How does the mute option work in this scenario:

If I mute a player, will it in turn mute any threads he/she may create in the future?

I mute everything in the forum except for game-related or threads (I'm here for the game, not for...that). It takes a chunk of time each day to do that. If I were to mute users rather than threads, would it save me from having to mute any threads they may create in the future?

Hey,

I'm interested in playing a game. I've left the site for a while (graduate school means busy days), but I'm happy to get back!

When I left, I had a GR of 263, which puts me at 91 on the current list. So that means I should say:

91 basvanopheusden 36-48 750 Either (slightly prefer anon)

abgemacht (1076 )
21 Nov 13 UTC

@bas

Do you know when the last time you were on the GR was?

basvanopheusden (2176 )
21 Nov 13 UTC

I finished my last game in September 2012, and on the October 2012 ratings I'm on number 70 with 263

. That number hasn't changed. I don't know how long a player stays active. A year?

basvanopheusden (2176 )
21 Nov 13 UTC

Actually, I found my name on the Dec 2012 list (number 67) and not on the Jan 2013. So I guess the list gets cleaned up every calendar year. Aaaanyway, Dec 2012 is my last Ghost Rating.

abgemacht (1076 )

lol OK

We definitely want you to play. Just trying to decide what GR of yours to use. Don't want people to be annoyed at you using a year old GR.

Are you OK going with your all-time ranking of 208?

Hazel-Rah (1262 )

Just want to restate my preference for an anonymous game, since it seems to have been lost in the copy/paste shuffle. Thanks.

@Hazel

OK, I'll fix that.

basvanopheusden (2176 )
21 Nov 13 UTC

I'm OK with anything. You're organising, so just use the measure you think is fairest. Judging from this list, I think I'd be able to hold my own in the second game, but I'm also okay with playing in the third.

I did notice some people want to bet a lot more points than others. If there's going to be a high-bet game, I'd be interested signing up for that too.

By the way, good to see you're still modding the site, abge! :)

VirtualBob (224 )
21 Nov 13 UTC

I thi k for folks who are not on the current ranking list, we should use the all-time _rating_ and slot that value in on the current _ranking_. Especially if we go to four games. I am not interested in a game where most or all have GR <100.

Thanks, and welcome back, bas. Points for games will be based on the lowest person, so that we can keep GR as close as possible.
