Proposal for guidelines for reporting incomplete games

[LordDeadwood]

Okay, how about this for an option. Those that complete 25% or greater record the game as normal. Normal ladder points and normal stats. Otherwise the game is reported as a less than 25% game and gets less points but still recognizes the effort involved. Those that play less than 10% are asked not to report it. All this would be based on a guidleine, not an enforced rule.

The reporting of less than 25% games would require a separate game entry on the database which uses a smaller SM value to give fewer points. This would only be needed for games over a certain SM, as it is only the large scenarios (primarily campaigns) that are worth adjusting. [For those that do not know, the SM values range from 1 to 10 and the details are found using the 'Calculate scenario SM' link on the scenario page.]

This approach leaves historical ladder points and stats unchanged but will improve the future stats as no one would bother looking at the under 25% stats.

This would mean some data entry for Mr Grumpy but I understand he finds it very fulfilling.

I voted in the poll that I don't care either way, but this option sounds good.
