1 thing is easily possible is that different games could be combined into the overall in different weightings. So killer could make up 50% compared to other games. Just a thought.

If we were to remove points and points per game (which I'm inclined towards) we'll get the top 50 players for these 2 tables and sticky them on the forum for a couple of months.

I think killer could only be included in overall stats after a few weeks of play to level out rankings.

Or, how about the overall ranking being based on you best 3 ranks?

Or 50% from the lowest 2?

Plenty of options, probably just a case of picking one and going with it..

The rankings message is now:

RANKINGS: nick (+8.61), mondeost1 (-2.0), dixong (-1.97), davesta (-1.93), ab_rfc (-2.23)

It could be:

RANKINGS: nick 714.4 (+8.61), mondeost1 692.5 (-2.0), dixong 687.4 (-1.97), davesta 674.2 (-1.93), ab_rfc 701.1 (-2.23)

I agree, i think people will like seeing their current rank as well as the amount won/lost.

i think ill cry if you introduce killer to the overall rankings. Most of the current top ten would be wiped out the top ten as well lol wouldnt they.

Guess id get used to it eventually but right here right now i dont want it


Couldn't agree more...I'd be very disappointed if killer was to become part of the overall ranking, as would the majority if not all the top players who compete at the top of the overall rankings.

It makes no difference to me personally, but the logic is sound. On a level of principles, killer ought to be included. It would also add to the requirements to remain in top ten overall - which is in my opinion a good thing

As the overall rank covers every type of ranked game, I think killer ranked points should be included in this to keep the overall rank as a true rating.

Yes, they are there just currently not shown on your profile page. I've enabled that for next version.

i guess it does need to be put in if im honest and look at it from the point of view of someone who plays all 4 games.

But as spinner said already, not yet.....you need to give the ranking tables a month or so to take shape before adding it to overall

In that case, all killer games won and lost should be included in overall win % as well, and there should also be killer tournaments, to reflect the true overall nature of the overall stats. I think it's safe to say that if killer was introduced to the overall ranking system, more and more people will end up doing what the likes of quick_pot and the person I quoted do, and not bother playing ranked anymore, myself included...but that doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be introduced, I guess.

OK, I've removed the points part of the killer system. I will post the final rankings later.

are the 'turn success' and 'safeties' not going to be reset - seeing as the wins/losses are - just because they are most of the time comparative to each other - so might aswell reflect each other?
