But to clerify myself in case you can't read, I was not whining - I was giving some example of why I personally do not think the idea would work. I love to see new and different ideas - and I would be happy to talk about any other idea (or more about this one).
So Chuc, you are saying if you are at 50 games, and if are unable to accept more games - you would be OK with losing rating points. That is fine, that is your choice. But please don't accuse me of whining for trying to point out some example of why I do not think it would work too well.
(it's called a discussion - to just say "i don't like it" without explaining why would not help anyone.) Do you understand now?
The point I was making is that if you have 50 games going, only one of those 50 games per month (undr the suggestion by Scooter) would have to be by someone rated below you. It sounds to me like it would not affect someone playing many games at all. It is a system in attempt to get rid of high ranked players who do not play any games at all in order to keep their name at the top of the leader board. Some people come here win a few games with the right people, get a high ranking, and leave, never to play again. I recently invited a player ranked slightly higher than me, who has only 5 games to his credit, to a game of Reversi. He declined the invitation. This type of system would force players like this to play at least one game a month, if invited, or lose some standing on the leader board. It would not effect active players like yourself at all. Sorry if you felt personally attacked by my previous post, I just didn't think your reasoning had any merit. I am sorry.
(hide) If you want to play a game with an opponent of a similar level, you can define a required BKR range for a new game invitation. Then nobody with a BKR outside this range will be able to see/accept it. (Katechka) (show all tips)
