PFS #200,000 has been given out??

[Silbeg]

Who is lucky number 200,000?

(I only know because I just printed card for numbers 200151-60!!!)

This seems a pretty solid landmark!

[Eric Clingenpeel]

That'd be a pretty cool number to have.

[WiseWolfOfYoitsu]

I'm not number 200,000, but my number is interesting as well: 101234

[Kadasbrass Loreweaver]

That number may be sitting in some gm's folder waiting to be handed out to some lucky player.

If you start to report a PFS game and fill in 200000 in the GM# field, the username will auto-populate. It appears to be assigned to a real person.

It's an eye-opener to realise that with a PFS number in the 1700s (and given that online registration started at about 1600), I'm in the first 0.1% of registered PFS numbers...

I got mine around GenCon 2008 and I'm in the 2000's

[The Morphling]

I'm one of the rare few in my area with a five-digit number. It really doesn't feel like I've been playing that long - the rate of new players really seems to be increasing over time, which is good news for our favorite hobby!

I got my number a long time ago... 1619, a lot of numbers have gone out since then.

[Calareth]

I've been playing for exactly 3 and a half years, and have a 50,000 number. So, the population quadrupled in 3.5 years.

A more interesting stat would probably be how many of those ids have reported a second game.

[Ferious Thune]

I have a feeling many of them have not reported a first game, since the sheets of cards come 10 at a time. I know I still have a few numbers I've reserved, but that I haven't given out yet. Still, a large portion of those numbers most certainly HAVE been assigned to active players, and it's phenomenal growth. I've also got a number in the 50,000s, and I started mid-2012.

Mine is 1500, there are some players that have a lower number in my city in the 1200's.

Numbers 1000-1600 (approx.) were reserved for Gen Con 2008.

I don't put much stock in what the currently releasing number is.

Too many players have walked away and too many numbers are reserved and then never handed out. The fact that 200,000 have been reserved doesn't mean those numbers are in use. Only event reporting can tell us that.

#4961 here. So weird but elating playing with a bunch of 6 digits.

[Jayson MF Kip]

I'm just happy to see more people whose number starts with 2.

Correct, First numbers released stated at like 1603 or something.

Huh.. Posted this afternoon, but for some reason it got eaten... VC Bill Jones, aka Xath, was the one that downloaded #200,000 for U-Con here in Michigan. I happened to see this thread the day before I went to the convention and happened to see a stack of new IDs and saw #200,003 as well as 199,9-- something. Since someone registered that number he must have handed it out at the con. :) So #200,000 is somewhere in Michigan or close by. ;)

I was also at U-Con. Something very unusual happened. I was at a table and six out of the seven of us had four digit numbers! Generally, I'm the lowest number at a table so this was a pleasant surprise. It was a great game.

Wow, 200,000 numbers generated. Anyone hear the latest number of active players? Are we still growing?

[TriOmegaZero]

I know Phoenix has a handful of 4 digit numbers in our community. We've even played together!

Nice! Were you not there Sunday, or did I just not see you?

We (my family and I) were suppose to go home Saturday evening but we were snowed in. Left for home Sunday morning before the first slot.
