why is the bullet pool near my rating range dead?

the pool is taking many minutes like even 10 just for a game near my range, is this cause of timezones or just lack of 2500's when seeking, its only one game then a long wait again

probably because of both. I mean the most ppl on chess.com are American so it also matter. But probably most because of lack of 2500 playing. Because not a lot of 2500 bullet is playing a lot of bullet games everyday

are you playing at 4am again

no its literally at 10pm

that's basically the worst time for most people outside the us

i was playing at that range, well actually it was from 8-10 and then when i got home i played a little till 2am but even now the pool is dead which really sucks, its like bullet died or something

there's not that many 2500s out there too

i mean but surely theres gotta be many users out there, it just cant be a entire pool dying where i have to wait many minutes for a single game then seek again. i even have had to seek other bullet challenges cause i got tired of waiting, its just 1 game then waiting all over again

bro ur like 100 percentile not many ppl ur rating will play bullet

there are more indians and chinese people on the site iirc

I reckon what they do 2500 plus is just friend everyone in your rating range and you'll have a list of peeps your strength who are online and available to challenge. 

I believe it's both your rating, and the time you're playing.

I find that at the 2500+ (blitz) level, and certain hours of the night (Eastern US / Canada), my seeks sometimes just stay open for several minutes at a time, with no responses. I often get bored and simply log off.

But if I log in to play in the middle of the day, there are usually multitudes of opponents in my range to play.

All depends on when you're logging in.

Cuz everyone's scared of losing to you

Even Bill is scared to lose to the almighty Kowarenai 

I'm scared cuz I'm really bad

my only loss to Kowarenai was because I forgot I started the game and ended up losing without making a single move.

lol

either that, or else your were intimidated and made up a story to cover

naw I'm dead serious I was solving puzzles instead of playing Kowarenai

I know, I was just joking.
