goodday

It amazes me how the Moderator's can approve such duplicated threads.  Pointless.

These questions are asked (and answered) all the time but never made it to a FAQ.  Flyordie really needs to open up the site a bit so that regulars can send patches.  A lot of typo's and weird translation would be fixed if we could edit pages like on a wiki.  Not to mention keeping the FAQ's more pertinent and up to date.

Alternatively, mods could make "sticky" forums threads where FAQ and/or News topics would stay at the top even if these threads are locked from (useless)replies.

A lot of the more useful threads get flooded by trolls and the few nuggets of real info are lost in the crud.

Thanks

It stops people sitting on a high rating without playing any games. For example someone who has the crown in a game with 750 points will lose 5 points a day to prevent them from staying on that score and retaining the crown without playing. 

Below is the system FOD uses to determine the amount of points you will automatically lose each day:

Below 353 1 
354-500 2 
501-612 3 
613-707 4 
708-790 5 
791-866 6 
867-935 7 
936-1000 8

Thunder it amazes me since you are not a moderator you criticize flyordie continually. Pointless. 

@ $$$$$BILLY$$$$$

geordie86 never said what game he plays.  All the games have different formulas for daily points deductions.

Eg;

http://www.playcurling.com/faq.html

http://www.flyordie.com/games/help/billiard/en/rating.html

http://www.flyordie.com/go/faq.html

http://www.flyordie.com/chess/faq.html

and so on.

Sadly, a lot of game specific stuff never makes it to a FAQ.  In those cases one must dig the info out of old forum threads.  

Or ask the same questions over and over all the time. :)

goodday ;\

Ooo a troll ;)

lol. lots of words and no answers. all he asked was "what do the dice signify next to your name". I'm interested too. not the rating or the points... the dice. what do the dice mean?
