It would depend on who those people have played, the circumstances, etc... It wouldn't really mean much, in other words.

Of course it would mean something. If you are ranked at level 5 then you have consistantly beaten players at levels 1, 2, 3 and 4. Now that could be luck, but it does mean that you are very probably a better player than someone at level 2.

At least in the upper level games, this would be something positive. I really wouldn't care too much about the lower level games. I tend to think < intermediate games should be small and fast. Basically, just large enough, and long enough for the players to learn the ropes and start thinking about how tweak their race the next time.

Yep, agreed. In fact, if you look at the only game I have hosted it was a small, fast 6 player beginner game exactly as you propose.

Quote:

If you want a classic horror story, take, my current Huge game as a case in point. Advertised as Advanced/Expert. Out of 14 players, 6 were *clearly* beginners, and 5 wouldn't be rated higher than intermediate. 4 of these races had *no* clue on how to expand or fight, and dropped at the first hint of trouble. Heck, their planets are still getting absorbed 40 years later!

This is exactly the sort of thing our system would help prevent.

Quote:

Yes, but at least I could avoid games that a full of newbies that won't even attempt to fight.

Of course this is a good thing. What I am suggesting is that we can achieve the same, and more, with a general ranking system.
