Then your current elo was overestimated If I play with 3 experts, or 2 experts and one master, or even sometimes 2 masters, one expert - the ELO usually goes up slightly, maybe 1 point over one or two perfect games. Therefore it is clear that my ELO is below that of a theoretically perfect player i...

It is, if you're playing with easy settings. Not really as the current ELO is also based on those settings. So there is no "decay" or "going rusty" since you are still playing the game you reached that level on. And my point still stands, you would go rusty more from not playing...

I'm thinking that it may be good to have an elo decrease even after a perfect play. I think that is the main thing I disagree with. A time based decay might be something that should be intentionally added - but decay because you scored a perfect game playing with very strong players does not correl...

How does that work.

Given a fixed ELO virtual opponent, even with 5 players, a draw should still result in a loss in ELO if the 5 players have a sufficiently high ELO?

Yeah, it's not so much about the numbers, even with good numbers, there will still be perfect games that loose ELO.

My request is more, can we adjust the algorithm, so that perfect games can be capped at 0 loss

Would it be possible cap the ELO loss at 0 for a perfect win? I understand that the scoring system (for all of BGA for coop games) is based on a theoretical draw against a player of a specific rank - which means when you reach a certain level, even a perfect game is an ELO loss. I started today with...

I think the point above was missed slightly. When you read "?" - whether you find that passive aggressive or not is an assumption of intent on your part. So my suggestion is start with good assumptions that there is no aggression (passive or otherwise) intended. I have very rarely seen a s...

I think with the internet it is very easy to read offence where none is intended. If in real life a clue is given that makes no sense, unless you are playing with poker players their facial expression will show that and they will react, likely via a facial expression. In Hanabi the "?" in ...
