looks like there was a large decrease in the number of generals, colonels, majors--ect. Was this some sort of computer glitch or is it a new distribution of ranking, with most players being moved down?

Glicko in MAN2 is living the rest of its days. In my version, you have got 6880 points
As soon as a new version is released we present a new rating.

6880--WOW--Last time i looked at the score in "my profile" i only had 2600+--I think i like your version better!!
