How I'm not Guru for Beyond the sun. I played 82 games in 1 season (mostly 3 and some 4 players) and ended up 4th in arena. Is this a feature basically for fast 2-player game-players (guess what they vote for) or do I miss something?

We missed these ones => fixed.
Too late to change Cinco this season based on the tiny poll I made? (Outcome... 2 players, Joker enabled. Sample size: 3 votes :P)

For example, last season in Oh Hell a new developer created new options for the game. Some users had personal preferences set that would change the format of the arena games. It was really inconsistent to play, and I think it fractured the community.
Een has talked about this here:

Guess 40 games (counting from June 7th) weren't enough to be 'one of the most active players' then...

Well im guru now but don't want to wait for next season :(
For Rallyman, all the "Continue with current setup" choice on the poll has been the most voted so we kept the current.

The current choice is based on most active players (most games played - not only for Arena). However, it is highly probable that we are going to upgrade this little by little to make sure all the most involved players are on it. What is for sure is that for the most popular games, you will really have to play a lot to be Gurus.

I am surprised I am not a guru for Battle of Lits in that case ...

Or are there no gurus for games where there are no different game options?

But just counting games isn't the best way. A lot of games are way faster when played with 2 players than with 3+. So I hope you mean that when you talk about 'upgrading' the system.

I am a bit lost. How do I check if I am a guru at a specific game? Thanks in advance!

2 803 Games at Tokaido and I do not see I belong to any group called Tokaido's gurus. Is that right or do I have to check it somewhere else? Thanks in advance!
