Ah, but it's not just a ring of salt, it's a circle.

Yes it it on. Now does anyone know where I can hire some good field agents?

This game is on-going. What's with the bump?

See the "Ratings" thread. (it was bumped just for convenience)

Gotcha.

But this game can't be rated unless everyone agrees, can it?

I don't have a problem with rating the dang thing, but there are a good number of people in it. Law of averages makes it ... foreseeable that not all may consent.

Because I make mistakes, or because people thought they notified me and didn't, I allow for a person to be enrolled as a rated player if everyone being rated agrees to it. They may decide it's OK because of his position in the game, his ranking in the game, knowing him to be an honest fellow, etc. Of course, others may decide, for various reasons, to not allow a person to join in the rated players after the game has been started.

This approach is intended to stop people from seeing the map and then saying they want to be rated. As far as I have seen, I don't think people are like that that are in the Rated system.

Bear in mind, NONE of this has to do with anyone NOT enrolled in the Ratings system (yet playing in the qame in question).

HOWEVER, it would appear that a Rated player participating in a game that he has decided NOT to be rated in might ALSO have a concern about a player requesting to be rated after the game has started. Something that I really haven't thought of till now...seeing that you are a rated player yet not participating in Anklebiters as a rated player, Loser.

Rate me, rate it, that's fine.

Of course, I've forgotten the procedure. Perhaps saying that here is not enough?

LOL...I'm afraid you'd need to take the same approach as Gandalf must... .

In all seriousness, I wish more people would click on my URL for mail in my siggy...that's the best chance I won't missed a request for a game to be rated.
