Lucky for spamite he can make a new account, huh?

Don't you remember the 2000 tables that never filled up?

Its much harder now to get a 2000 rating now. Most people with 2000 earned it when it was twice as easy to.

The solution is to get more people with higher ratings. I have thought about trimming all acounts over 2000 to 1999. Instead just even out with 1900 players and then try to exel.

Besides the point of the rating is that a 2100 player is better than a 1900 player. Let ELO do its thing.

I didn't bring this idea out of nowhere... 1900 is kind of easy and there is not the chalange of the old 2000 tables and if you even read my post I think it would be good for the game because 1900 would be playing to get to 2100 and 2100 would be playing for high score ... I don't know if it would last long but there would be a boost of player in the higher tables.

Sure, we would feel more comfortable play our 2000+ account at a higher table but the more common thing that happened with 2000 tables is that we don't play to avoid the risk of dropping out of 2000.

The argument swings both ways.

Players that have sat with 2100 for the past couple weeks actually have a true rating of 1800 based on the current rating system. So if you have a high rating expect it to drop until things even out a bit. Another way to put is that new players that have an 2000 rating would have a 2500 rating in the old system. In other words they are playing more and winning more.
What happened in the first few weeks of the game is that people got a high rating and were too scared to lose it so they stopped playing with that account. This is a time when strategies weren't well defined and therefore their rating is not necessarily accurate.


The game has been running for just over 30 days. The rating system is going to be up and down for a while. But it will stabilize. People sitting on high ratings is a temporary problem.

rather than the decay of score i propose a elo reset once we're sure about how score should be taken. If this is now im all fair with a reset at any given time.

I still rather agree with jtav. When there were 2000 tables I always found someone to play; today there were hardly ever someone at the 1900 tables. So until "ELO did its thing" and the temporary problem vanished, pls give us just one 2100/2200 table. Mainly because I miss my buddies ;). Btw I posted an idea to have the table limits steady, but after reading this I suppose it would screw the rating system.?!?

All the table limits are idiotic.

John please enlighten us with your wisdom. Why are they idiotic?

A total reset may be a good idea once features stabilize.

I understand you miss your friends at 2100 tables. But since there are not many 1900 tables playing, couldn't you meet them there?

actually I agree with the reset ... that would be really exiting and I'm sure all the good player will find their way there.
