I am awaiting replies to the messages I sent to the individuals concerned, but am so annoyed that I am about to vent here...
I have been posting quite a few open invites of late - all name Mission 2000 - as I try and get my rating up to that level.
Not that many invites, normally no more than 5 or 6 at a time so i don't hog the invites screen.
Now one individual accepted 4 of my invites in quick succession then deleted them as fast...
And another grabbed the other 2, then deleted them quickly.
All without a message or a move.
If my rating is too low, then don't accept my invite...
If the timebank etc. is not to your liking then don't accept my invite...
If you have too many games, then don't accept my invite...
If you don't really want to play, then don't accept my invite...
If you accidently ( and not 4 effing times ) accept a game you don't want to play, then email me or message me and say OOPS SORRY< GOING TO DELETE IT.
Common courtesy.

You cannot hope to get to 2000 by playing people ranked almost 400 points above you. If you currently lose to 1400-1500 and then started beating 2000-2100 all of a sudden you could be easily suspected of cheating.
It is best to play 1500-1700s primarily and then once you are over 1700 play 1700-1900 etc. Just my two pennies worth.

Pointless. If I win most of those games then lose the odd one then my rating will just plummet.
I am good enough to beat 2000 plus players on here if I play to my potential ( I am curently rated at 2065 ELO OTB ).
Suspected of cheating for playing to my actual rating? Whatever.

Thats why you have to play people who match your rating
No one wants to lose to someone rated 400 points less
You said it yourself.

Especially those with big groups, maximising the number of higher rated players you could be playing.

I have had the majority of the invites accepted and am happily playing many games, thank you very much to those people.
So there are enough people of a higher rating willing to play me.
I dont HAVE to play someone close to my rating, I can play anyone who wants to play me.
