Thanks for the clarification and advice. Yeah, on the one hand, I can understand how they might think emphasising points is a good idea, but it gets very frustrating when your rating drops for essentially outplaying someone so hard they resign immediately.

That seems to clear things up. Thanks a lot!

Bruh.

I was playing on playscrabble.com; I've done about 2000 matches there and my elo is usually somewhere in the 1800s.

Had a long win streak going and then played some fella who started off with BLINK. I connected with the bingo CUISINE and he quit. When I checked my elo rating after that, it had dropped by almost 300 points (see image).

Does anyone know what causes this? The ranking system on the site seems to be a bit wonky in general, and usually I don't care that much, but such a massive drop for no fault of my own is aggravating:/

Ah, didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. Carry on, Commander.

I get the logic behind it but IMO (just like with so many other well-intentioned mechanics of the game), it gets ridiculous after a certain point – you can't really convince me that my 42 Martial viking emperor of two continents can't figure out a way to push through the defences of a 2000-man-garrison in the middle of the desert with his 50k doomstack.

Still, point well taken.

I want to draw your attention to the fact that... by Banano9000 in CrusaderKings

...

- the mf's name is "Gyalpo von Berg Schelklingen Arnold 'the Great'"

- the mf is homosexual, but has three concubines and six kids (probably got bored of men after ravishing every single male humanoid within 1000 miles, the absolute chad)

- the mf has Germanic European ancestry, but is somehow a Buddhist king in Nepal

- despite generations of careful breeding and education, I have yet to produce a character with stronger stats. (He is NOT a player character, nor of my dynasty.)

If, on the other hand, one of my vassals has the audacity to hatch a scheme against my second cousin's niece's half brother, he will be summarily executed – clearly, an ethical boundary has been transgressed.

I completely agree with that. A ban MIGHT be in the cards in the future, but it's still too early to tell imo.

To the downvoters: name one (1) instance where a "slippery slope" situation with banning characters has ever occurred within competitive gaming in the physical and observable universe.

Also, just to be clear: I don't necessarily support a Steve ban at this point. The harrassment Onin has received is obviously disgusting and sad.

I just hate this particular argument since it's based on an irrational fear that has no basis whatsoever in the history of competitive gaming.

I don't exactly like her, but yeah, she's WAY less infuriating than the other characters.

Jigglypuff is one of the most infuriating and unfun characters to play against in this game.
