Is there a way to do a multi-way conversation?
It's super annoying that it doesn't seem to be possible to broadcast a message to two people, and have conversations involving more than just two people. I guess you can just relay between the three/four of you, but that's super annoying. Is there a workaround?

How is one's position (rank) calcuated?
The FAQ explains how points are won and lost but does not explain how one goes up or down in ranking. Intuitively, the more one wins, the higher one climbs but I would really appreciate a detailed understanding of how one's position is determined. I've seen players of extremely high rank with a relatively low percentage of wins.

Using CD as a tactic
So some CDs imo should not be counted in reliability rating. For example if there is only one option like destroying your unit.

Does taking over a losing CD give you a loss on your record?
Assuming you do, in fact, lose.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
30 May 15 UTC
Yes. It will affect your GhostRating as well. For all intents and purposes you receive all the benefits and penalties of the outcome.
It makes me feel good to take them over, but doesn't do my GR any favors

Personally I feel win or lose they should not affect the GR.

Where do you find information on the GR? How do I get a GR?
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))

http://tournaments.webdiplomacy.net/theghost-ratingslist
You will be provided one automatically once you have a completed GR-eligible game.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
31 May 15 UTC
Sorry, caveat, they are updated once a month so you should be on the June list if you completed a game in May.
Kruschtschow (96 D)

More important, does taking over prevent the previous player from a negative count?
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
31 May 15 UTC
Yes. Currently for GR, it is calculated for and only for the players that control each power at the game's conclusion.
Deinodon (379 D(B))
31 May 15 UTC
I just took a look at the list. In the last three months, 2,726 people played in Ghost rated games? Wow, I had no idea this place was that active.
Deinodon (379 D(B))
31 May 15 UTC
What exactly qualifies as a Ghost Rated game?
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
31 May 15 UTC
The GR list only shows those who have completed a game in the last three months. To be eligible it has to reach A03. Most variant maps are not included, and live or gunboat games are valued less.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
31 May 15 UTC
Note that "reach A03" means a completed Spring 1903, Autumn 1903 does not need to be completed.
arborinius (173 D)

So does that mean that if I have a GR game that's going poorly for me I could CD and have it not affect my record.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
31 May 15 UTC
Well, it wouldn't affect your *GR* record if you CD'd *and* someone took over your position. However of course your non-GR stats such as RR, CD's, reputation, etc would still be tarnished, as well as your immortal soul.
Deinodon (379 D(B))
