Re: [pbmserv-dev] can there be partners on this server?

Ratings in multiplayer game sin general need work. 
Whether or  not there are partners, the net ratings
impact of any given game should be zero and currently
in a four player game there are three losses equal to
one win.

Being able to play with partners would be cool so I
hope the effort goes into making this work.  I'd be
happy to try to help.
