It's because practice makes perfect. While you were gone, you didn't play against people, so you basically stay at the same "level". However, your friends keep playing, and thus get to a higher "level". Therefore, it's easy to see that someone with a lower "level" will be beaten by a person with a higher "level".

Or maybe is it that everyone else got worse while I continually got so much better that a massive influx of power overwhelmed my overprocessed brain and weakened my cognitive connections to the point that I was actually less talented and and more lackluster than the worst of the worst player online at any one moment of time. So 
did you consider that , huh, did you, I didn't so.

Or even better, don't.

Oh, and I actually did consider that possiblity, though apparently you haven't, and find it highly improbable. It is more likely that you are just out of practice, and getting worse at the game with every minute you don't play a game of pop pop. So get on the tracker now, and let me kick your butt...
Have a grand day!

Subvert the dominant paradigm. :)

Evmeister's skill level was stored in a signed character value. After much hacking and cheating, he broke the level of his skill such that it was greater than 100%... and pushed up and up until the inevitable finally happened... Now he languishes around the -128%, an example to all who would hack into the marix to further their own ends...

Edited for too many typos as a result of being too geeky. I'll just get back to my sad little world now!

Sure thing - are you on the beta list or are you playing 1.0.2?
Will pop you after work tonight if you're around. See if I can get to the bottom of my mouse issue too!
