How do people keep 30 or more games going at once? I know they have plenty of time for moves because of the game conditions (timebank, etc.), but I do good to keep 10 games going... wouldn't 50 to 100 games going at once become overwhelming or tedious?

Depends how quickly you move. If you're spending 20 seconds on a move you can run out of games to updat quite quickly...😉

Especially if you quickly resign a game thinking you've lost and only realise you had at least a draw when your opponent messages you to ask why.

Depends if you are on the dole too, therefore giving you the whole day to move!!

1 day per move-- no timebank.

If you put it onto 7 days per move, you could support 7 times the game load. 70 games.

21 days. 21 times the game load, still making the same numbers of moves.

I find it much more difficult to keep track of a lot of games with a long timeout period than a few faster games, though. I like to play 7 day timeouts, but in slower games than that I often forget what I am up to (of course nobody forces me to wait with my moves to the last minute, but if I have other games in which I need to move faster, I'll wait with the slow games; and of course I could use the note book more, but I am usually too lazy).

That doesn't seem particularly expressive, and it's far from an outburst. Maybe I'm just not visualizing it right. How about another log painting, I got that one.

It's an impressive inburst.

I hear you, though 20 seconds is a bit much.

20 seconds is like 3-4 games

I used have between 300-350 simultaneously, but now I have almost stop playing. Now I only play few games at one time, perhaps 100-150. This is good because it only take about 10-15 minutes. When I played over 300 games, it could take as long as 30 minutes to make at least one move per game.

Not at all, and I have a 1200ish rating to prove it!

My art company name is a sarcastic take on my personality, as I am quiet and nowhere near loud! 😉
