I'm high 1700's score, it's not worth playing in 1600's table with avg score of player 1700, I only get points on 1st or 2nd... Why can't we have some 1700 tables too?

at 3:50 PM, Thursday March 15, 2007 EDT Please bring them back (Assuming that I can get back there). Is this because there are not enough 1700 players to justify the tables?

at 6:47 PM, Thursday March 15, 2007 EDT The tables are automatically defined in increments of 100 based on two things, the top table is the table with atleast 250 users above that rating, and the second teir so to speak is the one with 1000 users above it, so when 1000 users are above 1700 we will get those tables back. 1500 and 0 of course, are always available. Stoud, the problem with that idea, is the difference in the top 25 as it is currently defined is vast, why would 2100 play with 1600, because now 1600 can be a viable rating in the top 25. Not to mention that requires waiting for over a fourth of the top 25 to be on, and with them coming from many different time zones, and many not wanting to use their high accounts, this table would in fact receive very little action, similar to the old 2100 tables.

at 8:43 PM, Thursday March 15, 2007 EDT I would hate to see elitist tables like that.
It would get to be too much of a play style that would suck... (are you in the club?... basically) and it would make it impossible for other players to climb to the top 25 because the top 25 would just constantly be reaping rank points off each other. The way it is now there are 2,000 or even 2,100 elo (man quiz, you're nuts) players that play with 1900s and some 1800s and that's the way it should be. If people organize to get together on a table, that's fine - leave it at that. Otherwise the rich get richer the poor get poorer. And the top 25 should be fun cuz people strive to get on it. It shouldnt be a club where those who get in get a boost in staying in - if you catch my drift. |

at 11:05 PM, Thursday March 15, 2007 EDT Well CoMik if that's a magic formula (250/1000) that makes sense, so be it...
It seems to me that if it takes 250 to "form a market" for 1800 games, that if there are 500 users above 1700 an equal market exists. Maybe its just an anomoly due to strange shape of user scores due to artificial factors, and over time it'll get worked out statistically. |

at 4:45 AM, Friday March 16, 2007 EDT I'm not sure this 250/1000 scheme is used.
I remember in the past 1500, 1700, 1900 tables, but no 1600. |

at 6:55 AM, Friday March 16, 2007 EDT I think this empty holes are not a good idea.
Why? Because while there were 1700 tables it was easier for peeople to get to 1800, as now if there wasn't. It taints the scores! |

at 7:08 AM, Friday March 16, 2007 EDT I once saw PowerSlug in a 1800 table showing the door to players below 1900. He wanted a 1900 only game. Ha ha! How cute. ^_^
People, you want more tables, recommend this site (preferably to people with paypal and credit card, and eager to gain a star). What we need is more players. I'll give it the thumbs up in StumbleUpon... |
