AllegSkill

if implementing AllegSkill requires too much work and skill, can we instead do something like a popularity match? right click a palyer's name, assign a rating between 0 and 20. average rating is displayed as the player's rank. would be way more accurate than what we have now and would add some potential drama, and we all know that drama keeps this game alive.

Or just a standard Elo system. Nothing could be easier.

ehhhhhhhhh seems like it would promote personal attacks. I'd like to be rated by my accomplishments, not by my popularity.

Didn't spidey rate players. People were upset he didn't say enough good things about them.

There's 5 of us left and we're arguing about how to rank each other.

I actually meant us as players with the "our". Because I'm convinced we could have had many more high quality games with Allegskill and therefore kept more players, and so improved game quality even more, and thus ... ok, I'll stop

I don't think Allegskills would have made a difference keeping new players around.
I'm convinced the borked key mapping at Steam launch drove new players away in droves, way before they ever even knew this game had a ranking system.

Love this idea and it would raise the Allegiance drama level to 11™
