G40 League House Rule project

Ranking shmanking. I think the league is useful for another reason. I am finding that I enjoy the games against someone who is about equal to me in skill and the league rankings let me find them. Playing a really raw new player is not much fun because its too easy, although sometimes they can surprise you with oddball stuff and get lucky with it. Playing the tier 1 guys is definitely no fun for me, just stressful. My own skill level isn’t very advanced but I think that just about anyone who has played online against a variety of styles is actually pretty good even among the lower ranks. With the league ranking you can go through the list and maybe find an opponent who is about an equal match and then have a really good game that you both learn from. I think the ranking system you have right now is fine for that purpose. Let the guys at the top of the list worry about rankings and those of us down in the pack can focus on picking out equalish opponents to have good games with that are challenging but not ridiculously impossible. I myself count anyone in the tier 1 as impossible to beat but that’s OK.

Very well said, Variance. Thanks for the post - hopefully others will read it and see one of the most useful purposes of my spreadsheet, and that is:
Finding fun games to play.
I also think it’s too stressful to play tier 1 players, most of the time. :-)
I’d rather kick butt than learn lessons the hard way :-D -

We have a new #1
Target is now on Allweneedislove’s back :-)
Or Zhukov, who is now the only remaining undefeated player with more than 1 win (he has 8)
-
Zhukov has 8 wins
8 followed by ) makes 8) for those who don’t know
-
looks like kabloom is waiting till next year to go for his win. eqqman on the other hand is scratching at clawing at the ceiling of tier 3! cmon eqq, one or two more wins!
-
Zhukov is in trouble against cow, but that game seems to be on ice for the moment.

Gamerman, are the Axis stil rocking ahead on kills?

The Axis had a lot of wins in the last 20 results or so. Before that, it was almost tied.
Look to the right in the spreadsheet. Bottom right.
Axis 92
Allies 75So Axis is significantly ahead right now.
-
hmm, Axis are just shy of winning 30% more of the time… not too bad I suppose for balance.
Although, I’ve always wanted it to be the other way around with the Axis the ones pressed to win…
I guess Larry likes the Axis. Who knew?

people just don’t know how to play the Allies yet
-
Gamerman, who has the most wins as the Allies, we should consult him!
-
probably you karl.
-
huh? really? I doubt that…. or maybe that explains why I got kicked out of tier 1… :lol:
-
Jeff has the most wins at 10, but I have the highest winning percentage at 8-1
I’m not seeing the Allied disadvantage, no :-)
