It probably is some weird bug, but it's an issue with these tournaments that the end doesn't really work. Eg. what would happen if it follows the exact letter of the rules is you have 9 players left, 1 table of 5, 4 qualify, 4 skipped, then 1 table of 5, 4 qualify, 3 skipped, basically it would go 9...

If you don't care about ELO which I assume is the point of such a mode, why can't you just ignore it? You can't have friendly mode in its current form enforce penalties, given it gets used for games that are bugged in Alpha etc. So you'd have to create a separate mode, that I can't see being that po...

Hello, Could you be so kind to clarify on how xp tournaments work? I created some of the private tournaments with 1 xp winning but some have got 262 xp f.e. What is the reason? The number of the participants is the same (for about). I limit it to the exact number of players. How to create the priva...

I don't know. This is based on the assumption that the person playing more games isn't putting in the sufficient amount of time to think about each game. Maybe they are playing a lot of games and are also taking the time they feel they need to perform at their level. Also, there's a point where the...

I don't think there is an advantage per se, maybe because I mostly play games that you can't delay very much, so it's more just about how many games you can handle. Yeah, it does help on the volume of games, but I go more for the simplistic I'm playing more, rather than aiming to win. Having fun re...

It's a self reinforcing circle though. If a game is not well known, and among the people who have looked it up only a small number can actually launch a table, then everyone will struggle to find any table and the game will never catch up. In this particular case, the game not being played doesn't ...

Maybe. I don't know how much flexibility you have, as I don't play turn-based or Arena :D If not managing your turns, you can sometimes manage what you do in the game: concede or rush to game end to finish early, take useless turns to finish late. You have to take your turns in order the action was...

Heat has it, but you have to be careful, because if you fall too far behind you will have no chance.

If you play many simultaneous games, you can choose to finish first the games you're gonna lose, and then finish those you're gonna win, ending up with a winning streak and maximizing your gains. But you can't right, you have to take your turns in order. Imo mass playing only gets you so far in Are...

You are likely better off DM'ing the highest ranked Spanish speakers than putting a post in the forum. I'm not sure if you're already part of it, but I know there's a Spanish Heat community that already exists.
