But if you drop below a certain point how do you get it up again without playing?

I think there's allready a penalty in points for dropping, right?

There will b always droppers, i think. And we can't control it. But we also have many people that goes to the end.

I think a change in the game setup so that droppers won't affect that much the game. Like smaller maps and more turns per week.

Punishing or banning HABITUAL droppers WILL eventually make a difference!

Punishing people who have temporary rl problems which keep them from turns for a week or two or three does the game no good!

And it can be hard to distinguish the two!

Still, I believe a REALISTIC system of rating people would be a great help.

SO....say you only complete 75% of the turns you are SUPPOSED to run? Then your rating would be 75% and you would be limited to the games you can join. If you complete >90% of your turns, you can join ANY game. If you complete <50% of your turns, you would be SEVERELY restricted to say no more than one game at a time until you raise your rating!

You would receive a certain percentage of increase per each turn you completed! The actual percentage would be a matter of trial and error? Say .2% per turn to start and down the line it could be adjusted up or down!

Just an idea. Any changes/improvements/suggestions are welcome!

I amy not be the smartest guy in the world, but at least I try to come up with solutions!
