Same question, if no, then we might as well try this:

So Killbase=80 and killflagpoints = deleted.

I'd like as much as anyone to have a rating system that relies only on a player's performance during a match, and not on the ratings of the other players. However, I'm at a loss to think of a fair way to do that. The problem is with the definition of a player's "performance". It's just not the case...

As it's causing too much confusion, I'm willing to get rid of the kill-bonus altogether. We could make pracs like the current league where the only points come from bell flags and a set value for each kill. In this case, 120 would be too high and something closer to 80 would be needed. Also, this wo...

I would assume the flags held at other times would be 10-10 unless given a reason to believe otherwise. It's the only assumption we can have if we want an unbiased calculation... That's why I'm calling it silly. And the truth is quite funny as well because often the team winning bell flags is the "...

Of course I'm making the assumption that teams will hold those flags throughout the game. If a team averages 12 bell flags at the dings, the common sense assumption is to say that they'd average 12 bell flags during the whole game too. Why would I assume something different? I think you're calling i...

As the BONUS comes from kills, it directly increases the value of a kill. It does not increase the value of a flag. Yes, the `Killbonus' increases the value of a kill with flag points, specifically 5*flagcount. Here's some examples with a base kill value of 80. The only thing I'll change in each ex...

I should point out here that lifetime ratings are not a "league". They are only supposed to be a reflection of how good someone is and help with match outcome predictions. There is no "winner" for lifetime ratings. Rather, the focus is supposed to be on the ratings for the current league, for which...

One could argue it emphasises the importance of flagging while others could claim kills become more valuable. The truth is, it encourages you to hold on to your flag, but it does not give a reward UNLESS you kill someone, hence I would state the bonus makes kills worth more. If you don't kill anyon...

Thanks for fixing those things. Open questions/issues I'm not sure what exactly you are wanting when you request that the stats be reset. Are you asking that I reset the lifetime ratings, and if so, do I stop there, or also reset lifetime kills/deaths/pracs played/etc? Yes, I think Temb and me agree...
