i know this is off topic but...

doesnt it seem wrong to bitch about other peoples fair play when http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?mode=ratings2&username=Limey+Lyons ?

what you do is a different type of abuse but its still abusing the system

There are no rules regarding how i should interpret the feedback system. Essentially, 1 star is now my standard score, occasionally, i come across splendid players who i choose not to rate. Like Speed or Lazarus Long.

For this game, neither upstate nor fersevi made an offer to each other in the game chat. Then fersevi said they made a "non agression pact" between their pink and green territories. It is clear they already had an agreement even before they announced it and it was just declared because red questioned them. For this they are blocked from playing together after the game for suspicions of having a secret diplomacy, or for breaking rule no.2.

Limey Lyons, you are also warned for abusing the ratings system.

Furthermore, there is nothing 'random' about how i give out feedback. Most people give out 5 stars as standard, some 3, i give 1. Please explain to me why this is not allowed and how this is abuse.

Best,

Limey

Please direct me to where the feedback rules publicly reside and i will comply. I can currently find no such rules on this site and don't see why i can't interpret the feedback system as i see fit.

Best,

Comment:

Your given ratings has been brought to our attention and as you say, "1 star is now my standard scorehanding". You do not use the ratings system to get back at it or use it for your own personal enjoyment. Do not give out random ratings or hand out ratings which lacks or no basis at all.

This improper use of the ratings system is strictly prohibited and let this serve as a warning. We do not want to be forced to take away this privilege from you.

The conquer club moderators make up the rules as they go along. Like Fascists.

That's simply your opinion Hardy. Meaningless.

They currently consider 1 star ratings to be gross abuse, considering that the system clearly outlines how to use it and how to rate fairly....aka is average....and since you aren't the conqueror, there are people better than you who you could technically give higher stars to. Ergo you are abusing the system.

by **Limey Lyons** on Wed Nov 12, 2008 11:01 am

not so. Ratings are there to express opinion. whether you think my opinion is wrong (or anyone else's despite their rank) is irrelevant. Is my opinion more valid than yours because i have a higher rank? answer: no.

by **Darwins_Bane** on Wed Nov 12, 2008 1:46 pm

So what you are saying instead is that you are an elitist? And that you should be supreme ruler of all? that just doesn't make sense. The rating system is there so that that you can let others know how well a certain player played in comparison to others. But that also requires a basis for comparison. Meaning that you have to have seen someone who is not a 1 star rating in your eyes.
