Anyways, that kind of brings up an idea that I suppose could coencide with your proposition. I understand what you are getting at with the top "ranked" players earning their rank through pretty unfair means. It doesn't bother me much, but there is one thing you could do. It's pretty simple, just continue ELO rankings for the individual mods, and change the method in which a player is ranked globally. Therefore, if someone plays and wins a mod an obscene amount of times, it would show that in their mod rank, but would not reflect their global rank. As to how we rank people globally, I do agree somewhat with Dr., and I don't think based on belt would be the absolute best way to go. Also, although it would not be a huge problem, that could encourage QI buying. I'd like to hear different ideas of methods to globally rank, though.
It really is the global ranking which is the bigger issue. It's not I think kindercat was winning jousting unfairly, it's that we shouldn't value jousting MORE than other mods. And we do that by awarding the same amount of MMR in it per win as we do games that take literally 10x longer. If you only got .5 mmr for ever 2 mmr points youd get for winning a brushu game, we'd at least see a BIT of equality.
