ERROR? Games won in friendly mode count as lost in the profile

[Wendigo_Astur]

Games in friendly mode count as lost in the profile even if they have been won...

We are 3 family members who just started playing this week and we don't understand what's happening.

Is it a mistake or is there some explanation?

I can understand that the friendly games were not taken into account, but from there to scoring them as lost there is a big difference.

As I mentioned, we just started and since we were not very clear if it was a mistake or on purpose, I posted it in this forum.

Thanks in advance.

Yep I also noticed this long time ago. It's a bit annoying especially when you try out a game in local mode and give it up after some time/testing. It counts as loss. I would appriciate a change, it somehow screws the stats.

Thanks for the response.

So it is an unsolved error... and a big one i think!

Really weird that it is still not solved since exists from "a long time ago".

UPDATE: I just made a suggestion about it, waiting for the developers to review it

Its an arbitrary number on your stats which most players don't know exists. Fixing it won't be a high priority. I gave you an upvote but don't expect anything any time soon (I think there is some long term benefit to improving friendly mode but also think that you need to be realistic about what you are asking for).

They don't count as lost, they count as not won, which is different.

I understand, but it is so confusing right now, i am sure a better and clear way is possible.

Obviously critical stuff must go first, just pointing one thing to do in a future.

In my opinion... the best thing the site can do about friendly games... IS TO NOT TAKE FRIENDLY (EX-TRAINING) GAMES INTO CONSIDERATION AT ALL: neither for the total nr. of games played, nor for the nr. of wins (out of the total nr. of games played).

The way it's now... your wins-ratio in a certain boardgame drops unnecessarily if you play many friendly games, despite winning them or not.

Doesn't make any sense, but I hope they change this.
