ad hominem!

stop trolling baxter and answer my question, are you basing your comparison out of thin air or are those random ranks you pulled out based on a system?

Evincar it's all logical, you may not agree and that's fine, we don't have to agree.

I'm using PMs to communicate on this issue as some people are inflamed.

Merry hoho

Ok, whatever you believe is what you believe. I didn't say I was a statistician mind you. I have worked with demographic statistics among other things for over 10 years. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
Ok, NO

You do not say something like that to back up one of your points, and then pass it off as a joke when people don't buy it.

Now nobody can trust anything you say, because tbh, it's likely to be bull@#(!.

You're wasting your time and our time in this thread by making invalid points and not backing down when you are clearly in the wrong, hell you aren't even talking about maths half the time, you're just winding everyone up.

Stop cussing, and go home.

WTF are you talking about. Wake up. Working with statistics for demographic analysis and voting paterns is perfectly acceptable form of statistical use. There's a difference between that type or work and something a statician might do, same as there's a difference between what a pollster might do (which I've also done), the underlying practice is all related... that's exactly the same as a teacher that teaches history or a teacher that teaches sociology /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Erm Frag whats the big deal? No-one talked about forcing this new ranking system on. In fact apart from jgb and you there has been a pretty positive response to the whole idea of having a new ranking system.

Also AFAIK there won't be a need to do a changeover to 'test' the new system as they can simply use the same TAG data from any normal game and have probably already been doing so anyway.

The way you are ragging on AllegSkill is pretty @#(!ty, the same statements can be flip reversed to you. Why should we have the old AZ ranking system forced on us?? What if the masses want spidey to sit down for 4 hours to rank every single player (my vote for that!)?? I know you didn't talk about forcing it on the community but no one did for AllegSkill either.

And jgb I used to respect you, think you were a nice guy and all that but what you seem to be posting in this thread seems utterly chidish, you give the attitude of a 8 year old who thinks they are the best and any negative thing a person has to say about them is simply not true. Its gotten to the stage where I don't know who should be more insulted if I compare you to Malice! And even then its swaying towards Malice as although he is a douche he doesn't pretend (too much) that he is not one.

When have I ever pretended I am not a douche?

Havent I told everyone that like 20 times?
