Otsikko: New Game: Limit on number of opponent's started games.
When a new game is created please could it be possible to specify, in addition to a BKR range, a limit on the number of started games that your opponent has running.
emmett: thats why i started playing games 2 days or less, some with 400, 600, or more games move once a week. it also pays to check them out to see how many games they have running first before taking the game. and see how often they move.so many have there games set to days that they make the game move to the points movement that alows them there points.

nightmagic: I agree. That is how I do it too. I start games with a two game time limit. Some wonderful, crazy players still can play 5000 games at the same time and manage to keep up, making daily moves with me. The only reason why I like the game limit criteria as a feature request is that when I commit myself to a one or two day per move game, I don't allow room for myself to have a few extra days when work or holidays keep me from getting to a computer. Yet when I start a game with a seven day limit, some players will take a year to complete it with me, maxing their time to the last hour on every move and consistently using their weekend days. Anyway, brainking is the best.

snowhugs: I dont think that this should be a feature , some people have many games going and can play faster than those with only a few , i dont think it would be fair to exclude someone because they have x amount of games going.
Otsikko: Re: New Game: Limit on number of opponent's started games.
Jason: I agree, i have alot of games, but still make at least one move on each every day, unless i am not here long LOL
AND i also i agree with snowhugs, some people have too many games & wait till the last day virtually to make a move in a Tournament, so holding it up, BUT then again they are also using the rules laid down. They have a certain time to make a move before they timeout, so why not use it.
Its catch 22 then, some of us want to speed Tournaments up, some dont. Problem is, the ones that dont till always win, as the tournament wont carry on till there game(s) is finished.

MadMonkey: I think that the simplest thing to do is to message an opponent or a tournament player if you want them to move faster. More times than not, they will go ahead and move much quicker. I know for me, I might not move in a game every day, because it is too hard to go through and find them. So I might not move too often in games that have a time limit of seven days. But if you message me, I will move quicker and I believe most people do this.

gambler104: It doesnt bother me at all, but i do know quite a few it does annoy. Like i said, when you enter any game or tournament the rules of it are there for you to except, for both/all players. No one should have to message anyone(maybe the Tournament organiser), though i know it happens. All i would say is that i do think some players should look at the tournaments they are in more, then they would know if they are the only ones left playing games in it. Maybe if some people used the drop box and goto next Tournament game they may get through them quicker.
Otsikko: Re: New Game: Limit on number of opponent's started games.
MadMonkey: I would agree. If you have all your games left in a tournament and no one else has any, then I think you need to start playing quicker. Aside from that, I don't think that there should be a major problem.
Otsikko: Re: New Game: Limit on number of opponent's started games.
snowhugs: it shouldnt matter how many games someone has if they keep within the time-limit and i know from speaking to ppl on here to put a cap on game limit alot of members would leave
Otsikko: Re: New Game: Limit on number of opponent's started games.
imsoaddicted: Number of games is an indication though. Once a day isn't all that fast, players with only 20 games going often play 20 moves per day, which is more like it. :)
I'd rather play 20 moves in one game than one move in 20 games. Much more enjoyable.
Otsikko: Re: New Game: Limit on number of opponent's started games.
grenv: The number of games you have really has little bearing on how fast you play. I currently have 24 games going and can only make about 1 move per game per week do to internet problems and limitied time yet in the past I have played people with over 3000 games that made a move every day. I also very seldom find people that will play 20 moves a day. If we are both convienently online at the same time ocasionally you get that but usually you miss each other resulting in 1 or 2 moves a day on a game.
If you want fast games keep short time limits this puts you first on there play list.
