Yes, nonsubs have only six games at a time, but I've played nonsubs more than one game. If you rematch right away, there's no problem. They can also wait until they have an opening again.

Some of my best friends are non-subscribers. Having said that, I feel it only fair to point out that they are responsible for 95% of all cashpoint crime, and only bathe once every other year.

I decided not to play non-subscribers if I do not know them from the forums or in person.

Is it mean and unethical to discriminate the starless members like this?

Debate.
Mean and unethical? No. But I don't know why you would make this decision. Seems pointless to me.

the issue here is whether you think a star will make you a better person. i could pay those 5$, but still be a bastard, timing you out, cursing you in the game chat, taking days to move but still moving just in time to avoid timeout etc. a star isn't the mark of a nice person, it is just the mark of a person who likes chess and thinks that 6 games are not enough.

i don't have time for more than 6 games so i probably won't get a star in the foreseeable future. so does that make me scum?

perhaps this is the reason why non-subs shouldn't play subs, because they be stuck-up scum?

of course i call subs scum based on the observation of just one person, you, but you don't seem to mind

There are only two non subs in the top 30 rated players.

A quick check confirms they are former subs.

The highest rated real non sub is 37th.

it is only logical. those that are good and have the time to develop their rating will probably want to give the bucks to get a star. if you only play casual, then you are too lazy to pay the dollars.

now that i finally got a job(me lazy government freeloader) i might get a star. and according to some, that would make me a wonderful person, a model citizen and really, really nice
