The German point ranking list has been actualized. The players rank from
22 to 1 point(s). Sorry, I don´t have the list handy to tell you more
right now, but post a mail for more details if you want to.
The problem has been discussed that more frequent players earn more
points, thereby declassing less frequent players. IMO, this is fair
since a player that gets few points in few plays has nothing proving him
a good player, just a lucky one. A player with many points shows that he
is indeed a good player and deck builder, since winning an eight-player
tourney 5 times or more requires much more than plain luck. A player who
doesn´t join tourneys much (maybe 2-3 times total) is unlikely to be
good enough to win a larger tourney, since tourney decks are much
stronger than private game decks.
Btw, UGE Unlimited, which I lent to a friend without a deck, made 4 Rep
points total (in 3 games). I found that a lack of Stealth sleazing
ability was its strongest weakness. It rendered my friend unable to
overcome those Elite Sec Mage and Mage Strike Force. I didn´t witness
much of his gameplay, though. Maybe Loki can tell us more about his own
experiences.
