Your elo really took a beating since Friday.

Well, mine has just gone up a bit...

Game: 10x0 9387-5;.....  Game stats: 24/2/8.3%/2068;.....  Player Elo: 2278.538 ▲ 1.848.

Wow. I didn't win it,  but check out those stats

Sorry, You Lose

Mode: Streak

Game: 9x2 914-5

Elapsed: 11:10

Game stats: 135/1/0.7%

Elo: 1797.176 ▼-0.896

Streak was: 4

Didn't win this one, either, but thought I had it 'til I blew it at the end.  (And had NO idea it would have these kinds of numbers.)  That said.............it *is* a very difficult game, and to have it placed in the climate 5 pile is just a miscarriage of justice

Game: 6x4 11280-5;.....  Game stats: 79/3/3.8%/2115.543;.....  Player Elo: 2253.85 ▲ 2.516.

Good one.  That helps my 'Elo' recovery.  Thank to you, DoC!

Nice one to win. Very interesting game.

Another one of those "...but I just banged this one out! Now I'll probably fail a 93% solve rate game."

Snap!

Game: 10x0 27589-5;.....  Game stats: 19/4/21.1%/1893;.....  Player Elo: 2280.361 ▲ 0.78.

Gosh, two in a row:

Game: 10x0 31463-5;.....  Game stats: 25/3/12%/2063;.....  Player Elo: 2282.145 ▲ 1.785.

This one helps make up for my stupid loss of my first game today (misread my own notes, grrrr):

Game: 7x3 19425-5;.....  Game stats: 48/3/6.3%/2057;.....  Player Elo: 2248.672 ▲ 2.01.

Game: 10x1 21230-6;.....  Game stats: 11/2/18.2%/1793;.....  Player Elo: 2285.976 ▲ 0.444.

This was by far my most difficult game so far today!

And it remains seldom won!

WOW, this is definitely one of my best ever:

Game: 8x3 5617-10;.....  Game stats: 146/2/1.4%/2284;.....  Player Elo: 2254.745 ▲ 4.387.

Help -- I'm in severe pain from overuse!!

Another such 11x1!

Game: 6x5 28626-8;.....  Game stats: 11/2/18.2%/1919;.....  Player Elo: 2288.328 ▲ 0.855.

Ouch, these difficult games are keeping me up past my bedtime.

Game: 5x7 27794-6;.....  Game stats: 48/3/6.3%/2066;.....  Player Elo: 2266.485 ▲ 1.933.

This was definitely a VERY difficult game!  I must have re-dealt my cards at least 6 times.

"6", he says.  Try 9 - and that's not counting the "mini-shuffles" where he just backs up a move or two.  If you count each reversal or backtracking........had to be over 50.  Maybe 100. [I'm only a deck of cards.......so counting above 13 gets problematic for me.]

you know what the only conclusion i've come to after years of this shit? that tony is a decent person and you are not.

Thanks ix!  I appreciate that!

TitanicTony has a "split personality".  I'm his better half (LOL)!

I'm not sure that 2/10 qualifies as "seldom", but what the heck:

Game: 7x4 6091-7;.....  Game stats: 11/3/27.3%/1745;.....  Player Elo: 2268.126 ▲ 0.376.

I'll take it. Clearing a column wasn't a problem. Felt like a 20 minute game!

Game: 8x2 32170-5;.....  Game stats: 39/5/12.8%/1925;.....  Player Elo: 2302.279 ▲ 0.821.

Thank you ix. It done my heart good to see that today. Missed it before. I don't read a lot of threads. And I saw several have been added to the blues fix thread but after my last post, I left it behind. The sanctimoniousness. Don't know if or when I'll look at it. But someone does need a taste of their own medicine. In spades. You are smart to not bother and I salute you for Nov 3 because sometimes, silence implies approval.

ix -- I briefly pondered crafting a response to this but decided to leave it alone. However, now that you have received response, I'd suggest you consider who is applauding your comments and what that might mean.
