I agree with all these good ideas to reduce the risks to find blocked games by ignorant or malevolent players.

As we play the roles of Knights of the sky that are supposed to have a certain code of honnour, why wouldn't we create a kind of "Honnour level" calculated by the computer (if technically possible, of course...) for each of the players.
We would have to determinate what is Honnour according to some parameters: period of game since the subscription to "youplay.it, absence of automove for a certain period, etc...

Honnour could be represented for example by a symbol from 1 star (or medal, etc...) for the "less" respectful to 4 stars for the old players that have always respected the other players or the ones that rarely play in automove.

That wouldn't prevent a "bad" player from starting new games, but everybody would quickly know the reputation and the fairplay of everyone.
Every player would indeed appear with his name and his Honnour level. That would encourage all of us to improve our behaviour and would fit with the "Chevaliers du ciel" spirit !

A player ranked "1 star" for example could only join certain games with certain conditions and limits (4 gamers games maximum for example, or the impossibility to join the league games, etc...). And the 4 stars players would have no restrictions at all.

In fact, I am very enthusiastic by this philosophy based on Honnour, respect and fair-play, even if I don't know how long and how difficult it is to be tecnically elaborated. And maybe having a more controlled and limited site isn't the philosophy expected by its creators...

Any comments or suggestions about all this?

Galinette, the utopian pilot


i see it as a good concept...but i wonder about the mechanics of determining the ratings

how would we determine how a player is rated...
not by how many games he plays...i have played against some pretty sleazy players with fairly high numbers of games played...length on the site...again the same problem creeps up...the opinion of other players...it would be difficult to pole everyone reliably and what would stop a good old boys network from happening...i am sure there are other difficulties that could be associated with such a system...but i for one would completely support it if someone could insure its fairness

once again i have to point to the fact that newbies will not be anxious to remain in the site if they are not being allowed to play and i think it is important to make them feel welcome as fast as possible for the site to grow

I think Galinette’s idea of an honour system is an excellent one, though potentially quite complicated. And I agree with Tornade – I don’t think there should be anything to stop newbies launching into the game with huge enthusiasm (as I did, back when I was unemployed and had lots of time). So here is my suggestion:

A four star honour system: Every player (newbies included) starts off with 4 stars. The more automoves the user takes, the more his stars drop. A set length of period without an automove gains you a star.

In the game creation screen the creator of the game can stipulate the level of honour the players of the game must have (1 or more star, 2 or more, 3 or more or 4). Players who don’t have the required numbers of stars can’t join the game. And of course if you only have 2 stars, then you can’t create a 3 star game.

Players who often experience periods of automoving could find themselves only playing other automovers. Players who don’t automove have the pleasure of playing games without an automover.

A further idea – players who donate to the site could be given a maximum of 5 stars (though there shouldn’t be an option to create a 5 star, paid-members only game). This would give the more generous players the flexibility to occasionally lapse into automove due to unexpected life commitments (as I myself have done once or twice, with computer problems etc).

This might still sound very complicated, but I think it could be made workable!

Just my thoughts anyway. Oh, and I have had more than 250 games on the go before! It is hard work, and I didn’t seem to win many.

I like Lord B's "Star System". I am by NO MEANS a programer/webmaster, but I do think it might be awkward to implement by the good folks at YPI.
