Well damn... lol

You prove a damn good point on why ELO systems do not belong in Toribash. I still want to believe that a modified ELO system might work for Toribash but I'm starting to have massive doubts about that now...

Either way, I still cannot agree with you on essentially making Rank = QI. When people look at fighting games, they automatically look at rank as an indicator of skill. QI is an indicator of experience not only that, but its pretty much just given to you without that much effort on your part. Going back to the old system may have its benefits, but by doing so, you're pretty much stomping on the general consensus on ranks.

With that being said, while I would hate going back to the old QI system, I wouldn't mind it if we had the ELO system or some other different ranking system for individual mods. Pretty much:

Global Rank = QI
Mod Rank = ELO or some other ranking system
