Get out of the way inferior OPS+, make way for the better wRC+

By Tangotiger, 11:18 PM

Well, that was fast.  David has now added wRC+.

If Sean can implement the very simple change I noted here, then OPS+ would be a worthy challenger (except for the fact that RC+ includes SB and CS, and OPS doesn’t).  As it stands now, OPS+ is not a worthy challenger.

If proof is required, proof will be forthcoming.  Please, only ask for it if you are skeptical, and that you have an open mind.  Don’t ask me because you want to challenge for the sake of challenge and will reject my findings regardless of what I show.
