Who said it can't be accurate? :p

+10 for winning faction
+5 for getting nk'd as town (by scum)
-10 for losing
-5 for getting vig'd (any faction)
+1 each day alive

Etc etc (obviously some balancing needs to be done)
Or just generic win/loss with an elo system for balance!

I have a rankings formula that uses all of the info in the database and is without a doubt 100% accurate.

BUT I'LL NEVER TELL!

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable plan to me.

A big problem with having a mafia mmr is finding a workaround to prevent players from voting/killing other players solely for the purpose of hurting their mmr.

"Oh marvellosity has the most points? Lynch him day 1 no matter what. If he's scum then we all get points and he doesn't, if he's town then he can't faceroll the mafia on later days and get even more points."

etc.

Sure you might be able to find a solution to the above issue, but solving all the issues of killing/lynching purely for the stats is a huge problem. I've been playing with a variety of ideas to set up a point system in video mafia (or some sort of ranked games) but figuring out a system that's fair is difficult (and maybe impossible).

I actually like the idea of a TL mafia power rank. The only thing to be worried about is hurting peoples' feelings. As someone said you could do something simple just based off of wins/losses. Whoever is number 1 should have won a majority of their games while at least performing somewhat well (catching mafia and misleading town). Doesn't need to be terribly subjective, and I don't think that would take up too much time for whoever's doing it (you wouldn't need to be closely reading every game).

Mafia games are long so what would the timeframe be for having a power rank? Every 3 months? Every 6 months? There should probably be a game requirement as well...whoever is on the power rank must be consistently (whatever that means) playing in games. That is, Foolishness can't be on the power rank just because he played in one game and facerolled the mafia.

Even if a power rank doesn't seem like a good idea, perhaps some sort of "news bulletin" every X months would be cool. It would essentially include: notable games played in the past X months (i.e. good to read as a high-level mafia game), highlights from the games played, outstanding performances by individual players, a "worst post" award, a "Chezinu Column" featuring the best Chezinu-like posts, etc.
