I'm suggesting a minor change to the ranking description of the governor's daughters.
Keep the same number & order etc, but change 'handsome' to 'lovely' and 'stunning' to 'exquisite'.
The present list has less distinct separation gap than the suggested one.
ie. plain, cute, handsome, gorgeous, stunning
vs. plain, cute, lovely, gorgeous, exquisite

Lovely for handsome sounds a lot better indeed. Agreed.
As for stunning, would you mind elaborating a bit more why exquisite would be a better solution ?
I got 2 arguments for Stunning:
A)Its easier to understand in compare to exquisite (taking in mind non-native speakers who are a lot)
B)It has already been widely known as the BEST to get which would make the replacement a bit ankward.
Of course, if there was proper justification, we would proceed in replacement.

In terms of the word itself, 'stunning' does not necessarily mean beauty... it just means the observer is surprised by whatever is being described.
If it is used in terms of a person's looks, it just means the person is surprisingly ~insert adjective~ .
ie. the person could be stunningly ugly. it's more subjective...
Moving on to 'exquisite', the word is rarely used to describe anything in a negative light.
ie. an object/person can't be exquisitely ugly; it can't even be called an oxymoron it just doesn't make sense.
When a person is described as exquisite, it is usually perceived that the object/person does not possess a common beauty but something rare and priceless etc.
In response to (A), since everyone's already online would it really be that difficult to use an online translator....

We have fixed it as proposed.
One open issue is what name we should use for female players ? Ay ideas ? Governor's son does not sound right to me. We need something else.
