Oh, well that's fine then. Did everyone hear that? Pippy says it's OK, so we should just retire to our hovels and be grateful to his highness. No more discussions please - our lord hath spoken.

I really wonder what gives him the right....... :roll:

Naf ranking as if all games were played with a single race:

Hehehe :wink:

Just expressing my opinion.

People talked about weighting scores based on tournament size and it was agreed that would be too complicated. I think adding extra rules about races used would be an unnecessary complexity too. Just my opinion.

Seems a bit predictable that ideas are being suggested to shoot down the current leader... Wouldn’t want to take anything away from how well Manjina is doing, that’s all :D

Roller – thanks for pointing that out! What a great site?!?! :D

We are only half way through of course for 09.
Well mate, I'm glad someone is listening to what I actually said and not reading it as "I want to change how the current one works for my own benefit" (mind you, from the motley collection of Mark Owen, Gangleshanks and Ming the Merciless I shouldn't have expected much more :roll: ).
Sounds like TBB needs a lookalikes thread :)
