True in some cases. But don't turn this into an on or off situation for all of pbw. At the start of a game the host should say if role playing is the goal.

Why would I ever do that? That would be silly... A game doesn't have to have roleplaying as its goal for it to possibly be ruined by Ratings shinnanegans, so a host should consider it for any game, not just roleplaying games. |

I knew one day that we would agree on SOMETHING, Fyron, LOL.

Re: (Poll) - SE4 Ratings System
I voted no but would add; unless all the players are rated.
Honestly, I wasn't aware of the problem (but I had been gone for quite some time) but I can see where some people might be concerned. I also think calling it "Ratings shinnanegans" gives an unwarrented negative impression of the rated players.

Re: (Poll) - SE4 Ratings System
My original post was more towards having players join together just to gain up on a higher rated player due to his skill etc, which is not really within his control and that sort of thing.

True, but I think if players were to take that sort of tactic, they wouldn't care if he was rated or not. AND, any player who was rated could decide ahead of time if he wanted taht particular game rated or not (and if he was scared of such a thing, could opt not to have his empire rated).

Re: (Poll) - SE4 Ratings System
But would that really be any different than everyone ganging up on a religious player?
Besides, are there any players who are that obsessive about their rating? Or do most view the system as a way to play more games?
