Battleships pro

[TrIv]

My suggestion is to remove elo all together, I don't care about it and I do not brag (drew). 80% of my games it just me and Hooded_Beauty playing together, two people is not stacking every game. Yes I used to care back when elo was introduced into bships. We play to have fun and get all these hater aka's after us thinking them beating us will piss us off, well bring it we aren't afraid and want the challenge. So again, Remove elo system from battleships so we can go on enjoying a competitive game that is turning into a flame war between old school shippers.

Could just add a non-autobalance bot although apparently bships is <1k games / month so there could be issues with filling two bots.

iirc peps_bot isn't autobalance.

It's interesting seeing all these players here, as typically 99% of games are Filipino players who don't speak english.

It's quite possible to ban game ruining (technically everyone who does this should be reported and banned) and akas are part of the game.

Oh they know how to speak/understand English but they're a bunch of kids who doesn't care if others understand them or not.
I would vote for removal of ELO system from ships. ENT has revived this dead game but I'd rather play it just like 5 years ago. Competitive games without elo.

I am not sure whether the problem here is actually a question of more balanced game based on skill (individual skill) or teamwork (communication skill)... Off topic imba.

Removal of elo has been discussed previously and the idea was not effective enough to achieve the hypothesis you guys predict.

An autobal bot is on trial to balance the game to some extent based on elo. Do report whether this idea is positive or negative on the other thread.
