Re: Game is Unplayable

What a kind and friendly reply. In the future, please simply ignore my posts, ... You are promoting and repeating a baseless conspiracy theory by weaponizing your own ignorance of how random distributions - its really weird that you expect people to be actively nice to you. There are a number of pe...

If that were true it would be a sad indictment of the educational system but I think given the rest of your post we can take it with a pinch of salt - as the Cohen brother's once said "we made everything else up why can't we make that up".

As well as the useful advice of giving operating system its worth noting that appending paranoid conspiracy theories onto your posts about real problems doesn't help BGA get to the matter any faster.

Re: Elo manipulation by turn based games

The reason they did it with Arena is because players were purposefully dragging their losing game on past the deadline so the result wouldn't count at all. If it was partly the same reason to do it in normal turn-based games, then they could/should put this restriction in as-well. In fact they did ...

Re: Elo manipulation by turn based games

No, this has been used extensively by a few players to claim 1st ranking in multiple games. Nonsense. Congratulations on joining the conspiracy theory wing of the forum that believes the rand function is rigged, that AI bots have been secretly developed, that players extensively hack the interface,...

Re: Elo manipulation by turn based games

Because your rating get's lower first, you will end up with higher rating. Am I missing sth? No, you are quite right. This is well known amongst turn based players. it can be used to give you a slight boost, or to mitigate a little on a dramatic loss. But the effect is quite minor - it might let yo...

Re: Red Thumb reasons - add something that fits for coop games

Sometimes when I play a coop game, there is an obvious saboteur. And yes, I red thumb them. But there isn't a reason that fits as a warning to the community. It's kind of the opposite of king-making. This is just part of the general toxicity that you have chosen to be involved with in the coop comm...

Re: TimeOut Overnight

My first forum post and everyone defends the house. What a waste of 4 years slowly moving towards connection. :( You seem to be taking this way too personally. Its a game - you joined one where you didn't understand the rules, as a result you did badly. That cannot be a new experience. Now you know...

Re: Conceding matches long before they're lost is out of hand.

... wonder if it’s considered rude to not resign, in other words to play out any reasonably close game. The answer is that resignation is a personal choice. You have no right to be offended if an opponent resigns and no right to be offended if they continue to play. Getting offended at either of th...

Why do you think this site owes you something? The site has exactly one payment. You don't make it and so you don't get access to the features associated with it.
