Your other comparisons are facile and irrelevant.
Gavin
Thank you for your valid opinion that something I
obviously thought was worth writing is irrelevant.
They were irrelevant to this discussion. You gave examples
of "unfairness" which had no relation to the subject and
which therefore did not advance nor support your argument.
Getting to the theatre on time and buying a new car are
completely different domains from a player rating system. Had
you used, for example, the ATP player rankings as your example,
then I would not have made my comment as you would have
been comparing like to like.
The player ratings have nothing to do with game
mechanics. If that was your point, maybe your
entire posts are totally irrelevant.
The player ratings will influence the game mechanics, directly
or indirectly, by influencing how games are set up and how they
are subsequently played.
