DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

Such a heated discussion... I've played about fifty matches since registering here... NOT ONCE was there any contact in the first week. And in general, it's not gentlemanly or sportsmanlike to make winning at any cost your goal. Or are they already giving out rewards for ratings? IMO, a normal player doesn't try to defeat their opponent in the first week. That's not fair play, IMO. Let's strive for fair and, most importantly, mutually enjoyable gameplay, rather than meaningless ratings, okay?
