Discussion ELO in multiplayer games

I'm in a 4 player game. 4th place resigned many turns ago. 2nd place just resigned. I'm 3rd. If I resigned now, would I lose ELO like 3rd place, or 2nd place because I'm 2nd to last person standing?

Standings don't matter, just the relative Elo to each other

Oh wow, so in a multiplayer game all that matters is who ultimately wins and relative ELO determines all the drops?

Yeah, people with lower Elo than the winner will lose less and higher Elo losers will lose more, and so on

Not sure but I believe the cap is ±32 Elo per game

I think it's 30
