I think that indirectly answers my question...probably not a current trend, but rather just something I coincidentally hadn't seen much of previously.

Has anyone else noticed a trend of people conceding near/at the end of games, rather than finishing them out? It almost never happened in the past, but this week it's probably occurred 4-5 times in more than one game. Does conceding cause ELO/ranking to go down less? In some circumstances people hav...

I hope this is the right place for this. I think the experience of playing the digital implementation would be much improved if the dice rolled at the start of your turn. Let me know if I'm missing some advantage to requiring players to manually roll the dice at the start of their turn, but as far a...

Thanks! I must have been playing lower ranked opponents coincidentally.

I'm on a small winning streak in one particular game, and the consequence is that I receive fewer stars toward my next Arena rank (I'm not Elite yet). Once a person is Elite in a game, it makes total sense that winning against lower elo players would have a smaller impact on your Elite score. Howeve...

Playing spacebase, I was ahead on the last turn with no chance for anyone else to win. The person in 4th place went unresponsive and timed out. I have a high ELO, so naturally I stand to lose a lot if I place 3rd or 4th, and typically lose a little ELO even for 2nd place. But in this game, that I wo...
