(RR) Reliability Rating

[Fangfallen]

My biggest pet peeve in Vortex Wars is when I sit down to play a game and it seems promising, and then people start leaving before the game is even through it's first turn.

I know we have a penalty already, which is a loss of experience and rating, but I think we can do more.

I propose we add a system that gives us more control of our games and who is in them.

The RR system would be simple to understand.

If you leave a game before you die or win you lose 1 RR point.
If you leave a game before the 3rd turn you lose 5 RR points.
If you play a game to completion and you last longer than 8 turns, you earn 1 RR point for each player in the match.
If you play a game to completion but die before the 8th turn, you win 1 RR point as long as it has 6 or more players.

Playing a game to completion is defined in two ways.
A. Winning.
B. Getting killed by another player.

In addition to this we could add a system much like the system that prevents guests and low level players from joining games.
This way we can make matches that only allow players with a certain RR to join.

I believe this is a good way to make sure that our games are actually fun as well as earning a better reputation and finding out who is reliable enough to play with.

Yes, I know this has flaws, but so does other aspects of the game and perhaps over time this can be refined.

And I'd be the one guy who brings people down to one region and leans back for a few hours. The other players might try to help each other with assisted suicide, but there will always be that poor bloke who never gets to die.

Jerks excepted, it's a great idea.

One word. Disconnections.

I thought lopdo is too busy to do any updates for the game so you just wasted your time writing this out besides that its a good idea
