How can we overcome Hanabi "ELO cheats"?

"This player does not exist or closed his/her account"

Alongside the red banner

"Callback error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'className' of null"

Had this come up for another player today too, yet I can verify they still exist having played a game with them. I can access other players pages, and also checked in a different browser, same happens. I don't like unsolved mysteries, I need a bunch of meddling kids to come along and solve it please! #scoobydoowhereareyou?

Hanabi ratings are off anyway. You could play a very easy deck horribly, get a perfect score, and increase in ELO. You could play a very hard deck flawlessly, get a below average score, and decrease in ELO. In theory, rated Hanabi games should be team vs team with the same deck.

Most games have an element of luck factor in it, same with Hanabi.

The question is: are you and your partner(s) able to consistently score the highest possible score on every deck over the long run?
