
website:
The various ratings are:
Valar - this is based on similar ratings found in other games such as
chess. The quality of both teams is taken into account, as is the split of
the neutrals. Your Rating is 1623
Maia - designed to be like experience points. This will show how much
experience you have at playing Middle-earth. It gives more points for
winning than for losing, it also gives more points if you play with other
more experienced players. Your Rating is 1981
Istari - individual success, based on ability to score well for a
particular nation relative to how that nation is normally scored at the end
of the game (without victory conditions). In addition we'll have an overall
rating - ie how you have scored relative to other players as an overall
total. Your overall rating is: 1998.
Ainur - a rating for Grudge teams. This rewards Grudge teams who win
without losing too many nations along the way. Your team's rating, where
you are a member of the Grudge is to be found on the website. Feel free to
name your teams (get the TC to get in touch).
Council of the Wise - a player voting system. At the end of the game
players vote for their team-mates as per the form you have received over the
last year.
Best team player votes: 2
Best individual player votes: 2
Best enemy player votes: 0Nazgul - a rating of experience combined with Winning percentage. Win
ratio is 85.71%
Not all your ratings are published. If you have a lower rating than the
top 2 pages worth of players then you're rating is not publicly published.
Feel free to publish your rating on the list if you want...
In future we'll get more details sent to you monthly (middle of the
month). If you don't want your ratings published, then get in touch and
we'll remove you from this list and the public list. Any other feedback is
welcome.
(These ratings will be somewhat inaccurate as we had to construct them
from imperfect data, but over time they will become more accurate).
Thanks
Clint
