Take it however you want. Unfortunately for your case in the rankings, head-to-head is not something that is taken into consideration.

First, that would take a sh*tload of work to look at every matchup to see who beat who and record it. Next, it would take even more of a sh*tload of work to make sure that if you beat a team, you're not ranked lower than them.

Third, considering the number of teams in the league, and the growing number of games played, it would be quite unlikely that making sure teams you beat are ranked lower than you is a realistic possibility.

Then that completly takes away from the power ranking. Two teams that we beat cant be rated higher than you in the power ranking that makes no sense.

That's fine and I have no problem with that but doesn't change the fact that the comments I referred to were anything but constructive criticism like you claimed.


Well then you sir, need to stop being so damn sensitive about what anonymous people say over the internet. If someone points out something wrong with his rankings, even if the tone of the message is less than benevolent, why wouldn't he just take it as constructive criticism. It seems to me that most mature people wouldn't be worried about what some people on a MMORPG forum would say. Not to mention the constructive criticism that I mentioned (6th post down in page 2) was referring to my own comments about SoS as indicated by the sentence right after that.


LOL who's the sensitive one again? Do I need to link you to dictionary.com so you can find the definition of constructive criticism?

The post of yours I quoted was clearly a part of the post pyramid that started due to the attack post that you claim was constructive. Try to weasel yourself out of it all you'd like but you clearly either a liar or you don't know what it means.

Here this might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism

Now take some of your own advice and stop being so sensitive.



Wow, since you obviously have no idea what your talking about and probably live your life by wikipedia I'm just gonna stop arguing now. Looks like we get the pleasure of playing your little Star Wars team near the end of the season. That should be a fun game.

Don't you have to start arguing in order to stop? Forget Wikipedia just pick up a dictionary so you can see how wrong you are with your choice of words. It's not even a big deal until you decided to get sensitive and project it onto others.

You guys have a great team so I'm sure you have nothing to worry about when we play. Just like you shouldn't worry about power rankings when the only thing that matters is wins and losses.

By the way, I link to one wikipedia article and now I live my life by it? Man you love to reach. Kind of sad and a sign of insecurity. I'd seek help.

I'll tell you what... Next week, after we've added a few more games to the equation, we'll revisit this. I think it's safe to assume that you'd run into a contradiction of the following sorts:

Team A beats team B, so A > B.
Team B beats team C, so B > C.
Team C beats team A, so C > A.

This is a contradiction because C cannot be both lower than A and higher than A at the same time. Thus, factoring in head to head is impossible because a team would need to be ranked higher and lower than a team.
