maybe that is what you were trying to do, but that wasn't really my complaint- if you'll recall, i wasn't asking for people who moved quickly, i was asking for opponants who moved at all.
By all means, continue to refuse to read the Help. You don't know what Clans are? I'm sure looking at the entry called "Clans" that's right there under the Help button would be of no use whatsoever.

but one last one- i have no idea what a faq is. and, after decades of working w/computers as tools, most "help" options are worthless.
I'd agree that most Help files don't tell you what you really need to know - Microsoft has a lot to answer for in that respect.
I also think that RHP's FAQ needs a bit of work, but it's worth a read even as it is.

What is your username on that site - it will give us an idea of your playing level and you may find more people will challenge you.
As a newbie P1200 player a lot of people don't want to risk playing you in case they lose a heap of points to someone who is potentially say an 1800+ player.

Originally posted by MissOleumNo offense but you got wiped out. I think he is upper than 1300 for sure. 1500ish maybe.

"does anyone here actually play " ?
- this is a 'correspondence' site - the idea being to use the internet to mimic the days of 'snail mail'
- that's why a player's flag appears in their profile
- if somebody is from eg. brazil, you calculate how long it would take a letter to reach there - and, viola, that's how long you should take to move
(moving faster than that is consided 'bad form' and a serious breach of protocol)
blah, blah
