game play tactics

[knycknac]

I am wondering how this type of play is regarded

If a player was to purposely take about 20 hours to make a turn in games he is playing when the game is going against him
specially when he has premium and the players beating him does not have premium so enticing them to not take their
turns so as to start a new game and be more active.

That's why they are 24 hour games..........you have 24 hours to take a turn.

i understand and i agree
but say i am active in 10 games and come online and only play the games i have less than 4 hours to go till the 24

example i have 4 games to take turns in
1 with 23h left
2 with 17h left
3 with 16h left
4 with 2 hours left

i only play the game with 2 hours left
and come back in 15 hours and play the games with
1 and 2 hours left not bothering with the one with 8 hoursleft

then when i come back 7 hours later i have 3 games to take turns in
1 with 22h
2 with 20h
3 with 1 hour
and again i only play the game with 1 hour purposely not bothering with the games with the 20 and 22 h

now i do this in all games i am playing in so now because of my slow play it has taken
3 months to get to round 40 and 3 of the players have not bothered from about round 22 to play
because of the purposeful slow play as they are non premium players
so now i am winning some games by default as i am boring my opponents to quit

I know this is in the game rules re 24 hour play but is this fair play

Try speed games? Become premium so you can play a mix of fast games, and these deadly slow games

I will be renewing my premium most probably during the next week
it just ran out.
Just commenting on game play tactics as looked through a good few of his games and it is a tactic
he uses and see many players just not bothering after about round 20 and missing turns on purpose
to get out of the game to start another, it wont happen to me here and soon we will be down to just
2 of us.
I do play speed games just slowing down on here for a week or 2
thanks

Just take solace in the fact he's a salty mothertrucker because you spanked him sideways.

Back when I used to play games on this site, I'd regularly have between 30-50 games going at once, many of them 1v1. If I tried taking them all as they came due, it would be a very intense game load for me. Since I also hold a full time job, I limited my turn taking to morning and night, and would only take the turns that would be due in the next 12 hours. This meant that I frequently had games where I would be taking my turn within the final 4 hours. I could have done it sooner, but you're given 24 hours to take your turn, and I chose not to take them more frequently to maintain my own sanity.

i would agree with you if he had 50 active games
but when you have 8 active games and i have looked at a load of his games out of interest
some games he takes his turns quickly and these are games he ia generally in a winning position

i went through a load of his games and games where there was an very low round level to duration of game
i noticed that he had used this tactic and got a good few people playing to drop out by missing turns
including some where he has won through this tactic.

He was due to take a turn in my game and has since been online and taken turns in 2 other games
where he had a longer time to take turn than in the game he is in with me so that also takes away from the
reason you mentioned Serbia
