After 7 months I Finaly lost my (p), I think it was a lot of time but i feel good.

So is there any diference from now on, or the mayor diference is when you subscribe?

I mean in how people look at you, since I have seen in some forums people discriminating provitionals.

I think a provitional should be treated like if he was a great player sincce you dont know until you have seen one or two of his games or see his non prov rating.

congrats dude - welcome to the "non-sub scum" pack lol, you will find that there will be just as much discrimination but there are more of us to take the flack, so it is shared out a little 😉

seriously though the only real difference you will find is that you will probably have a better chance of getting a game. many have a problem with playing (p) players because they are scared to lose too many rating points.

although there will still be those who refuse to play us "non-sub scum" (a phrase you may get used to hearing lol).

ya i agree with the treat provisionals as they are great players. I usually just avoid them in general. I say let them play eachother. I see all these provisionals who somehow are 1700, after 4 games which kinda scares me. Either they are actually beating 1700s or the rating system is wonky for the (p)

Yes - the system for (p) people is more "large-scale."
When you lose as a p, you drop alot more, same with winning. I won my first and went up 150. As you play closer to 20 games, the ratings stop falling and raising by a lot. That's why I want to get to 20 because lately I've been losing, and to people within 50 of my points, and i get dropped like 40!
