My point is that often the deaths are just as glitched as the game penalty system. It only seems fair that some of those deaths can drop off with time played as well.
Also, if you apply a simply eye test to the level of game play you see from let's say Columbo. He rarely gets shot and makes nearly perfect shoot/no shoot decisions, yet his score is 41%. This means the ranking / scoring would not pass the eye test of determining the quality of gaming from the individual. This means that players using lethal weapons and making great decisions about shooting or not shooting can never hope to rank high. The quality of game play should have a factor to the overall score in some way. I can go into the server using non lethal all the time and never get a penalty....ever. For me, that would not be exciting. For the game to be exciting for me, I must give the armed suspect an opportunity to comply and then, based upon his reaction, apply appropriate force to control the situation without getting myself or anyone else killed. I will never score higher than 0% on your ranking system, but I'm a skilled player that completes about 60% of missions even when playing alone, makes solid shoot/no shoot decisions (suspect arrest to incapacitation rate of about 4/1), and put my shots on target an overwhelming percentage of the time. According to SOG scoring, that's worth nothing. 0%.

The rank system is in its beta version. I offered my help and I will try to figure out a new equation that will be giving the final score to the leaderboard. For now, the system was resetted to give us some fresh data (free of those penalties given by Jessica before she started deducting 4 penalties per 20 minutes). According to this data, a new equation will be developed to make this rank system greater again 😀 I think Matt can confirm what I wrote above when he’s online
When this is finished, players will be happier than ever before! 😂
Edit: I didn’t see Matt’s previous post... that’s mainly what I meant :P
PS: It seems like real policemen use the guns too early comparing to the RoE used in game 😀This is probably something for game programmers than Jessica’s standards anyway... Probably in real life you don’t wait until they are close to shoot you because of the danger of penalties...
