Originally posted by z00tI see several problems with this. Firstly, why should close family or friends be treated differently than any other players? I don't play differently if I play a friend than if I play a stranger. There would only be a problem if someone would deliberately let someone else win, which most family members or friends won't do any more than a stranger would, and which a stranger might do if xe gets some favours for it. Secondly, if you think it's important whether people are close family or friends, how would RHP know? Would we have to send in a list of close family and friends? Thirdly, to set a number doesn't make sense at all if you consider that some people play hundreds of games, while others only play very few. If you play 500 games, 10 games against the same person are not very much. It would make more sense to go by percentage of games. Then again, I don't have a problem at all with someone joining RHP to play a couple of friends and nobody else.
My suggestion would be :-
- for rated games close family/friends should not be played more than 10 times
