Re: the *decreasing ELO gain if you win against the same players rule*

I dont think anything you wrote actually refers to me. in fact you confirm that it is a problem with pairing, the same I showed. and exactly what this rule can influence - in games with high interaction. but not in games with no interaction where there is no preferred pairing for players. It absolu...

Re: the *decreasing ELO gain if you win against the same players rule*

1. I know that Elo is based on who wins/loses only. I dont know how many more times I should try to explain the same... the game result determines the Elo - but who wins or loses is determined or influenced by personal style or approach in a lot of / most games!! the more so the more interaction th...

Re: Saying good luck and have fun

Even in high competitive events for games with little or no random elements, people say "good luck" before starting a match. "Luck" is not necessarily related to cards draws or dice rolls, but even for the opponent making mistakes or missing opportunities.

Re: The rolling 7's rule when players have 8 or more cards

It's interesting that most discussions about probabilities are coming from Catan players not understanding how they work.

Re: The rolling 7's rule when players have 8 or more cards

There is at least one easy option. Change the rule from a minimum of 8 cards to a minimum of 11 cards. Also, would there be a way to impose a limit of any player having this rule set at a maximum of 2 times per game? In this scenario for me, if I get hit one time is ok, two times is annoying, 3 tim...

Re: Fundamental issue with the elo system and repeated wins

I'm glad they didn't implement that Elo decay, it's unfortunate they even considered it to begin with. But an Elo penalty for quitting? That also undermines the point of Elo. Yuck. Having no Elo penalty for quitting games would lead to the people quitting games when they would lose them, so they do...

Re: Catan Is Broken. Unplayable

The developers of CATAN on BGA could just add statistics for each number (2 - 12). That should easily prove over time that the distribution of numbers is just as expected. If someone thinks the dice are not random, it's their job to prove it. It's not the game developers job to refute any accusatio...
