Rank!

Well, I know no-one ever reads these forums anymore, but at least I can treat it as some kind of blog I suppose ...
Anyway, what annoys me about CSS these days is that silly ranking system the Mani mod has introduced onto just about every server in the world.
It relies predominantly on your kill-death ratio to score, which isnt actually the object of the game. It encourages people (even more than usual) to stand at the spawn with an AWP and run away from trouble.
Bombs planted? So what? Attempt a defuse? what, and risk ruining my KD ratio??
Thats not how the games meant to be played. And its reaching a point Ive noticed now where people actually seem to think a score of 3-0 is better that a score of say, 5-3 ! It isnt chaps.
The only reasonable ranking system Ive seen is on the Cult server (dont know the name of the system) ,where it actually adds points for bomb plants, defuses, and a lot more. Even then its kind of over-compicated, and makes me wonder just what the point is anyway.

Oh well, a "Dear Diary" thing I suppose, lardidar ...
