Ratings...who cares anymore?

Best response I've seen to this so far.

Gavin

It seems those that want ratings are at least putting
forward half-decent
suggestions. I think we are missing a big point though. What does
it matter
for those that play the Woodmen regularly to know that,
despite being 615'ed
out of the game, they played better than the average Woodie.

Its the

···

challenge such players want hence their choice of the position.
If randomly
allocated they must have at least suggested some level
of preference.
Therefore do ratings reall matter that much to players who
more often than
not never usually appear in the top 3 during or even at the end
of the game?

Its a game guys and those that play often know who's good to
be with. If you
don't the chances are you know someone you know does. Lets
just play, have
fun and banter and leave the real arguments and pointed-jibes
for the
taxman, where it belongs(apologies if you are a taxman).

Let Clint come up with something to begin with at least and then
we can
suggest changes from something instead of redesigning
without reference.
It'd be easier, not suggesting implementing from games, using
a sample case
study e.g. game xyz FP victory nats 1-10(results etc.) and
then letting
people see how it'd turn out. So, a bit of breathing space for
Clint and
then we can argue about it again when he says 'How about this?'.

Final note. Leave this to those that want ratings. For those of
us that
don't really care, perhaps we should just concentrate on
other debates.

Depends on if you've been paying attention. This response
basically said: "Everyone shut up until Clint does something,
then we have something to talk about." It obviously missed
the fact that we're talking about the Player Ratings that
have been proposed by Clint. Far from a chicken vs egg
question, I think.
