Why do we even have the ratings system?

[Destroyer Sol]

The truth, nobody cares, I just had a player deadbeat me in a doubles game. It was a speed game with a sergeant, so thought I would enjoy. He had 100% turns played, so I joined. ha ha ratings are for fools. He PM me with the weakest excuse ever. Sorry I joined another freestyle game and couldn't play both. Also his girlfriend was giving him a hard time. Ha Ha Ha see ya all, ratings are crap........

AAFitz, I understand how the rating system works; but what is considered fair play and what is not? In my previous game of RISK Classic, I was the g player and I was trying to attack y player having most of North America while I had Est USA, Central America, I had won Western USA several times, I did not know that b player was in cahoots to y player but found out when the bugger attacked Central America then y player wacked me in Western USA, all I was left with was Est USA...you see I was about to cash in 3 cards so I was hemmed in and trashed for that, do you think that was fair play and they deserved any rankings?

well when i tick the boxes they are fair and true, if someone want's to leave me the odd load of vindictive bollox instead of what I'm really like, then i don't care because the larger amount of ticked boxes would even out and be the larger average figure with time.

I want to be able to put on ignore people with sub 'X' scores to avoid idiots that have arrived at a 3-4.2 average score through being an idiot.

without that sort of a filter - it's all pretty pointless anyway leaving feedback. I've got better things to do than survey my waiting games lists and drop certain games like KLOBBER did.

Ok Pedronicus......so you don't destroy the weaker players when they are about to get sets of cards do you? If you supposedly give truthful rankings on the ranking system; after getting destroyed in 2 games where I did have a chance of winning....then getting smoked for nothing than taking territory in Pearle Harbour in the recient last game I played, I did not feel very generious to make rankings on people that would not let me win a little territory. But sadly in most games I played the people that are suppose to be the allies that are not supposed to be attacking you do the very attacks on you that they should not. After your destroyed then they go after whom they are supposed to be attacking the enemy forces. Ahhh vendictive bollox, better try to tell it to me after I had 3 parts of the airfield, the Dry Dock and about 4 ships in Pearle Harbour but to loose it all to other people that collaborated to keep me from cashing in my cards and not attack each other.
