How starry do people like their guidebooks? 30-Oct-2014 At 5:13:21 PM One Day Hero

So, given that Neil has started a thread on stars which has a couple of guidebook authors chiming in, how starry do people think we should we make the new A.C.T. select guide?

It's looking like being about a thousand routes, +/- a couple of hundred. Assuming a normal distribution of quality around "ok but not great", and that we'll chop off the tail which contains the utter crap, how much should a star be worth? I was thinking something like 50% no stars, 30% 1 star, 15% 2 stars, 5% 3 stars. So that'll mean 50 routes get 3 stars, and 150 2 stars........is that too many. (btw, before you make the joke about how one 3 star route in the A.C.T. is too many, thank you but its been done already)
