Hint, the rating spread isn't that big on lower lobbies. I'll let the moderators explain since they are supposedly knowledgeable about all aspects of the game
As long as you are linked to Game Center, after reinstall it will ask you if you want to load user or keep playing, hit load user. This will load your acct back, the only things that won't be the same is setting, ie; notifications, music
I find it more usefull to reinstall after turf starts. About the email to Cie, every time you send a new one it moves you to the rear of the line. Last I heard wait time is @7 days. It kept giving me the acct has been updated error for over a hour, I just kept hitting reload until it worked
Well all but 2 are known and I'm fine with them, the other 2 are lacking in knowledge of the game IMHO . The post thing doesn't tell the whole story , I used a different forum name until I forgot password , and I know for a fact I know a lot about this game and have a very good rep.
Your 1650 may be slightly above threshold for a1649 lobby, it's a very fine line . The 49 you may just have to hit change lobby a few times until someone leaves the full lobby
