What is good play ?

This is liable to lead to one of two conclusions: players
deciding that it isn't worth the hassle and therefore not
playing, or a polarisation between games involving "rated"
players and non-rated games. The first leads to a lower player
base. The second leads to longer times for games to fill up
(and maybe defections there, too, as people get bored waiting).

Is this really the aim of the proposed system?

*** You missed the 3rd option of opting out. We already
have polarised
games - Grudge and non-Grudge games. It's not destroyed the game
- if
anything enhanced it.

So, you're looking to set up:

Rated grudge games, non-rated grudge games, rated "normal"
games, non-rated "normal" games, opt-out games...?

Nothing like the easy life, eh, Clint? :slight_smile:

Not the case. I think you have mis-read me. At present all games will be rated, you have the option as a player of not having your rating published.
