My score has gone from 1515 to 1085 simply because I have had to quit games that locked up and units would not move. Anybody know how to cut back on lag?

Use a wired internet connection
Remove sources of interference (microwaves, large metal objects, other wireless devices)
Get a faster internet connection from your ISP
Reduce graphics settings
Ensure that Stick Empires is one of the only windows open
Get a faster computer

I think you might tie with Frost at this rate.

Frost is 609 in normal and 1200 in DM. That averages at 904.5

This guy is 1936 in normal and 399 in DM. That averages to 1167.5

Frost is still lower, but this guy is still pretty low regardless.

Fr0st never played DM though. I was just showing this guy's dedication to lose lol. A month ago he was at 500 Classic.

True. But wow, that's pretty hardcore. At some point, it's gotta get to losing zero elo because of rounding. I can only imagine how much rating he would gain if he won a game against someone who had a normal elo rating.

It caps at 32 for how much you can earn per match.
