Thanks, so you propose that every player starts with a stack of points. I do not really understand the way you propose to apportion the points among the players, could give an example ? I do not want to check inflation, since I want to figure out who is the best player, not who is the most implicated.

>>Thanks, so you propose that every player starts with a stack of points. Isn't that essential to the ELO system? Let's say you have a game with four players with these levels: a=1, b=2, c=2, d=3 Player b wins. So player a loses 1 point, player c loses 2 points and player d loses 3 points. Player b gets 6 points. If you add a tax, 1 point gets lost and Player b gets 5 points. Well, you are not responsible for the inflation. The inflation is created through new players, who get their starting value. If you do not want to decay the points of inactive players, you could add the mentioned tax, so that the new points added to the system each day are equal to the points eaten by the tax on each game of a day.
