Originally posted by ASROMAyou so want a tournament trophy that you lost all your games so you get a trophy at lower levels......no you say. tournament rating is based on ratings over the last 30 days... ok how about this scenario. you lost so you can drag level 1400 players a great deal when you decide to when again...in fact you have lost on purpose for this very reason...tchk tch
I have to be the record holder...
If there is anyone who can top me, please make yourself known...
Originally posted by aging blitzerYes, that's only because he has other things he needs to do and was doing all his opponants a favour instead of them waiting the timebank to claim the wins, he resigned as a nice thing to do. M1sty didn't do it for the same reason AS Roma did.
how about this user User 216967
lost 530 in 1 day
Originally posted by ASROMADid you notice that only three of the games that you suffered a timeout on were games that the opponent actually claimed the timeout?
No..
It doesn't bother me at all.
I'll get them back eventually and it’s just a rating.
I even resigned games that were not timed out because it's not fair on the people who had the courtesy to honour the vacation flag.
I was just curious to know if this was an unprecedented drop or not.
Clearly I was very short sighted.........
However, after looking at your graph, you don’t even come close to me 😉
All the other games were automatic timeouts initiated by the site for tournament games, the following warning is clearly pasted in all tournaments :
Please do not enter if you believe you are unable to complete your games because of a vacation or for any other reason.
Tournament games time out automatically 2 days after the timeout period expires.
Games can not be reinstated. Your vacation setting will not be respected.

In fact, I think I'll go enter one now and win it and put it on my CV.
Maybe they'll make me CEO afterwards or give me an honorary PHD or something.

I didn't moan once about having being timed out, I was just curious to know if anyone had ever suffered such a big drop too.
