Getting to Know User Statistics
You create a new game room. You set the settings to the ones that you love, and wait for players. After a few moments, multiple players joined. Obviously, the community is large enough, and you are probably not familiar with them. But keep the worries away - User Statistics has got you covered.
What are User Statistics?
User statistics are multiple measures that every player on Richup has. They help you understand the nature of your opponents and estimate your actual chance of winning a game against them.
To view any user's statistics, hop on to their profile. That could be easily done by clicking their name or profile picture everywhere on Richup.
Let's review the available statistics.
Karma Points
Karma points are like a reputation for players. They help you determine how serious a player is. Players with higher Karma are more likely to play seriously and not troll or grief games.
Karma is earned for finishing games, whether you win or go bankrupt. Ideally, one should only earn Karma points by playing games as normal.
When a player disconnects in the middle of a game or gets vote-kicked from a game, they lose Karma.
Winning Rate
Luck plays a major role on the game board of Richup, but that won't be enough without good strategies. The Winning Rate reflects the games in which a player has won. This measure increases with every win.
Games Played
Some players go into lots of practice, and they have most likely upskilled with multiple strategies and approaches. This measure helps you identify these well-trained players. They would probably make for a very interesting, learning experience when you play with them.
Last Games History
Richup has multiple game rules you can configure, and every combination makes for a different strategy and experience. By exploring a player's game history, you'll be able to learn all about their practices, rules that are frequently used, the usual duration of their games, and more.
Note that the history of private games is only visible to the players who have participated in those games.
Bonus: Not all games are created equal
In order to prevent farming and abuse, not all games count toward a player's statistics. Games have to stand in various requirements in order for their results to be counted towards the statistics of their participants. Even so, you shouldn't worry since your statistics will be updated when you play normally, without attempting to abuse games.
We hope you now have a better grasp of the different statistics about players. Have a great time playing your future games!
