Board Game Arena

Peak score would mean you could accumulate wins in turn-based games to get a high one-time score by artificially winning many games, while not finishing the ones one may be losing... Kind of like the issue BGA thankfully dealt with at the end of the seasons.

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 say 6 weeks on / 6 weeks off just seems punitive. Mind, I s...

You won't lose elite status, if that's all you care about

The punishment is so low that it makes no difference if you started playing a month before the end or not. Agreed, playing later in the season is usually more lucrative (but also not too late, as by the end everybody who has decent ranking stops playing, which is why decays are important/ok!). Agree...

Good idea, 1 point per day, after 5 days, is nothing. Losing one game when at the top you easily drop 30 or more points. Penalty for quitting for a month would therefore be about one loss. It will make arena more interesting, especially for the borderline rankings between 20th and 21st, 10th and 11t...

- resolved, all good -

It's true, but on average you will be the first/second player the same amount of games so this disadvantage will disappear. The official Carcassonne rules work like this ("unfortunately"). I do like the removal of tiles (I would favour a random tile being removed every game) idea to remove...

Agreed, maybe BGA should only let people abandon 1 arena match per day?

Do winning streaks reset with draws or take training mode into account?

I think average turn time is “ Reflexion time standard deviation” but not 100% sure. (Minutes should say seconds)
