Nothing personal to those who enjoy playing bullet, but I don't understand the fascination that many have to play it. I enjoy rapid time controls but anything faster than 3 - 0 or 2 - 1 seems like a futile exercise... I am a bit older (51) and that might play a role in it. I just cannot formulate any kind of good play or strategy... and I also have difficulty playing that fast with any mouse I use. Again, I don't mean any disrespect for those that like these super fast time controls. I just don't get it.
If u guys havent noticed, all players in the leaderboard of most variants go up. Last year the 100th place rating was 1980 for atomic. Now its over 2010
This applies for others as well, including players in bullet and ultrabullet tourney

I seriously doubt that this measurement would make any difference to the strength of the playing pool. The facts speak for themselves the games are cooked. There are limits that can be placed on a playing pool and measured. There ought to be serious qualitative differences in both speed and strength across the rating pool.

Whatever playing pool you sample there will always be a first and a last. And there will always be a number of players in between.
There will be many differences between 100 and 10,000 for example that can be measured by more then just rating. dems the facts jack

Reason why there is no such thing as facts:
"Because much like Santa Claus and unicorns, facts don't actually exist. At least not in the way we commonly think of them. We think of a fact as an irrefutable truth. According to the Oxford dictionary, a fact is “a thing that is known or proved to be true.” And where does proof come from?"
