Could there be a two year limit on games, at which point the days per move drops to one day and the timebank drops to, say, 3 days if greater than that? Pro's, con's, anyone? It is boring to have a conservative 21/21 game approaching 2 years old when the tournament is long over. I know I signed up for it, but still...

Originally posted by JS357Why worry, just move when its your turn. Its not like the game is impeding on the amount of games you can play.

If someone can't (or won't) access the internet every day to move it seems unfair to change the time limits half way through in a game they have toiled over for years. You know this - almost all your games are, or have been, Long Hauls!

Originally posted by RagwortNo revenge motive. No desire to change time rules during a game. What I'm suggesting will affect no game and change no one's need to access the internet every day, for TWO YEARS. Or they could change it to something like 3days /7days. If RHP doesn't think it's a good idea so be it.

Originally posted by JS357Don't be silly. For starters, 2 years in a 21-day game may only be 45 moves. You would have a better chance if you suggested this option after 200 moves or so.

Originally posted by Shallow BlueOK I see no movement in the direction I am suggesting and will withdraw it, except of course it lives on in the archives.
