Mélusine: Yes Art is correct , how can anyone get upset with you. lol. You should be a professional arbitrator.

I would never ask you or any BB to change anything due to a slow player and have you decide such a matter. But on the other hand if asked, as I have in the past I just tell them so. In your fellowship I play games but limit myself on who I play. There is many ways on bk to stay away from players you choose not to play.

I won't put anyone in such a dilemma and you know well I respect you more then ANYONE on this site. You announced you point of veiw in a general form, speaking of the thousands of members who play. I agree with you and I know the person you are and you always give everyone the benefit of doubt. I was'nt speaking in a general term. I don't believe in game limits, however if a player over time proves he/she can't handle them all I do believe a limit should be placed. I have several good friends who play thousands of games and never a timeout.

Even with 3 day limits and the reset of vacation days at the 1st of year takes a simple 3 day tourny 2 years to complete....for some.

We speak of trying to get pawns to join, and some even say they play their pawns first so they can play quicky, enjoy more games and become members. I also believe this ....and the bishops and knights who can only play one tourny of each game....so I wonder how they all feel having to play 1 tourny for a year because someone holds the tourny up....
