This was a cool hack, I'd love to hear more about the way you modified things. Are you releasing a library?

Probably yes, once the system gets matured and we have something that is fault-proof. We would love to share. Probably we will try with Trueskill, ELO and glicko and see how each of them works. For now if you wish to see the code its some 4 lines of python, 4 lines is too short for a library ;)

I'd love to see it.

It'd save me from writing the same, if you post it as a gist, or post it here under a MIT license or similar.

I'm always testing different ranking algos for ChronX, my online CCG. Right now, a modified glicko2 has been best, but I'd love to try your idea here.

I've seen Reddit switch to the Algo, and it's clever, but I didn't think of applying it to game ranking.
