Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Many games still use SBMM in casual modes, they just don'tshow you what your elo equivalent is. As long as they generally all play together, the average skill of the group will hit equilibrium far faster with the smurf account than with the original one. There's really no good answer here, but in this case at least the friends get a play session where they can participate meaningfully, even if they get a lot of wins they don't deserve, and the opponents get one bad game. The alternative is the friends are crushed almost every game they play together, and the opponents get one easy game.
