WadmasterD plays one day games with no timeback and preys on anyone who goes a minute over. Very few legitimate wins.
Does the rating take that into consideration? Pretty cheap way to ge ...[text shortened]... o me - no big deal - but in looking at his public games - most of his wins are through timeouts.
Originally posted by PhlabibitWhat pissed me off is he wouldnt rematch. He wanted to take a cheap win and then go hide.

TOO FUNNY ! A 1000 rated player saying a 1100 rated player is too bad to play.....hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa

Wins on time are legitimate. Try re-reading the rules.
Originally posted by KingDavid403Uninformed answer. My average move was within minutes until I had to leave town to help a family member in a crisis. You are making alot of assumptions King Poster David. I played very rapidly until that day, then had to leave for one day - then he wouldnt take a rematch. Then I saw he was doing that to alot of people. Is that good sportmanship. Just becuase it is technically within the rules, does not mean it demonstrates any sportmanship, manners or class, especially when a rematch is not accepted.
Its very simple. Don't accept the open invite with a 24hr timeout no timebank if you can't move at least once every 24hrs. Snooze you lose! When someone puts up a open invite with a 24hr timeout and no timebank, Its clear they want to play a fast game. Maybe WadmasterD gets pissed off when his opponents continue not to move when they know he wants a ...[text shortened]... this post in the HELP forum????? No tissue for your tears here.

Originally posted by BillyB49My goal is to inform other players of his taking quick timeouts, and also to inquire re: if there is any limit RHP puts on this - on if RHP has considering factoring this in to one's rating. i.e. if I have one 10 games, and 7 are from timeouts, should I be rated the same as one who has one 10 games with no timeouts?
I don't think anyone really enjoys these kind of people. I personally play blitz a lot and win because of time all the time, but it is known by both sides that time is important to one or the other players. Is your goal to get this guy to lose his membership or something? Or are you just complaining for the sake of complaining. I agree that you deserve a rematch, but some people in life are just jerks and we gotta let it roll off our shoulders.
Originally posted by impatientI don't like getting timed out at all... but you know why I did get timed out?

An yes, in blitz - timeouts are more expected. Thanks for your post.
Originally posted by impatientI would have thought most players choosing a 1/0 game would take timeouts quite quickly. A game that moves faster is what they (and presumably yourself) want.

If you consider t/o wins totally legitmate - that says alot about you. You must count on them too, rather than your skill.
