Subject: more of my thoughts
To expand on my ideas that I posted earlier.

Brain Rook - Keep the same - up to 1000 games (Unless you start getting people up to that amount and they keep on timing out - maybe drop that down to 500 or something - still way more then most will use)

Knights - I guess keep the same.

Pawn - Possible limit their moves during "peak" hours when the server is the most busy. Possible 10-20 moves max during the peak times? Or if you can keep track of how much bandwith a person used, limit that for pawns during "peak" times - since cruising message board also takes away from the server. (During non-peak hours, don't limit them in their moves)

I also still like the idea of letting pawns only enter 1 tournament a month. It does not matter if the tournament is over before the next starts - just as long as it was 30+ days since the last started. (Since now tournaments can be as many as 14 games out of their 20 limit - it is hard for pawn to keep that many games open for tournament) Playing in 1 a month would still let them enjoy the tournament, and use the site to help decided if they want to pay here.

As for non-tournament games, possible limit them to 10 games.

I agree with everything there BBW except the move limitation during peak hours. Any game site should be prepared to handle the high volumns of activity that come with encouraging new members to play here. Again limiting non-members moves serves to limit members who play them.
