Re-Game no 1Game 1329483

should I take the Win or not???

I know I am losing but when I started this game Raw was rated much higher.To lose against a much lower rated player will hurt my rating much more than the true rating of the player that beat me.
I do not like claiming to win a game I have obviously lost,and I am not really rating focused(mabey a little)but why have a rating system that is not real.
the rating should be based upon the start rating.
Winning by timeout might artificially push your rating up but in my case trying to do the right thing will do the opposite.
raw stopped playing for months before

what to do?. note--I am not overly concerned.Just a little bit perplexed at the situation.

If you can take the win, take it.

I suppose it is not just about the win as it is about the system.

If he's left the site, I wouldn't feel any guilt about taking the win. You'll end up taking it eventually.
