When I was playing for Metallica, no one ever ordered me to resign games. I played every game till I felt there was no hope to win no matter how many games had already been won in the challenge.

The only outcome from an ELO clan system is a form of a ladder
Where to play anyone beneath your clans rating is a no no
You have already said you would not play someone from beneath your clans rating
You will there fore end up with like playing like with no change
Hence STAGNATION
1] will not stop collusion
2] will make challenges much more complicated, you will have to take into account players ratings and clan ratings
3] clans will not play clans lower than them
4] no yearly winner
the old system was okay until collusion ruined it, just improve it by
1] still a yearly winner
2] once a clan has lost 50 net points to a clan they cant play each other again until the next year, cheats will still get 50 easy points but no the 700 they got last year
3] make every game count, 10 v 10 winner getrs 20 points plus 1 point for every game won, losing team gets 1 point for every game won
4] no more draws if its equal board one result determines the winner if tied then board two etc, if its a draw on all boards then no clan gets any points.
5] a player cant change their name, neither should a clan, pick a name and it stays forever
6] stick to previous punishments, roll back and clan suspensions easy riders anti metallica breaking bad and arrow must be punished in order to restore integrity and act as a warning to others
see easily fixed no hovercrafts required.

Carrobie and his gang after having raped 50 points off his feeder clans will have them just open other new clans that he can rape more points from
I think there also has to be a negative aspect to the points system otherwise the winner will just be the clan that plays the most challenges. The more challenges played whether win or lose the points roll in.
Double points for the winning clan minus the games lost. The loser gets a minus of the games difference. E.g. if a clan loses 11-9 in a 10 man challenge the winners get 11 ( 20 minus 9), the losers get minus (9-11).

OK Mr. Genius. I am going to slightly overstep my bounds here because you have your head about 4 feet up your backside on this one.
With respect to Zumdahl's "TIME OUT" losses, why don't you do some more research on the topic.
In your usual slipshod manner, you failed to notice a couple of things, and you selectively pulled his games.

If a clan leader is telling one of their clan members to do anything it is against the rules
Originally posted by padgerWhat rules? There is no rule against resigning games. There is no rule against collusion. There is no rule against untimely time outs. There is no rule against clan captains telling their players what to do or not do; neither is there a rule that clan members have to obey their captains. There is no rule against a player belonging to more than one clan. Hadn't you heard? Apart from the rule that one is not allowed to have multiple RHP accounts, this is a rule-free zone!

Oh, PS, it is really bad form to publish PMs. Not a rule, more of a politeness guideline.
