thanks arctic pinguin for at least one serious answer. So you mean that although I won by points, both "not quitters" (eellzzss and me) are treated equal, because Instant Moniker quit? Should be more points for both of us nevertheless, because he has the highest rating. But as Shecantsayno correctly mentioned: Of the many roads leading to insanity....
Yeah, and it has to be this way - you can very often be in a much player position than another player even if they have more points than you - think about a player who opens Estate/Estate/Estate/Estate. You will beat them essentially every time, but if a third player quits on turn 4, they will have more points than you....
As for why it's only 2 points... well, one thing is that it's shared 1st, which I think it is treating like you tied with the other guy, which it probably shouldn't. So my 'it has to be this way' is maybe not entirely right - the thing that "has to be this way" is that you can't get awarded a win over the guy you were left in the game with just for having more points on game-end. But you probably also shouldn't naturally have it thrown at you that you did equally well as him, because who knows, maybe you really were crushing him. The software doesn't exist to be smart enough to know that though; it's beyond reasonable programming capacities, I think, because it requires an actually good AI, which hasn't really been made for this game, and beyond that actually, it would need to know how you would play the game out, and well, that's obviously unrealistic.
The last thing I would note is that what MF displays is not actually what they have down as your rating (in terms of how strong they think you are), but that number MINUS some uncertainty number. So there are a few things in that which can hurt you here. (I'm going to simplify this a bit because most people don't want a small lecture on Graphical Models). If you don't play often, your uncertainty number might be really high. In that case, and if your opponents' uncertainty numbers were much lower, then it might actually think you're much better than the other players (despite you having similar displayed ratings), thus giving you not so much credit (and having your tie with the other guy penalize you more than you might think). The other thing would be if at least one of those players had really high uncertainty, your rating might not move much at all. Did you get before-and-after rating numbers for both of them? Probably not - it's pretty hard to get afters sometimes, and you could easily not get befores in some cases, too.
