Emne: Re: Timeouts

El Cid: We're discussing several different things now. My biggest concern is with people (especially new members) who sign up for more games than they can handle, thus spoiling the fun for themselves, their opponents and to some extent the other people in that tournament. That's why I tried to propose a formula that forces people to prove that they can handle a lot of games before they are 'let loose', so to speak.

I'll try at this point to clarify my earlier proposal. I don't think it's perfect, but it's the best I can come up with. F is your total number of forfeits, N is the number of games you finished in normal fashion, and A is your allowance, i.e. the maximum number of games you're allowed to play. The formula goes:

A=N-F

or, if that number is smaller than 1000, then

A=1000

Some examples:

1) A new member who finished less than 1000 games would have an allowance of 1000

2) A member who finished 5000 games and forfeited 2000 or more of those would have an allowance of 1000 (remember, N in this case is only 3000, because forfeited games don't count as 'normal')

3) A member who finished 5000 games and forfeited 500 of those would have an allowance of 4000

4) An old member who has finished 37000 games and forfeited 100 of those would have an allowance of 36800, which is, practically speaking, the same as 'infinite'

So, for all intents and purposes, you could still play as many games as you like, but you would have to work up an allowance first.
