I don't want to attack anyone or cause a flame war but I feel I must do this. I recently finished a 2 game Line4 match with an unnamed player that started on June 19. The first game, a win for me, was completed June 19. The second game lasted until August 24, ending in a timeout by the other player. The game had a 5 day limit and only lasted 10 moves yet it took over 2 months. I make my moves when I get them and always move within 24 hours of my opponent's move. The reason this game lasted so long is vacation. Other player used many vacation days, at least 15, and I ask is it right that players who pay more can stall losses to keep high ratings and rankings with their 30! vacation days? Nothing against the other player as she has a lot of games at a time and she's not the only one who does this. Also, there's a bug in the game history in the profiles. It is showing the date of the first game's completion not the match completion.
that's an expression after facing numerous, seemingly chained events ... :")
I doubt though that it's valid to let it cumulate in an impression, paid
members are having an advantage at stalling games for what purpose ever,
although I don't know shaggath, someone who's won 50 tourneys already,
seems very unlikely depending on stalling to keep high ratings ... ;)
I admit, also I sometimes use a certain timing to have a slight influence on
my lost points ... i.e. first I lose a couple of inevitably gone games, then I
finish all wins of the same game-type that I might have delayed a bit before.
>:) results in minimally lesser losses in my ratings ... :D
indeed 2 months for 10 moves is slow.
but actually cAn happen during holiday time.
for moving each day preferably I do agree as well,
but if my opponent has more than 120 games I don't expect it.
I suggest avoiding tournaments with a timerange of more than 3 days
refering to your preferences as I understood them ... good luck ... :) ~*~
