Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
"You cannot win ELO from teammates on a loss"
-
• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
Coup is an example of a game with losers_not_ranked. Here are Elo calculations for a table of Coup: imgur.com/a/5WPXjTR
Note that for Victor Araujo, there is a message saying "You cannot win ELO from teammates on a loss". This text is incorrect and confusing - Victor Araujo has no teammates in this game. The text refers to the fact that with losers_not_ranked = true, a player who loses cannot net gain Elo, after all other calculations are completed, the result is capped at +0.
(IMO this is a highly faulty way to do it, which I have reported here: boardgamearena.com/bug?id=115682 But regardless, the message is wrong too).
