I know I am bringing up an old subject but we now have another example of a new player, Belluz, who has only been a member for 60 days and is in over 200 games and it is his turn in 179 of them. He may have a perfectly justified reason for this situation but I did not see a post in the forum that he would be away.
Please, please, please, can we put some stricter rules on the number of games new players can join? I know that most new players are NOT a problem and it seems that I am asking to punish all new players for the sake of a few who get in over their heads but it seems to me that the new players will appreciate the tougher rules once they are vets and don't have to deal with automoving newbies all the time.
Before I can offer some new parameters I need to know the current limits for new players. Hopefully Nick or Parker will respond to this post.
We have a thread for this some time ago, 1 yr and 59 days to be exact: http://www.youplay.it/play/forum_showmessage.asp?msgid=33423
This is what Nick said:
Hi,
to avoid other cases like Cadrac (he currently have more than 400 active blue max games), we added some limitation to the number of active games a user can have.
Limitations are as follows:
# you cannot have more than 250 active games per game type (i.e. you can play 200 blue max games and 200 cartagena games at the same time) # you cannot have more than 40 active leagues at the same time. # If you are a new player (registered less than 30 days), you can not have more than 2 active leagues.
Please report any strange behaviour of this limitations.
Have fun, Nick.
200 games are a lot of work. I have close to 200 Blue Max and around 60 WSIM games a few months back. It was like working full time especially for those WSIM games. The BM games were more manageable since 50% of them are 4 players+ league games that require no more than 1 move a day. I usually keep the BM count around 120 and WSIM no more than 50. I'm sure I will be back to that range when I return at the end of the month. 
BTW. I am slowing down because I'll be away for a week this coming weekend.
