Hi, since there's no topics I'll propose a discussion about this underplayed game.
So, as you might have noticed ELO IS NOT VERY WELL BALANCED IN SECRET MOON. If you dont agree, please read the following tale:
So, player X* was playing his first game ever, asking questions and learning (and enjoying) like I had done not a week before. He actually ended in first place because he was always on the winning team. Now, dont get me wrong. He winned the game fair and square, call it chance or whatever you want. I'm not putting THAT in question. This is actually really nice.
But, then, his ELO shot straight up from a round 0 to around 140! Now, we are not talking about an experienced player who just happened to be playing on BGA for the first time, but someone who was partly learning it as he was playing. In which game have you seen this happen before? I understand that happened because he won a game against 7 other players, each one with an ELO above 100, which makes it more significant and affects the rate by which ELO is calculated. Even so, it actually had to be comparable to winning a one on one game against a strong oponnent and not like he killed all the uchiha clan before graduating from the academy.
Commenting on it later, other players also said that the ELO drops considerably when you loose.
So there you have it. Please, tell me your opinion and any related storys.
*really hope there's no one logged with this name in bga.
