If this is true, then wouldn't it mean these accounts would then get the white pieces more often in quick pairings because of the stochastic nature of the algorithm, and that accounts which don't participate in simuls would end up playing the black pieces more often? It seems to me a better approach would be to make each quick pairing have an exact 50/50 probability of the white pieces, unless your previous game was aborted.
