Whuh? That can't be right. If it is, then all I need to do is leave the game once the #resign command is posted.

If you bail on a loss, you lose double. You bail on a win, you gain nothing. (Or so I read somewhere).

If you played for 5 minutes or more, the loss will count. Not the win.
Quack, no multiplier.
--------------------------
There is a small code multiplier in place for certain ranks. I don't have the exact memorized, but to put it simply:
Newbies get extra points for a win, less for a loss. - So they can rank up faster
Intermediates get equal win or lose points.
Advanced get half the win points and normal loss points. - Harder to maintain vet status.

wtf? If I leave a game early, I dont get credit for the win? but I do get credit for the loss?
WTF IS THAT ABOUT, we should at least get PARTIAL credit for the win.
to anyone who bothers to check out the ranking system, it has a negative tendency, because its 5X easier to bleed points then get them

lol, that's not even zero sum, the average rank goes down with time using that math!

blah blah blah yadah yadah yadah no @#(! dudes HAS NO ONE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION? Go wiki Baker's post about leaky buckets etc and let's not start this stupid @#(! all over again. HELO is the ranking system, deal with it ,since that is the only one we are going to be using for the foreseeable future.

We all know that HELO is broken. Yes, it's broken and I don't care what anyone says because BV said it himself: half the time it works. Only something that works less than 100% of the time can be considered broken, i.e. HELO!!! So stfu about it, devise a new ranking system and then, just maybe then, we can bitch about how THAT system is broken too!

OR create a ranking system that works. That would be better. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
