Re: PBW League Idea...
Well a multiplayer win is diffrent than in a head to head game. When you don't have to use diplomacy who ever is better at expansion and production wins. In a multiplayer game that ablity is muted. I am in a game now where the lead player outproduces everyone but they are losing because everyone has ganged up on him. So I still think it takes diffrent skills to win at diffrent types of games. Not all games are created equal.
I would go for a published ranking system. Based on wins and participation. 3 point for a 'Win' 2 for second place and 1 point just for being in the game. and -5 for dropping out. All these points would be divided by the amount of games played. And Ranked players could advertise games and you could join based on your ranking. New folks could still play with experienced folks and still walk away with something.
