So you decide that the designers made a mistake? Or did they admit to having made a mistake? I would love to read that. Well, eoc was careful to write "here's my opinion" We players all have opinions about games :) Yeah, opinions are great. And welcome. Allthough I find the starvation-bas...

Well, being unaware of a mistake you made doesn't mean it didn't happen, so here's my opinion: they definitely did make a mistake, and that mistake was framing the lack of food as penalty (if you cannot entirely feed your tribe) instead of a bonus (if you managed to). Thematically there have been s...

I think the designers made a mistake in allowing people to be starved. Following that strategy tends to alienate the other players in a game and puts them off playing Stone Age. I am not against using resources instead of food as it could be seen to represent bartering those resources for food. How...

So what is your problem exactly?

When you are a beginner, this top is like a goal, a line to achieve but if the line seems to far and the people who are on it absent, they won't play. If they don't play = less players.

ELO rating is to say how good you are at the game, not how frequently you play. If you want to increase your rating then get better at winning. Not surprisingly this is EXACTLY what all the people above you in ELO have done. You can still play active players and gain ELO rating points. If you don't...

Of course once or twice a day. You don't loose all your points... only 10. Enough to put you out of top 10 if you play turtle. May be you are on many games, but you can't keep the top for yourself if you don't play the game enough to get challenged. One or twice a day is way too much. One or twice ...
