Quotas For Each Ranks *Rejected*

[qeee1]

A bit Pedronicus... but that's just a small problem, in terms of the whole scoreboard, at least as far as I can see, but I don't play that much doubles so I might be wrong...

I disagree with Scud that ranks should be taken for only a certain number of games. As far as I can see a player's skill will ultimately determine their rank as the number of games tends towards infinity.

Eg. A player who wins 1/6 of their 6 player games against average players (score around 1000) will level out at 1000.

A player who's good enough to win 1/2 of their six player games against average players can expect to level out around 2236.

And assuming that players remain at this level of skill they'll remain roughly around that score, dipping above and below it.

... So ultimately your skill determines your rank, so new players have just as much chance of being on top if they are as skilled, once they've played enough games, (enough being less than 50 anyway).

another thing id like to see in the scoreboard is an ability to select the flag of your country in your settings to see whos the highest ranked member of a country

(and i dont want a union jack, - St. George & St. Andrew cross flags for us english and scottish players)

A little falg or soemthing would be pretty sweet maybe we could put in clan logo in addition to some kind of personalized flag?

The countries thing sounds like a lot of work. The clan thing sounds... meh... I suppose you could do it, but... doesn't bother me, and I kinda prefer a clean crisp scoreboard, not messed up by all these crappy looking small images.

Totally agreed, qeee.

In Elite Core post, you see the guys talking: "Lost Captain / Lieutenant status", "Recovered it", "Lost again", "Recovered again"... When number of games grows, you are always where your skill allow. Im now usually at 1940 - 1970 points, sometimes I get a good streak and go over 2000, sometimes I get a bad streak and go under 1900... But I mantain my score near that... With a really really great number of games a player (like wacicha) can have more variations, taking more wins or defeats at a time... He went under 1400 (as now), but hes always back to 1700 points, if Im right. Once I saw he posting he got and lost major status almost 20 times.

About some points you get from players without partners, etc... well, when you are on the top, and have a top partner... they give you 5 points in a game, so I believe its not significative. At same way, its not significative some unpredictable events that ruin a strategy, like cursed dice in the extremely wrong hour (for example, when you are using 8 armies against the last 3 armies of a guy with 5 cards in a escalating game). Sometimes these things occur against you, sometimes at your favor.
