the early time-outs in my greeter games only bug me a teeny-tiny bit. what gets me are the good players that finish long games but don't have other games nor do they come back after our game.... am i driving them away and they're just too polite to time-out? am i pressuring them too much to sign up for tournaments? woes me, woes me.

edit: kohai, do you have generic greeter messages that you send the newbief? if so, could you send me it so i can copy/paste in future greeter games?

Unrated games do not inflate your wins either. Your wins, losses, and rating are all determined by rated games only.

How can you cancel your Volunteer status or at least adjust yout availability?

Thanks

Thats why greeters should, i think, mail their newcomer ... not just try and say everything in their game chatbox.

I've explained to quite a few about that white speech bubble that appears by the logout/help button that shows they have a message - i'll send memo's, or homepage notes explaining stuff about the site and how it works.

At the end of the day, as a greeter, you do as much as you can to make each one feel welcome ... if they don't come back, thats their choice .. but they might return in the future.

Good point mate.
