New Rating System

[Kamikaze28]

During the beta, I brought up a similar point and Alex (the Alex) made some very convincing points about why there are no viewable skill rankings:

1. Outwitters does not use ELO, the values used are anything but human-readable and knowing them doesn't get you anywhere.
2. The whole point of divisions is to avoid a monolithic leaderboard. Being ranked #35,811 of 156,425 just doesn't mean anything to anybody and the lower 95% just won't care about it anyway.
3. Show a skill rating to people and once it's high enough they are motivated not to play anymore, because they might lose and fall down the ranks.
4. Show them a score they can maximize instead and they'll go to the ends of the earth to do so.
