				 Re: SE4 Rating System 
 Please check the site to verify I have all the updates posted. 
Note:  I added the "SE4 Ratings Game I" to the list though it's not be verified by Geo.  I'm assuming Geo intends it to be rated by virtue of joining such a game with such a name (      ).  I do prefer acknowledgement by both players to avoid any problems when the game has been resolved.  But I trust Geo to be an honorable player and NOT say later that he never agreed in a message.

 |    My mistake.  Apparently I'm trying to recover from the 3 days of Dragon*Con and can't remember to use the info from the message in my inbox!  Too many scantily-clad girls in fantasy costumes took its toll and now I'm delerious.

 |    Dude!  It was awesome!  Perhaps I should do a tease and see if anyone else is interested.

				 Re: SE4 Rating System 
 I've updated the site to show the latest change in Ratings: Primitive and Roanon.
 Here, you'll notice how the formula works.  At a rating 1000, Primitive received 16 points for winning his first game against a player with the same amount of points.  Then, playing as a player with 1016 points against a player rated at 1000, he only received 15 points.  That's the beauty of this rating formula.  Higher Ratings are expected to win and if that occurs, there are less points earned (and lost).  On the other hand, if a lower rated player wins, both will win/lose more points.
 
 While we know there is more luck involved than chess Ratings, where the formula comes from, in the long run, better players will generally have a higher score.  And, when these high-rated players play someone with a much lower score, BECAUSE they are expected to win, they gain less points.
