Calling someone stupid and then losing makes you look way more stupid, Crash_22. Be a lamb and watch your tongue next time.

Just look at his 4.2 rating and that is all you need to know about a person like him

4.6 should probably be the lowest any levels out of--if not there are some kind of issues somewhere

Hell look at me--how many players have I called dumb ass or cursed at over the years--very many--usually I get a low rating from it--but I don't care and I hate bad play----bad play just wastes time. All that being said and 196 foes and I still have a 4.8 rating--probably should be lower--lol. So anyone with a low low like I 4.2 rating has social, mental, and real life issues most likely outside of CC. Just an observation and guess--I don't know or do I care to know anyone with that low of a rating.

See you in round 13!

Love the number-crunchers but must opine (negatively) that escalating has very little to do with skill and so results are skewed due to high usage of escalating spoils.

Appreciate posting of such data, big up the nerds!

Not sure I understand your point: Are you saying that escalating spoils cause more people to be eliminated each round? Less people? I don't see how escalating would have an effect on the rate people are eliminated at.

Any news for the bounty quizz ?

Who said that?

Just meant that I think escalating makes the elimination due to skill less. ie the skill differential you mentioned earlier is, I believe, less valid when using escalating spoils. Just a hunch and I've no evidence whatsoever! I've never trusted escalating...

Haha, I appreciate your point. But even if escalating games decrease the effect of skill, it would still be in line with my reasoning. For there would still be some effect of skill. So maybe in a no spoils tourney of this type, you'd see and even lower survival rate, but as the players' skill level converges, that would still tend toward the 87.5% that it "should" be.

I don't necessarily agree with you on your escalating spoils hunch. But neither do I have any evidence to back that up. Hell, what I made in the first place was just a prediction, which by definition has no evidence. I'm waiting for the evidence to come in!

I advance to round 13. Game 10017478

Im anxiously awaiting that too Chances of me winning it is extremely slim, but I dont want to grab the Might game with an opponent for game 3 until I know for sure that I failed miserably again
