Conquer Club

I have a quick question about the rating system.

Anything that I rate or review I have the same system/mindset....only give something top marks if it is outstanding and better than the best. However, a response left to one of the ratings I left asked why not 5 stars...whilst the person beat me I didn't see anything special in his play that would be worthy of 5 stars.

So am I wrong in leaving ratings that way or should I just leave 5 stars to all those who beat me and help to cheapen the ratings system?

Well, quite honestly, most players on the site don't follow the whole 3=average, 4=great (or something like that), and 5=exceptional. Most people will give 5 stars unless they have a problem with their opponent(s). ---C

You're free to use or abuse it how you see fit. Indeed 3 stars were supposed to be the average rating, but a lot of people throw a fit when they're not getting 5 stars. On the other hand you've got assholers who leave 1 star ratings for no reason. I've completely avoided the problem by not leaving any ratings at all.

Though obviously not completely because you have a rating medal...

I probably filled out the most ratings on the site and filled them all out honestly. There are alot of players out there that issue 1's for no reason.

Yeah, I naively started to hand out ratings at first. It was also interesting to see if my medal would be revoked once I removed all my ratings.

that is interesting, you still have your lovely medal.

Why is it that everyone you rate gets the same rating for all three categories then? Is it not possible for someone to have a great attitude, but be a shit player, or vice-versa.

You have to realize that clicking on some stars is quite a spectacular feat. I've earned it, beejatch.

green had a huge stack and lost them all on the last 2 rounds and if I recall dint even get a card. He had one of those games with the dice on the last 2 rounds that you just want to forget about.

useually i leave a 5 star when they were above average, and a one or so when there was something wrong, otherwise i pretty much leave it be

i give everyone 5 unless theres a problem
i give them 1-4 depending on how much of an issue the problem was

i gave 1 person a rating and that is it. no one else is getting 1. i'm not really arsed who or ho doesn't give me a rating or how high. i still notice i'm at 4.9 so i must be still getting high ones(i don't even check any more).

yeah, i marked a few on the first live day... thought i would give it one shot.

but that's it...

my rating is also 4.9
hehe i checked, the reason it is not a 5.0 is that i received all 1's from the busted cheat Mystique" onclick="this.href=this.href.replace('Mystique',encodeURIComponent('Mystique'));" onmouseover="this.href=this.href.replace('Mystique',encodeURIComponent('Mystique'));">Mystique

Mystique is rated at 4.8... super-duper.

Thanks Jim, if you'd like a rematch, I'm sure Daz'll be up for it.

As for the rating...cheers Daz; I always did have a little soft spot for you- now it's that bit bigger.

I have learned my lesson - I shall avoid all innuendos from this day forth.

Thing is.... you could find smut in the Magna Carta, Jimmy.
