This is a bit hacked together @dexonsmith , but I was getting some notable results on Sunday from it (the slack channel has some charts and whatnot). I'm just getting back from a trip and let the code grind out a lot variations of starting ranks while I was away, so I was going to do some additional analysis over the next few days.

I don't think this PR should be merged, certainly not as is, but figured I'd put it up since you were working on similar things.

Nice; I'll try to take a look in the next few days.

Sounds good, got some results in slack if you're interested
