Please explain *why* it is "abuse".

playBunny: Anything that has potential for abuse has to be looked at. I believe that the title of this "competition" was "Action Points" I think people have turned it into a competition on a level not intended. The original purpose was circumvented from the start. Even you raised objections to the original structure. I am just adding my two cents.

I think it is abuse when two players can spend all day making moves only against each other and gain the most points. I think people who would like to participate in this "competition" are effectively eliminated because they know that the only way to compete is to partner up with another and do the same. I can't help but believe this is not the original intent Fencer had. I think this loophole needs to be closed as well. Points earned from opponents should be limited per opponent. This way, more points can be earned by playing a multitude of opponents rather than two players playing only each other.

Groucho: I think it's ok to partner up and play lots of games together, after all the prize is an endurance prize.
Though as a solution I can think about a limit of points that can be accumulated against the same opponent during one day.

Well, I mean it's your idea, Groucho, I didn't read everything fully, I just wanted to state this and then forgot to look whether someone already come to the same conclusion.
