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?

Oh I should have asked. I don't have time for full press games. Any chance of gunboats?

Well, some highly ranked folks joining this. At least when I get eliminated in 1903, it won't hurt my ghost rating or self-esteem too badly.

StackelbergFollower (1463 )

Yeah, no kidding ckroberts. I think I'm still crossing my fingers that I get bumped out of the top game.

shield (3929 )

Ill still play. Maybe bump me to 24 to 36 for phases. Also anonymous sounds good.

Yonni (136 )

ck, the quality of competition doesn't affect your GR drop you get from being eliminated. It would just be 1/16 of your GR or whatever the fraction is.

Looks like some great games there. Unfortunately, I don't have time to join now. Hopefully we can do another one in the new year.

Hellenic Riot (1626 )
21 Nov 13 UTC

I've been off the GR since September but it's about time I shook off the rust. 406.427 was my last ghost rating which would put me at 22nd. If you don't mind me not being on the latest ranking, I'll join this happily. 36-48 hours is preferable for me. No preference on anon/non anon.

StackelbergFollower (1463 )
21 Nov 13 UTC

If we get one more from the top 30 to join, I get bumped to the second tier! It's basically a law of nature that I can't solo in a game that has ckroberts in it, so let's make this happen people!

>I'd like to have no one lower than Speaker join
I'm last in the GR list, so there won't be anyone lower than me. B-(

My GR (676) is from the November 2013 list. It seems I'm not good enough to make the All Time Lists for WTA (or Gunboat). I'm guessing at least one of your stats (current or peak) has to be more than 100 to get into these.

ckroberts (3548 )
21 Nov 13 UTC
(+1)

Yonni, I did not know that. You should join, having such knowledge.

Stackelberg, I admire that you're concerned about your solo potential here.

StackelbergFollower (1463 )
21 Nov 13 UTC

Well, I definitely won't be if (as is the case now) I'm the bottom-ranked player in the top game!

dyager_nh (619 )

ckroberts tells me that Stack is a chump so go ahead and knock him down to Tier 2.

StackelbergFollower (1463 )
21 Nov 13 UTC
(+1)

He would say that. All of my games with him have ended in ill-fated solo attempts on my part where I had to draw so someone else wouldn't solo... you should hope I get bumped, it means your solo chances go way up!

ckroberts (3548 )
22 Nov 13 UTC
(+1)

Yeah right, I have been the guy Stackelberg is beating. Then again my usual strategy is to be a small country between two solo threats, so this thing could work out for me.

peterwiggin (15158 )

I'm just worried that ckroberts is going to destroy me after I rather callously cut him out of the draw just a few days ago . . .

I'm sending out invitations to some people I've played with in the past, but I'm happy to take on the new crowd. If you like to join, please reply.
