Player rank

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Did you thought about creating players ranking? It could be similar to Elo 
rating system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

This should be implemented. For non head to head game it should work like a few 
head to head games.

Personally I'm opposed due to encouraging cheating (much easier in open source 
games) through collusion/fake accounts/code manipulation/fake disconnects/DoS, 
difficulty of weighting all the countless modes and variations, some much more 
random than others, and making some of the nastier competitive people even 
nastier and competitive.  Even more strain on our incredibly limited moderation 
of the server.

That being said, unC0Rr's been working on it for a long time already.

I'd rather avoid a rating system like that unless the project is willing to 
appoint player moderators in droves. I like the server as it is now anyway. No 
ratings makes for friendly play.
