That just isnt true. Twenty games is a ton under the ELO system. Nor can ELO be meaningfully manipulated. However, your point that ELO is never coming to Outwitters is apparently 100% correct, and wins the ELO argument, so the real issue is whether OML needs to admit that a lot more people are a lot unhappier and more puzzled than they anticipated, and provide more guidance on how the current system works and what you can expect.
