slow player are the biggest problem for most of us. If you play 20 games parallel and 10 games are "on hold", because the last turn of those opponents are 2-4 days old, then you can only play in the other 10 games in a "fast way".

So, can you implement something like :

-) games-limit is 20 "fast" games. That means, if you have games, where the opponent didn't play since 2, 3 or 4 days (called "slow player"), then those games didn't count.

Example: You play 18 games parallel, 4 of them against "slow players". Now you are allowed to open 6 new games, because 24-4 == limit of 20


In my opinion it is more important to do something against "slow players" or "dead games", like described above, than to increase the number of games you can play parallel.

This just seems overly complicated for no reason lol. Then what if you're at 24 games but one of these "slow" players makes a move? That's what the 4 day game timer is for :X



The two prior posts are very good points though. It seems randomizing who gets to be P1 would be the simplest short term solution available until an actual solution to the FTA comes out. As nivra says, upping the game limit now will just let whoever gets on there first queue up 20 extra FTA games.
