Power Level and Rank Skip

Let's get this out of the way real quick: We don't really know what accounts for a player's power level. Most likely this is a combination of rank power levels (as described in https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Splatfest_Power) with an Elo-based score evolution (as seen in splatfest and leagues) plus another factor that I'll detail later which is more linked to the team-based nature of Splatoon.

The problem here has several faces to it. We need to explain the following elements we can observe daily:

• How one skips ranks even with cracks when one doesn't with no losses?
• How the gauge increases differently for apparently random reasons?
• How one gets cracks instantly and sometimes only after 3 games?

The starting point of my reasoning comes from what we could all see when splatoon was released or, more recently, when clam blitz came out.

# First thing first, using global should be avoided at all costs, I won't
# explain all the reasons, there's a lot of litterature on that topic.
# So, let's start by removing these globals everywhere and look for
# a way to replace them

# These lists really look like externalities to me, this should problably
# be passed as arguments to the program, or with some other kind of setup,
# but as is, Ill just past them as constant to make it explicit that we won't
