This is continuation of discussion started by Calahan
here and addition to a similar thread I started on the other forums w/ same starting post:
Basically current HoF while simple to maintain has some glaring issues. Namely:
1. newb game wins count the same as vets wins
2. small game wins count the same as big game wins
3. Losing doesn't count so 5/5 winner ranks below 6/100 winner
4. No motivation to survive as much as possible. Quite the contrary, once it's clear you're not gonna win then why keep playing at all?- Better to go AI or stale.
One suggestion is to move to an ELO system - like in chess.
This system will address all the current HoF issues. It has one known issue though - at high ratings it encourages "sitting" on the rating.
I would like to hear opinions and suggestions on the matter. The objective is to consider ways to address the problems of current HoF.
Change HoF mechanics
