Hello, I've been playing on this site for a few years and this has never happened before. I have been in 13th place for a few days. I played a few games today and was 40 games ahead of joeygray in 14th and 70 games behind spugeddy3 in 12th. Tonight I logged on and I'm now in 15th place behind dliebes & dliebes3. and he/she has only played one game today. I watch who is behind me , how far they are behind me & who's catching up. I have not even seen this dliebes player until tonight. Very strange

He/she must have been ahead of you but didn't play for two weeks and so timed off the current list. But you retain your streak through such periods of inactivity, so when you win again, you resume your spot on the current streak. (Well, dang, I must be back in 16th. :) )

dubob, And it's worse than you may think. There are two Jake64's and two LeftNuts who currently have a live streak of over 2000 each. But they disappeared a couple of years ago and I'm not sure they will return. But Isabella has a streak up there and she will be back soon. Then you will officially be 16th without losing a game. She comes and goes. Only plays very occasionally. James

You can look at the all-time list to see who else has a live streak above your number (451) but hasn't played 8x4 the last two weeks. The nearest threat I can find is Shanghaibob. He has 501 in 8x4, but hasn't played it in a couple months, although he has been playing other variants recently. Most of the others haven't played in years and thus appear to be dead names.

We moved back up, buddy. I_like_pretzels just dropped off the list due to two weeks. I_like_palmisets is about to do the same!

I've noticed that the first game I play after sleeping, even if I got up a good while ago, is fraught with peril. I suspect the dealer is cheeting - giving me an extra hard one if it sees a time gap. Yeah. That's it all right.
