I've played 38 triples games and won 35 of em, (92.1%). So you'd think I would keep playing them since I've had so much success right? But I've stopped playing those triples games because it really just feels like stealing points to me.
play 38 trips games vs me. Im positive you wont win 92%. it will be 50-50 which is the exact odds anybody has playing me. the rank does not matter. luck/dice/and the drop are the 3 keys elements. it has nothing to do with whom you play.

3 vs 3 = 50%

no matter how you look at it

if you want to throw in missed turns and lack of experience with players in team games, which also effects singles games, than lets look at players forming alliances on singles games. players who form alliances will have a higher percentage than those who dont. terminator and assain games are also played differently. you can win more points in a terminator game and still lose the game. you can win an assain game if the other player eliminates the wrong player. should we key in these facts for percentages for singles ?

So you are saying you would beat maniacmath and 2 other skilled and well coordinated team members just as often as you would beat 3 new recruits who don't understand the game, don't communicate and miss turns much more frequently? :roll:

The biggest difference between singles and team games in my opinion was that in team games you could play with only one opposing team...since that was never possible in singles until very recently, there was a greater discrepancy between the two styles than there is now.

But as MM17 has said, team games will always have a higher win percentage, even when compared to the best in singles 1v1 matches. There are just more advantages to having a well coordinated team against disorganized players (you can all plan to play at the same time, or coordinate attacks which is of course impossible in a 1v1 singles game). That is no fault to the well coordinated teams of course....the fact that they play well together is what wins them the games and rightfully so. It's just easier (for most) than winning points in singles games, and everyone here knows it. Any bit of knowledge of the scoreboard on this site since its inception will tell you that it's true (ie the majority of members at the top play mostly team games).

I never said id win 92% vs you, the point was it's easy to gain points if you get an experienced triples team together because there are many examples of players who have gotten near the top of the scoreboard using that method.

Now if the percentages were as equal as you say they are, wouldn't you see just as many singles players at the top?
