Board Game Arena

I have another wingspan expert account (elo 550+). However, I gain skill while playing so the win rate is not really as high.
Therefore, I started an alt account to try going for wingspan expert again.
I mainly played on Arena mode because I would like to reduce luck factor(although at one point I was very unlucky and lose a lot of games in a row).

Here is the stat after I played 104 games:
104 Games
80 Victories
78% wins

On game stat, as I only played wingspan, so it helped me aggregated without buying premium lol
Average score: 92.1
ELO points won: 545

I think I tied once and quit game twice when I had some emergency. But seems like 80% win rate is more or less a wingspan expert level player can get. (1v1 mode).

Thinking should I try out the same experiment with 3p mode but I guess it will take way longer.
I would appreciate if the game can offer stat like last 100 matches stat.

Nice stats mate. Hope you surpass the current top 1 Zibest

Haha I think that's just out of my league
elo 500 and closed to 700 is still very different

This kind of thing ruins the website for everyone else. Can you have multiple accounts?

Probably not. I found this: https://boardgamearena.com/doc/multipleaccounts

That page expressly says at the bottom: "This page comes from BGA wiki, and has been written by BGA players community. Feel free to edit it!" In other words, that page itself is not a formal statement of BGA's position. It is only BGA players' interpretation of what they think BGA's position is.

One thing that is uncontroversial: you cannot control multiple accounts to play against each other to boost one of them. There is no indication that the OP did this. I've yet to see any evidence of anyone ever being punished merely for having multiple accounts, notwithstanding what you may find in the Terms of Use, Terms of Service, FAQ, or other source.

BGA Terms of Use:

VII. Guarantees - Liability
• not to create several Accounts: the User undertakes to create only one Account corresponding to them. If BGA deletes a User's Account in the event of non-compliance with these Player G.T.S., the User undertakes not to create another Account without prior authorisation from BGA;

VIII. Fair Play
BGA will not tolerate any cheating and/or lack of fair play, whether through the use of cheating software, analysis of communication protocols or code, use of multiple Accounts, collusion with other Users, leaving the game before its normal end, use of game blocking tactics in order to force other Users to quit, or the use of obscene or foul language, etc.
Any User caught cheating or failing to meet their fair play obligations will receive a warning and then be subject to one of the following sanctions at the discretion of BGA:
◦ freezing of the Account,
◦ resetting of scores and rankings,
◦ suspension of Services,
◦ or even the outright deletion of their Account.
Violation by the User of the rules of conduct or the essential rules of fair play may have consequences for the User's reputation on the Player Site, under the terms and conditions specified in the Privacy Policy.

"A secondary account that ONLY plays in Friendly Mode is permitted (so that players may use these to create tutorials, etc)."

I've now seen one instance of someone being punished merely for having multiple accounts playing in non-Friendly mode.

This experiment gives me hope that it may truly be possible to intentionally win at Wingspan … because for me to date, it seems difficult. True … I don’t have 104 games played yet, but I’m still waiting for the learning to start.

FWIW - it doesn’t seem to me you were doing anything nefarious. I’d ignore all this account feedback noise.
