Vortex Wars

Maybe (if it's even possible with the code) a point deducted from you or added to you within a range of +5/-5 depending on if you surrender early. Then make it so that you only see good reputation players' games if you have a good rep. I saw it in another game. Pm me if you want the name so you can see what I'm talking about.

*sry bout the pm for the map editor. Techgump thought I should do both.

+1

If this were to be put it I think it would be added as a filter right? I mean you don't have to play against players with a similar "reputation."

Yes, I think a filter is appropriate. Just like minimum level requirement setting for game creation... a nice option would be reputation based on surrendering vs playing games out using point system as El has commented.

1) you and your brother have excellent taste in your avatars.

2) I like the idea. Although, I think other types of reputations should be your conquer/loss ratio, and your win/loss ratio.

Win loss and C/l.. Interesting, but I think pretty much pointless. I don't judge a player's skills off either of these numbers. Part of maintaining an super high win ratio (for those that really care about this generally useless number) is playing crap players, and/or teaming up with another consistently for draws. In fact, I expect the best players to have a lower W/L, a middle of the road number. This is an indication that they do not team (or at least not as often as others), and play better players. Likewise with C/L, there are more problems including the ones mentioned for W/L... like those than take one turn and quit when not happy. Leads to a very high c/l.

These two factors (w/l and c/l) as they stand to me right now, mean very little, and to me would be quite useless. I welcome low c/l and low w/l members to my games. I far more prefer they have experience under their belt (level settings handle this), do not ally up, and stay for a complete game (which is one factor missing that reputation would solve).
