There have been a few people who have expressed a concern that multi-player games involving rated players somehow detracts from the game. I'm posting this poll to see if the RATED players (can't see any reason why unrated players would bother to vote) would like to discontinue this option for Ratings and limit it to 1 x 1 games only.

I can. It is the unrated players that are screwed over by the shinnanegans...

You make a good point, Fyron. Sorry I hadn't thought about that. Of course, one has to agree that there ARE shinnigans that go on in the first place. As I have stated before, in a multi-player game, I don't care if a person is rated or not in that particular game...if it is advantageous to make a treaty with them, I will. In the Anklebiter game, for instance, Atari-Eric wasn't rated and I was partnered with him before anyone else and I never neglected him or used him. He was, basically, my partner who I would never turn on. Rated or not. Deccan was also near me and we became partners. Then, Rex, after a bit of a ruffle, became partners. Joachim never got the chance because of an early scuffle where he lost a colony ship coming through a warp hole and demanded repayment. From that point on, we never treatied up...and he was a rated player. So, I can honestly say I choose my partners and enemies regardless of their rating status.
So, to summarize, one would need to believe there ARE shinnagans going on.
But to come back to your statement...you are right. Players NOT participating should have a say-so, so I urge them to vote.
Thanks, Fyron, for the comment.
