[...] You are saying the reason someone becomes premium is that they are serious players. Right? Do we agree so far? [...] The key feature of your claim is that skill is much more important in playing 7wd than luck or "hidden luck". [...] Yet, you are claiming that the importance of skill...

I asked why the ratio of premium players to standard players in the top 100 is much more than the general ratio amongst them? Your initial answer was basically "because good players equal premium players". Now you are changing your answer to "Because they have a clear advantage desig...

Yes, the rules say the game is over when the first player has reached the goal and that player wins. So it can't be tie. You could only house-rule that. Same with playing for 2nd.

Do you think your answers can explain difference between 5% and 60%? Yeah, i think it can explain the big gap. Motivation to pay for premium (or contribute to get it for free) is that much higher on very active and skilled players. You don't buy premium when you're just checking out the platform or...

Someone asked me this, and I will ask it here: Why the ratio of premium players to standard accounts in the first 100 players, is much higher than the general ratio of premium accounts to standard accounts? Probably a mix of these: very active players are more likely to get a premium subscription v...

The dice decide this. when you take big risks, you often l...

Developers are mostly volunteers, anyone can pick it up but there is noadding it to someones list

well... they can hire a developer and then put it on their list. maybe that's what they meant

yes, I realize it's 500 games. That is why I went back and found out my rate over ALL the games. May I ask how you did this? Seems a lot of effort to do this by hand for almost 4000 games. However if you did so I guess you have collected the data per game. Could you put this in a table with the lin...

I assume they wouldn't have done that if they were winning. But I can very well imagine they wanted the game to be even faster than it was and that playing a role in their decision to not letting their opponent have the win.
