Mafia rating/ELO/reputation system?

[davesaz]

I don't think the win/loss thing is useful.
If there were a way to -1 for spam in a game I'd go for that. I'd like to see that spam count as a public badge of shame.

Tracking replace out and completion rates would be a very good idea. I take a lot of pride in completing every game I start or replace into. If I have a RL emergency that can't be handled via V/LA then I'll consider replacing out, but that's the only reason.

[davesaz]

I've only seen a couple people restricted for excessive replacements.
Replacement should be for RL situations only, instead of the current I'm bored and want to join a different game standard.

[davesaz]

Well, if they're not going to play then they need to be replaced of course. If it's a pattern of not wanting to play then it's an issue.

I'm pretty much against anything that would create a chilling effect on people replacing out of games when it is in their and the games best interest for them to do so.

I think tracking such a stat publicly would definitely do so.

Replacing out damages games, sometimes beyond repair. If someone cares so little about mafia that they replace out 20% of the time, we're better off knowing that.

[davesaz]

You'll say apathy does that too, but it's better to not join than it is to join, get a vanilla role, and replace out.

[davesaz]

OK, there are situations where replacing out is acceptable.

What I'm trying to avoid is a player signing up for everything and shopping for games/roles they prefer by replacing out. I think the proposed stats could reveal that kind of behavior.

I have a tool that can track votes across a Day in a thread.

Is that something you'd be willing to share?
