Yes, in the scenario where multiple games are played at a time more games are played against the base level. This has been clear the whole time. That difference is still not that much though (you make it seem like it is with those numbers I assume you pulled out of your ass). So to return to the original point of our conversation, how is it so clear to you that the difference between my opponent list, and the player´s list I was comparing mine to, was the amount of games played at a time? (by the way, I´m fairly certain he had 5 games going on also). As a reminder, his 2nd game was against a 1700 rated player and he played only total of 2 games against lower than 1500. Mine 12th was against 1800 and 9 games against lower than 1500.

Edit: my 12th opponent was at the time in the 17 hundreds so he indeed is a good comparison.

Yes, when I say "just for the sake of the argument" what I mean is that I pull it out of my ass.

This has been clear the whole time.
hm...

Also you have edited your posts, so I was never able to see which player you are comparing yourself to.

You haven´t been able to see which player I´m talking about since I haven´t written it here. I guess I could but there is a chance the player in question does not want his ladder record to be a part of a conversation on the forum. I send his nick to you in private mail though so you can take a look.

And why I believe he played 5 games at a time too then is because: he finished games quickly then, during August I remember seeing him playing 5 games at a time and because he is still playing 5 games at a time.

@Norman: It´s been a week and you haven´t responded to me either here or in private so I assume you don´t want to open up your reasoning about what I asked.

he´s first opponents could have had there ratings rise after he played them

Sorry, I don't know why PlayYourBest in particularly has managed to climb way faster than you. All I wanted to say is that playing multiple simultaneous games decreases your climbing speed in terms of needed games. As for PlayYourBest I guess he got lucky to get paired into a then low ranked M'Hunter who was also climbing and thus kept making his victory more valuable.

Njord is most likely right.

It´s actually the other way around since from the first 5 opponents, one player has come down 300 points. The others are fairly even overall, some have risen a little, some have fallen a little.

"I guess he got lucky to get paired into a then low ranked M'Hunter who was also climbing and thus kept making his victory more valuable. "

Not sure who you mean. The two M'Hunters he played are about the same now as they were then.
