He dropped nearly 800 points and then entered a bunch of tournaments.

He cant enterbanded tournies at his new low level

Poor kitten! Fortunately something like that has never happened to me. But you are playing a lot more than I do, and I rarely play people I don't know apart from clan challenges or tournaments.

It makes it a big problem for HIGH rated players actually.

i.e. Arrakis plays that guy, and loses. He loses points equivalent to losing to a 1200 (-30 or so) when he's really only losing to an 1800 (Maybe half of that).

He can't enter them at his new low level. He has to enter within 100 points of his highest level, if I remember correctly.

I really don't care why User 276362 dropped over 800 rating points. What I care about is that he entered tournaments and I have 4 games against him. Since he's an 1800+ player if my game results are 50/50% then I will lose at least 60 rating points to this cad.

Well, I would've felt a lot better if you hadn't made little paper dolls out of the restraining order. And the fact that they had a better wardrobe than I do? That was really a low blow. :'(😞

I had games some time ago against him. Both were time out wins. I think he may have not been able to get online for some reason, and probably had many time out losses.

Yeah, started it after my first year here. After 3 years I have only 8 players on it, but two of them have been removed as cheaters.
Are those two now on the 'definitely do not play list'?

Well then, you will have to make sure you don't lose!!! Perhaps the 100 day thing is just not doing what they thought it would do huh...Maybe that is where the change is needed!!!
