What is the significance of the symbols besides our names?
I see like mine, a single star but then there is a single star with a little square next to it and then there is a little people symbol with a square, what does that all mean?
Second, I see 15, 20 people on the list and offer a game and nobody wants to play. I usually do 3 min and 0 increment but have done 3 and 1, no takers. Also with that many people there why doesn't somebody make game offer themselves?
Also, is there a chance for a chat window there so at least we can ask about whats up or hi or something.

1) Dude symbol = non sub
Star symbol = sub

either of the above with board = as above playing a game in progress

Tiny white square = p rating

2) No-one wants to play that game. Stright up, either accept one of the others that appears, or wait as long as it takes. Try 3 and 5 - more likely to get a taker though IMO.

3) Russ has it on his to-do list already - likely to be sub only though.

They can only play 6 games.

LOL! Just kidding.

Russ says there will eventually be features for subs only.

Well that explains the lack of players, there are only a few waiting for a game, most of them are already playing. Thanks.

There'll be far less when non-subs are barred. 😠

Talk about an overreaction! Non-subs may have reduced features, can't see Russ barring them altogether.
