I could make my personal record with this game, but my opponant has conceded victory

So frustrating.

This game is a 1/5000 maby...

My reasoning has nothing to do with assuming malicious intent, just looking logically at what is most likely. You have not shown how this is "logically" most likely. This is the structure of your argument. 1. Two players are playing a game. One player went over the time allowed. 2. The op...

That's not how probabilities work. The definite conclusion you drew based on a probability is the problem. It's fallacious. Choosing one because of... reasons... is not a sound argument to be convincing to anyone. We have the same evidence, but are drawing different conclusions. If we want to apply...

When it happens on the last turn however, it's either they wanted to grab the win, or it's a big coincidence that they got fed up exactly at that point, so the former explanation becomes the much more likely one. You have not demonstrated how this is more likely whatsoever. Your hypothesis has just...

It seems more like to me they wanted to see if they could win the game, then upon realizing they had lost, they decided to grab the win. It seems absurd to assume someone who expels on the last turn had their opponent's interests in mind. Well, yeah, because if it had happened in the middle of the ...

Wild how there are some putting the blame on the opponent for being fed up and expelling the OP for going way over time twice. Looking at the log, it looks like the opponent wanted to give the OP a chance and made their first over time a mulligan. Magicnerd: -20h27 Magicnerd gains 2 compass Move 170...

The A.I. "art" using food are probably the ones that bother me the most, because they look so obviously fake and unappealing, that it's just gross. And the sad thing is, so many restaurants are using it nowadays. Like, what a way to drive customers out by NOT showing your actual food, but ...

People are being perfectly honest. They've told you many times how much they care about winning (a lot more than you apparently since you said you wouldn't care if the site stopped being competitive). In this thread you are talking to people who are fiercely competitive and have been Elo leaders in...

Let's use an analogy that I think is illustrative enough. Let's say you are invited to the marriage of your friends. It's not you who is getting married, so you aren't benefiting in that sense, but you are happy to see the couple getting married, the ceremony is beautiful and the party is a lot of ...

As for enjoying playing the game, if they removed things like ELO and rankings, then I'd be fine with it. I'd enjoy games much more with less stress. But since that's never going to happen and people are going to care about their ELO and ranking to some degree, then, at least in my case, I can't si...
