You're basically an enormous moron who doesn't understand statistics.

Jiriki is right. Keep admins and their personal opinions out of it.

Thats pretty mean thing to say for someone who has passed already two courses of statistics with straight A:s in FINNISH education system! But yea. Its not like I do that for living or anything.

And I agree. Moderators don't have the right for personal opinion. They just need to follow the rules the best way they can. Admins make the rules and they don't have the liberty either.

Well you said use one round, what am I to think!? :D

Oh yeah. My bad. :p

What I meant is that with KPD you get a very rough idea of players skill already from round 1 and when you play more and more it will get more specific. But with likes of gather rating you can't really tell anything from the first round and it uses people's opinions, not not real facts. Thats why you need to play couple of gathers before people can make an opinion and stop picking you as a fat kid.

Something like 2000 gathers have happened.

plugins can't tell the difference between a joke tac to a few people destroying a game.

admins can just sort problems out, even get shit players to contribute more if the rules are decent enough.

i think the gather score system jiriki suggested is the best.

basically make a score system based on the last 20-30 gathers (not more- so ppl improving will be shown in the system quickly).

the sooner you get picked, the higher you are rated. obviously highest rating would be the 2nd captain.

I don't really see how that could work. Your making huge assumption every NS2player plays gathers but I hope thats not true. If the scene is active the best players play just pcws because top clans need to be really active. Maybe 1-2 gather every now and then. Even 20-30 gathers takes a while to play. Also the message that it gives, is not to play gather if you want to play ensl pub as you want and other way around.

But I can't tell if this is true. Wouldn't be my fist time to be mistaken about people. Its a good idea to try to keep the rating up to date.
