Subject: Re: Thousands of games and years to play one round of a tourney
Carnie: If there are people with several hundred or even thousands of games who are still signing up and playing extremely slowly, I could see how that would be frustrating, although I'd be surprised if it was common. The way I arrived at the situation was that I was (and am) in several fellowships, and signed up for a lot of games at one time. A message for one tournament would come to me, and I'd sign up for a bunch of games, and then another message for another tournament would come before the first set of games started, and on that went for a little while. So I was signing up for more games not fully realizing how many I was committing to (obviously still my own fault). 

And also because games can, as we know, take a while, people's situations change. Mind did - I became a lot busier a couple of months after signing up for all of them.

None of this is to say that I think you aren't justified in being annoyed with this, but that it's not only people being inconsiderate - there are sometimes mitigating factors. And yes, people could resign their games, but doing that with hundreds of games is going to have a pretty huge impact on their BKRs, which is why people would be reluctant to do so.

crosseyed: Could be that Carnie is talking about past situations.
