I think that slow players can be a problem for players having a limit for games as pawns, bishops or knights. Before being a rook, I was a knight and very often I was blocked because tournaments weren't finished because of slow players. It's the reason why I'm a rook now.

Nevertheless, I think that we can't blame a slow player when he uses the rules of the website, and I don't agree with a blocking on the games. If people want to play rapidly, they have the possibility to choose tournaments with a little limit (1 day for example).

Marshmud : I don't agree with you (sorry) when you say " I suggest those who are upset is to just not join tournaments you are part of, and explain to the BB of said fellowship and explain why you won't play " ; I think that a best behaviour would be to ask to the Big Boss of the fellowship to create tournaments with a fast limit.

From my side, I think that I'm rather medium for the speed and I try to make an effort about this but it's sometimes difficult not to join a tournament when a friend tells you that players are missing, or else when someone celebrates his (her) birthday with a tournament. Moreover, team tournaments begin without your choice when you're not the captain of the team. The consequence is that sometimes I've too many games, so I play slowly. In these moments, I wouldn't like that someone send me a private and rude message asking me to play more rapidly.

I totally agree with Rod when he says " People need to realize they may get better results by being nice. ". When a nice player tells me very kindly that he likes to play rapidly (I think to you Gabriel Almeida ), I do my best to play his games very rapidly, but I must admit that I'm a little frustrated when the game finishes too rapidly !
