Why is it that every time I win a game of Yahtzee I win 6 or 7 pts of elo, but every time that I lose a game of Yahtzee I lose 11-13 pts and my opponent gains 11-13? It does not matter what the elo of my opponent is, higher or lower. This happens 100% of the time. I do not have this issue in other games.

https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=889408531 You mean like this game where you got +11 for winning?
https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=852775322 Or this one where you only lost 7 for losing?

Where are these magic games where elo does not affect this?

Where are they? You show me. You had to dig through my entire log history to find 2 little exceptions? You didn't see the dozens upon dozens that show the truth?

Don't bother replying if you only want to be a troll.

*** you thought other users couldn't check your game history? As you can see, the jig is up. I already gave two examples ***, and as expected you continue making things up while avoiding evidence as much as you can. Though even users who didn't bother checking your profile could probably tell you were being shady given you never gave even one example.

Stop being a goof. Hyperbole is not lying. So yea, a handful of instances have not aligned with my claim, but over 95% do.

You catch some little technicality and need to prove to everyone (and to yourself) that you're just a better person than I, proven by the name-calling that you instantly jump to, which speaks volumes to your (lack of) self-esteem. Don't take out your self-hate on me because you're not fooling me. As you say, your gig is up.

Oh, and if you want to trade insults, you'll lose. Just warning you before you embarrass yourself.

And that's why you've avoided giving us even one example of what you claimed happening? Yeah, sure.

For those that don't want to bother checking the OP's account, it's what you'd expect. They win 10 points for victory and lose 10 points for defeat in a 1 v 1 vs a roughly evenly rated opponent, with the numbers shifting accordingly when it's not so even. Someone winning with +6 wins is beating up on lower rated players, or I suppose getting beat up by them in the -13 case. While +6 wins pair with -14 losses here rather than -13, a difference of 1 can be accounted for just by rounding and truncation issues, or just a minor rating gap difference in the players that caused it.

Cool story, bro.

Hmm... Yes. ***. Try using it in advertising, wherever proper laws against false advertising are enforced.

And saying "I'm literally starvirg" is most often lying twice. Once because you're not starving, just hungry. OK, let's accept hyperbole and call it figurative speech instead... But then you say "literally", when it's obviously not literal, so double lie. And two lies don't make it a truth.

In your case you said "every time", and then you said that it "happens 100% of the time" to emphasize it (your "literally").

Me, I'm generous. After I showed them that their 100% was obviously wrong, if they had shown anything to indicate they weren't just making things up, I could see a case for an honest mistake or something. But nah, it looks like they're just lying. It's sad, really.

It's easy to say any numbers you want when you never have to back them up. Why not say it's actually 950% of your trillions of games? As for the real world though, so far you haven't even shown it's above 0%. Don't worry, I've already predicted you won't give any real examples of this thread's claim actually happening in any future posts either.
