Re: Elo points
High incentive to abandon is the real problem. Zero points for score 30 is fine. It's basically the games version of saying "comon, this is too easy for you, try something else". ALWAYS awarding elo on a perfect score also has a few problems. 1. It would mean that at some point, you should...

Re: Happy New Year: 1 million players!
And what a marvelous improvement this hotseat mode is, considering that it was no trouble playing together until you added it as a new premium feature. :-P (Maybe that's why "hotseat" mode is written with quotation marks, but 3D mode isn't?) ... but happy 1 million players, it's great this...

Re: Hanabi quitting
Actually we created a BGA hanabi group for that purpose, too: Hanabi Skills - 2b or not 2b ( https://en.boardgamearena.com/#!group?id=1598286§ion=publicinfos ) We promote sportsmanship, high skill, and no abandoning. But if you are into alternate conventions and playstyles, check out Zamiel'...

Re: Same IP Players Now Premium?
I see the errors in my way now. Forgive me, for I have sinned! How could I be so blinded in my ignorance not seeing everything BGA has done for us? That it was like a mother to us in time of need, entertaining, loving, caring? How could we dare critize the holy grail of online boardgames itself? Fro...

Re: Same IP Players Now Premium?
I wonder though (thinking about Isdariel's point, and the situation mentioned about two groups in different places wanting to play together), if maybe this would be better implemented as a "no games where everyone is from the same IP" policy, instead of what it seems to be now, a "no...

Re: Same IP Players Now Premium?
Hmm, alexgodlex might be on to something there. The recent change pushes players who are used to play with local friends hard towards a subscription, but has no effect on "singles" at all (and thus it makes sense for "singles" to go "meh, what's the big deal" on this ch...

Re: Same IP Players Now Premium?
If I were using this site with other friends instead of buying an actual physical copy of a game, I for one would feel pretty guilty for not supporting the game's creators. And if one of us does own the game, then we can play the physical copy when we are in the same place. First of, just because y...

Re: Same IP Players Now Premium?
It might be a good idea to communicate to your members when you restrict access for free users. Finding out the hard way just leads to disappointment, which in turn reduces your chances of capitalizing on this restriction by recruiting more premium members. How about a nice, well-written "we ne...

Re: Hanabi variant
Beri hinted at a necessary ELO adjustment for the hanabi variant - has there been any progress on this?
From what I see, most players seem to think that 2P+variant is slightly easier and 5P+variant sligthly harder. Do we have any game data on this?
