				 Re: SE4 Rating System 
 
	LOL...I just cross-posted with you on your very point, I think.  Funny, huh.Quote:

 In other words: Three allied players win the game. Player A was considered to be the most instrumental player, B the next, and C had just a minor role (one of those players in the corner who helps with tech and resources
  Then C resigns (turns his empire over) to B, and B resigns to A. 
 If I understand the scoring correctly, Player C should still gain points in his/her/its rating, but just not as much as Players B and A.
 
 When there is a disagreement as to who did more in the game, there is still the Last Species Standing  option.
 
 Just my two cents

 Anyway, take a look and see what you think about what I said.
