Suggestion: win/loss record or record based on place

I think it would be neat if we could have a true win/loss record.

Similarly (or maybe, instead) it would be great to have a breakdown of first, second, third, etc.

I've seen this before over at yahoo games, specifically with games like Sheepshead. The game has 5 players, so there are places one through five:

A unified win/loss record would be moot, as players win way more 1v1 than 6 player games. winning 20% of 6 players games is good, winning 50% of 2 players games is.. well average.

I do like the ladder score though. We also have a Command score in the works which uses an alogrythm to zero in on a players skill, perhaps more than their score suggests.

But you could make some sort of winning %. Win a 1-vs-1 and you get a 1 (loser gets 0). In a 4 player game, #1 gets 1, #2 gets 0.66, #3 gets 0.33 and #4 gets 0. With the currents system, second is the first of the losers, i.e. it doesn't matter if you are second or last. This scoring (winning%) is only applicable to standard games. I think the Mercenary is already fairly incorporated in total score. And probably Assassin as well (winner gets all the points).
