Slynky - The games page looks good. You might need a link to it from the main page.

Yeah, I was in a hurry. That's why I mentioned a 4-button page design for later. Tks, though.

Before I add this next player...let me see if I understand:

"Roanon", whose real name is Joachim, wants to join but he's NOT the same person as a "Joachim", whose real name is James. Have I got that correct?

[tesco samoa]

you can add pairs to the rating as well for tesco..

and i will report all future games against people in the rating as a game...

also perhaps you would like to make a page on your website where we can submit games that were playing in to be rated, and then the outcome....

Slynky, there are games already underway with ratable players in them. Could they be used as rated games if the players agree?

Well, the SE4 Ratings System "belongs" to everyone and though I started off the rules, I will listen to (and consider) what everyone has to say to improve it and make it work well (and prohibit any cheating).

I don't see any reason why players in a game in progress who agree to have it count toward a rating should not be allowed to do so. So, unless I hear a reason why not, I think it's OK. I just need the game name and a confirmation from each player agreeing.

Tesco! Whaddya say? Shall we enter ourselves to be rated in "Rifts"? I'm willing.

The site has been updated to reflect:

Tesco being rated in the "Pairs" game; and
4-button pages to make navigation a bit more direct/easy.

Please check the Games page (games in progress that are being rated) to make sure I haven't missed a notification that you have a rated game underway.

Work in progress: A different sort on the games in progress to list games by the person. Makes it easier to find your name and see which games you are being rated in.

Gecko and Gozguy are starting a KOTH game and both of us are in the Ratings system.
BTW I did not see/observe/or notice and way to indicate that you are in a rating game. Or is this the way to make notification?

And just a thought now that we have a Ratings system won't that affect in some way how players play in a game? The situation I was thininking about is when a much higher rated player takes on severl 'lower' rated folks and they gang up on the higher rated player. The reason I mention this is because I have seen it happen and that situation gets old fairly quick for the higher rated player. OTOH oh well thats the way the Space Empire crumbles.

Just an observation

"I, (enter your PBW nickname here) agree to be rated in (enter the PBW game name here)."

Note that the "me" in the above quote refers to Slynky (I think), not myself.
