There was a bug in the dbpickup bot for about half a day which displayed odd numbers behind ur name.

These were assumed to be the ratings, but DavidM later claimed: "I have no idea what they are for."
Whether this was a communication error between goldy and davidm is unknown still ;p

Also u can just guess what u are, for example when ur in a team with lots of good players (especially those on the same position as you)..than u are most probably a n00b (kind of) :p (to even things out ;)).

Its too easy to tell, if a unrated attacker comes in with 3 rated attackers, if he goes with you, you're the highest out of them 3 attackers.

bringin noobs into the pickups is fine and dandy, the only time i tend to remove from a pickup or move to defence from attack is when you know your gonna b partnered with a wall whoring selfish cant pass for toffee arsemunch , aka Morning*Star , or Triple_B :p

already said that the very same day that bug occured:

these numbers were some random values that were used by the bot to make multiple combinations with the same players possible. Otherwise same players (or just a few replaced by others with about same rating) would result in exactly the same teams. the pickup bot behaved oddly when i tested those, so i added that numbers to the nick to easily check what went wrong there. just forgot to remove that number again when i reuploaded the script.

and just btw, those number didn't even have the same format as the ratings, as those are split up into 3 values (keep, def and att).

no ratings have been published yet, and they never will be. if you hear someone saying he knows his rating, he either lies or guesses ;)

noobs are always welcome, if they are willing to learn, and don't think they are perfect already and moan about everyone else -.-

I recall the pickup you're talking about Fallen.. I also recall that it was very one sided. :)
