Re: Unable to submit code

I'm getting the same so I submitted a bug. I hadn't thought to look in the forums first, but I did check existing bug reports to see that it wasn't a duplicate. It looks like the developer is very much on top of bug reports which is most appreciated. Thanks! If you would like to upvote my report and...

Re: Solo player awarded Elo

I was thinking, and it does seem like a fair point that older posts could (should?) be removed from the various forums. Probably best to raise it in the "Suggestions" or "Discussions" forums as a new post though. I'm sure there will be plenty of people who would like very old pos...

Re: Solo player awarded Elo

You'll find thousands of posts within the forums that are no longer relevant. They just settle to the bottom of the list and get ignored, especially when they are over a year old like this post. They only really get viewed again if someone comments on them to get them back to the top of the list, wh...

Re: Allow undo of discarding a card

The best thing to do is make a bug report. For bug read "defect / error" or "feature request / it would be nice to have". This is certainly something that I would upvote. Bug reports can get the attention of the developer more than forum posts.

Re: After 20 times playing, I am done with the BGA version

Does that look like a triangle to you? The orange expected outcomes chart is a perfect triangle, yes, because the expected outcome is a triangle (not a bell curve, not random, not anything else). Each individual chart of blue bars isn't a triangle, no, but on such a small sample size that is to be ...

Re: After 20 times playing, I am done with the BGA version

I would be very suspicious if I saw a bell curve across multiple games. On average it should be a triangle. The number of combinations for rolls 2..12 is 1/2/3/4/5/6/5/4/3/2/1 which most certainly isn't any sort of curve. On average, it should look like that: https://www.zupimages.net/up/22/29/xu8k...

Re: After 20 times playing, I am done with the BGA version

https://i.ibb.co/d09xk9Z/Untitled.png Yeah, it's "random" Remember, on average that should be a bell curve. There were more 10's than 7's, and an equal number of 3's and 7's I would be very suspicious if I saw a bell curve across multiple games. On average it should be a triangle. The num...

Re: maybe improvement for randomizer necessary (better seed?)

The chances of a pair of dice showing the same result in the first roll of four games (assuming you do not care which die shows which) is 1 in 5832. Not quite. Given a non-double first roll, the chances of the dice showing the same result the next three rolls is 1 in 5832. The chances of a pair of ...

Re: Arena rating decay for inactivity

If you wanted to have a never ending competition where you can be top, go for #1 in elo all time ranking in your game and make sure you play a game every at least 60 days to keep parking the bus, otherwise you get hidden from the rankings until you play again. Nah, that's not for me. I'm not good e...

Re: Arena rating decay for inactivity

You won't lose elite status, if that's all you care about I appreciate that I won't lose elite status because of AES decay. I just (mildly) object to the decay of AES. As I pointed out, I lose elite status because of "decay" every three months anyway, so penalising me for playing a game s...
