Speaking as the current Most Active Player I would just like to make the following points:
It has become increasingly clear to me that Vaknso and I are actually fighting different wars.
I am quite happy to concede that John is the true King of Moves but in my opinion this should not be interpreted as Most Active.
The way MAP is calculated has also obviously been changed recently.. in the past, if I or John were to be on-line while the the other was not, for even just an hour, we would go top of the table even if we had made less moves than the other. This does not happen anymore.
In other words, number of moves seems to have be at least 90% of the way MAP is now calculated.
I think it would be better for the site as a whole if MAP brought other factors more into consideration, ie: Number of different opponents and number of games played. This would encourage any potential MAPPERS to play more people instead of playing up to 50 simultaneous games against just one opponent.
Perhaps there could be two tables - one for move count alone and one for true active players.
Anyone have any views on this?

Originally posted by RhymesterI have an opinion on this. Up until last night I was having a lot of fun with the MAP thing, got caught up with making rhymes,etc. etc. Watching Luck and vaknso play each other in approx. 30 simultaneous blitz games to fatten move counts cured me of that. You can call it what you want, but it wasnt kings and knights, it wasnt rebels and causes, it was more like two middle aged guys seeing how quickly they could click their mice. Andrew, you dont stand a chance. That wasnt chess I witnessed. That was organized crime. If I had the time this morning I would have made this all rhyme. Anyway, I'm sure many of you will wonder what right this infidel has to challenge this sacred ground, having only been with RHP a few months. Censor away if you must. Andrew, who takes on all comers in the name of fair play, the noblest MAP of them all.30 games if there was one. Unbelievable🙄

I think it is just for the sake of producing moves...

I did not realize that the games were many, I don't have the time to count them. Remember also that I am playing about 100 other games that are not against vaknso, with roughly 70 different opponents.
Also, I play blitz in 90% of my games, not just against vaknso!
That is the reason why I get scolled my very good players, who I did not realize immediately were very good, and they beat me easily. Players like Bobla45 and Feivel are examples of the players who I lost to recently and was called a pushover! LOL
I play all players, I don't turn any games. I have played 3 of the top 5 players, 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses.
I post my open invites in groups of ten, sometimes one player selects a lot of them!! I will not delete any games.
Of course, I am a supporter of the real king, vaknso!

I know I am not to your standard in the game of chess, but I have improved!
Not a ganster, it is the good guys against bad guys or rebels!! LOL

As rebels crash the gates
The knights are shredding documents
And wonder of their fates
The final blitz was hopeless
The reign could not survive
Like S.Hussein in just two weeks
Or Dolph in 45
Our new king in his glory
Will lead with noble heart
And take on all chessplayers
With fairness from the start
The knights are in hysteria
A treaty we must pen
Can we still talk about this?
At tea in the U.N.
Now cometh fourth King Rhymester
Your virtue we have seen
Salutes we give to Red Hot Ted
And of course, God Save the Queen
