I was playing Yahtzee last night and when I left my ELO was 158. My reputation is at 100%. When I logged in tonight my ELO was down to 123? Why did this happen? I can't answer your question because I doubt that what you say happened did happen. But if your question instead would've been "How d...

Hi everyone, this is a somewhat random comment but can someone explain to me the ELO logic. That is, you win a game you get 4-8 ELO, if you lose a game, you lose 15-25 ELO. How is that logically valid :shock: ? Altogether, can we just remove this ELO nonsense! It's what happens when you play with s...

I am just saying a legal way to smurf exists
*shrug*

it's absolutely allowed to smurf with a new account if you delete the old one first (if that wasn't moderated). unfortunately it's almost impossible for others to check if you did that or not.

Check out "Super Tock" and "Dog" on BGG. Same or just similar idk. Tock is on BGA.

you're automatically added to those when you play that game. even if you have left the group before - play it again and you rejoin (for better or worse).

those groups btw are invisible on most lists of groups you are in, i.e. in the group tab on our profile.

Result | Elo before | Change | Elo after Joint 1st | 458 | -2 | 456 Joint 1st | 176 | +12 | 188 3rd place | 152 | -9 | 143 The higher-rated player defeated the third-place player but tied with the much lower-rated co-winner. The Elo loss from that draw outweighed the Elo gained from the win, result...

..., or has agreed to make, 8/12/24 moves per day.... Actually if you sign up for 24 moves per day then you need to be prepared that you have to do 24 moves per day. So you did agree to do that. Because if your opponent always makes their move instantly then only your time will be running and you'l...

It is hard to win a game when players get exactly what they need to beat you. I play the game consistently the same way. Yeah, it is! But it is normal that this happens in games with as much luck as yahtzee. Sometimes you lose from it, sometimes you win from it. It is also normal that you can have ...

Why is it that my ELO has dropped 144 points in a few days. I was up to 268 and once I got that high my ELO has dropped every single day. I am not a bad player, but other players are getting exactly what they need to win the game. I got 2 Yahtzee's tonight and then they just so happened to get 2 Ya...
