When I come on sometimes, I want to play a quick game. When I create an open invite game I always name the game "One hour game, please".
[/rant] Why do some of you accept these games, make a few moves, then disappear? Exactly what about "One hour game, please" don't you understand? If you don't have the time or the intention of completing the game in about an hour, then please, DON'T ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE! [/end rant]
I can't ask any nicer.

Originally posted by WulebgrI entered the Eight ball II tournament, which has a time bank of 80 days. I have an opponent who made a couple moves then took 3 weeks to move again!
Why do folks expect to take a few days per move in a correspondence game?
Guess it's my fault for accepting that time control.

Thanks everyone, I signed up at Uchess and I love it. I can play my long timed games here and go there for my quick fix.
Thanks again, I appreciate everyone trying to help and not flaming me.
I signed up at Uchess with the same name I use here, so if any of you see me and want to play, come get some!
