OK. Thanks.

Understood.

I just hate not being at 100% -- I try so hard to ensure it stays there.

I was in the middle of a game and my area lost power. I was dropped 20 points in Karma.

Can this be reversed?

When I am in Manual Mode, and I start a new table, often times I notice (usually after I have opened the table to other players and I am getting sad that nobody is joining) that the table is restricted to my friends. This seems rather silly. If I wanted to restrict things to Friends I would be in Fr...

Just had a momentary crash of the system cause one of the other players to be kicked out for time.

I believe, given the crash mid game, that this player should not be penalized. Please ensure they are not.

After some time to reflect on this (and to study more carefully how BGA handles the ELO scores), I have determined: 1. I was wrong about the calculations. Those are fine. 2. The issue is with the fact that, in multi-player games, the ELO adjustments are calculated for every opponent and added togeth...

I believe (and I could be wrong) that those who are focusing on the fact that some (most?) games have elements of luck, kingmaking, and the like. That is not the issue (best I can tell). The issue is that the calculations for ELO adjustment are so fluid as to exacerbate the issue of luck, kingmaking...

"You're also discounting the luck factor in games other than chess" -- I am not discounting anything (at least I do not believe I am). I just think that if my rating, on a scale of 0 to less than 1000, can swing by ~200 points in a few days, then it is a meaningless measure. === Imagine a ...

I have read that -- and I understand what they are saying.

I am saying that I disagree with the fluidity. I sincerely believe it needs to be reigned in. A lot.

I have been playing chess for years. I play a lot of rated games and my rating, although it fluctuates a few points up and down, does not make wild swings of 20+ points in a single game. The ELO system on BGA is so fluid as to be meaningless. Let's take a look at my rating for Azul. Not long ago, I ...

Thank you!

Is it possible to show this list on the PLAY NOW page? I only see the FAVORITES list on that page and no option to add/remove others.
