[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 93175, member: 633"] Using stipulations that the match will cause rank loss wouldn't work. First of all, finding an opponent willing to fight will become harder. Then, it will split the game just as much as creating two leagues would, and that's a Bad Thing (TM). From another POV, consider what happens when you play in a D&D campaign that you consider seriously overpowered. You can go with the flow and lose fun, or be the only character with a +2 sword at 5th while all the others have +3 keen vorpals. The first option is bad. The second is worse. It's not the most perfect analogy, but I think you get the idea - two power scales in the same game never work. I think I've said everything I could for now... unless some other interesting views come in, I'll wait for the poll. Oh, about the leagues - splitting an already small player base doesn't sound good. That said, if really a sizeable number of people feel that they want to leave unless losing is removed, it's not like we can (or want to) stop them from having no-loss fights and keeping their own records. In other words, I wouldn't encourage he formation of two leagues, but I can't do anything to prevent it if it happens naturally. [/QUOTE]
