On-line rating (discussion)

That's silly – Hamachi is a LAN emulator... You can play anything through it. Should we create a Player Rating? Go ahead, but Hamachi is irrelevant here; it's like saying, "I suggest creating a Player Rating for players who play online through Windows XP SP2."

Personally, I mean a Player Rating for online players, and Hamachi has nothing to do with it. I'm even against this Hamachi-based connection. I once tried to find an opponent through Hamachi, and we did, but it was so difficult to play a game. We started playing, then crashes began, and it all ended with us losing connection after another crash. He couldn't see what I was writing in the Hamachi chat, and I couldn't see his callsign. He was thinking all sorts of things, and I didn't know what to think either. We waited for each other for an hour until I found his ICQ through a third party and we connected there. I laughed about the situation for a long time afterward. In the end, we connected via IP. The more people active in a network at the same time, the more overloaded the network becomes, and the more errors and crashes occur. IMO, it's just childish, and you can come up with many other ways to find people who want to play at a certain time.
