Kunoichi: Yea, I did that - I had close and sometimes over 1,000 games at one time - WAY too many (for myself). I have finally got the total closer to 300 - with my goal of under 200 getting closer and closer.
Tip 1: Stop signing up for tournaments - I see a whole list of them in your profile HERE - go and remove yourself from them.
Tip 2: If there are certain games you don't like more then others - just resign those. I figured out there is no point in playing games you don't like - this is a game site, and you should only play games you enjoy playing.
Tip 3: If you see yourself about to lose in a few moves, resign early - no point in making a few pointless moves - get those games off your game sheet right away.
Tip 4: Remove yourself from Fellowship teams in which you don't want to be signed up for games. I'm mostly only in my own fellowship teams - mostly since I know I will not sign myself up for more games which I don't need. If I do join another fellowship for a site team tournament, I try to make it clear to the captain I don't want to play in fellowship vs. fellowship matches, and I remove myself from the team as soon as the site team tournament starts.
I did the above 4, and that is how I've gotten my games down - even though I still sign up for (1) prize tournaments, (2) site team tournaments, and a few (3) Frog finder tournaments since I do really enjoy that game. But if you do the above 4, you should get your game count down pretty quickly to a more easy manageable level.
Tip 5: Make sure you choose games with a good enough time limit & allows for vacations. You should never feel like you HAVE to play a game - sometimes it is nice to just stay away for a day without having to worry about the games.
