The WeeWar Times

On the surface there appear to be two main camps when the topic of rated games and points comes up:
1 – Those who care about their point total and prefer to see it move upwards as a reflection of their skill level
2 – Those who don’t care about their point total and play without regard to it or if a game is rated or not

There are outliers that are willing to cheat, beg, or try to manipulate their way into a higher point total. But most players with a high ranking have earned it and even those that don’t care about their own points will respect a 2000+ ranking.

That respect, plus invitations to some of the most challenging and interesting games are proof enough that points matter in Weewar even if they don’t to some individual players.

There are plenty of underated players in camp 2 so I don’t mean to say points mean everything.

There is a belief held by some that a higher ranking actually make things easier and introduces a type of bias in games where one player is highly ranked and the rest aren’t. What do you think – is there a bias? Do points matter to you?
