Sorry, I always forget to notify you. But yes I do intend it to be rated. And Bbgemont does as well as that was the precondition I set for whomever wanted to join the game against me.

Geoschmo No need to apologize. It seems to be a common ailment... .
I want to make it as easy for people as possible and perhaps emailing me from the site is a few extra clicks to go through. What do you think about adding an email link in my siggy line, Geo? Seems a lot of people want to use this thread for notification...I could accept notification here and in an email (and therefore have a confirmation to use should anyone say they never agreed to have a certain game rated).
Also, the rules say the losing player should report the loss but I've been accepting any results posted here. What do you think would be easiest, Geo? After all, you're good at organizational things like this...what do you think would be easiest for all concerned?

Re: SE4 Rating System
We currently have 8 games in progress that have Ratings computations being conducted.
We also have 23 players in the Ratings list.
I KNOW there are several players out there who are good (and competitive) players who should join the list (but I won't name any names this time). The way I see it is this: If you know you are good, the sooner you join, the sooner you can start working toward a rating above the starting 1,000 points. If you worry that you are not so good, look at it this way...it's a good way to see how you grow and learn as a player. Yes, you may lose some games and your rating might go lower but, to me, it is a good way to measure growth. AND, as far as I know, EVERY player gets better.
Also, a few other tidbits...
I mentioned sponsoring a tournement for rated players. I think the winner of this tourney should receive a copy of SE5 when it comes out. There would be no cost to enter the tourney--it would just be a prize I purchased and sent. It doesn't mean a person can't join the rating system right before this tourney and still have a chance at the win...but if you're going to join just to play in the tourney, why not join now?
Also, another suggestion was to specify some categories for different Ratings. They could be specified every 200 (or 250) points (example: 750 = "Crewman", 1000 = "Squad Leader", 1250 = "Ship Captain", 1500 = "Formation Commander", 1750 = "Fleet Commander", 2000 = "Admiral" etc.) Since this is an activity for everyone here at the forum/PBW, I'm open to suggestions and comments.

How hard would it be to add a little message board to your website? If that's too hard I could set you up a forum on PBW. People could start a new thread whenever they want to join, or start a rating game, or post results. Or maybe Fyron could setup up a special forum for you on his site. His forum works a little better I think. Then you could link to whichever forum from your webpage.
