Re: games in progress is less useful now

Ok, I didn't see the large view option. That does help. I still can't see the names of who is at the table and who is master or beginner without clicking on each name individually. So it's still less info than the old page...which was better. What was lacking from the old display?

games in progress is less useful now

The "games in progress" page was useful. When I'm about to start a table, I could look at that page and see if any games with the same settings I like are almost done. That gives me an idea if soe players ill be available soon. Now that it's changed, and I can't see the settings at any of ...

Re: 6 nimmt theoretical puzzle

I spent some more time on this, and thought I was close to a solution a couple times, but it is indeed impossible. I haven't spent any time trying to solve the absolute minimum points I could be forced to take, but I imagine it would be at least two rows of cards. You must have figured out a good an...

Re: 6 nimmt theoretical puzzle

So the riddle is: Is there a hand in 5p pro that is absolutely safe no matter what opponents play?

It seems like there should be a solution. But I messed around with this for about 20 minutes without solving it. Pro is so dynamic, it's tough to figure out. It's an interesting puzzle.

Re: 6 nimmt theoretical puzzle

My first thought is to start with lowest cards, but I see there are issues.. I think this works: On the table 50, 52, 53, 54 My hand 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 51 Play 51 first, then from biggest to smallest.. Oh, I see this doesn't work...hmmm, it's tricky...I'll think about it later and g...

Re: 🌿ELO System Updates

The goals: 1. To continue to have a system like most of us have enjoyed. 2. To not have players who are basically inactive parked at the top. 3. To discourage cheating using multiple accounts. The answers: 2. I suggest a single 1 point ELO decay every 3 days for ONLY the top 20 ELO leaders of each ...

Re: 🌿ELO System Updates

The goals: 1. To continue to have a system like most of us have enjoyed. 2. To not have players who are basically inactive parked at the top. 3. To discourage cheating using multiple accounts. The answers: 1. Revert to the previous system for now, being open to other ELO fixes that aren’t the topic ...

Re: 🌿ELO System Updates

Lowering the K factor each time you meet a previous opponent is the exact same thing as gaining less ELO each time you play them. I'm not sure how that is seen as a different thing.

Re: 🌿ELO System Updates

on a 2p table, the winner gains 100% of the allocated ELO. So you would gain 10 of the 10 ELO you earned. on a 5p table, the winner gains 62.5% of the allocated ELO. So you would gain 25 of the 40 ELO you earned. maybe this sounds fair so far…it isn’t… on a 10p table, the winner gains 27.8% of the ...

Re: 🌿ELO System Updates

None of the following relates to co-op games. There is already a huge ELO advantage for creating the smallest table possible. This is why most games are dominated by players who only play 2p games. You may be great players, but you also have a few hundred ELO advantage because of the equations. Ther...
