Hi, to avoid other cases like Cadrac (he currently have more than 400 active blue max games), we added some limitation to the number of active games a user can have. Limitations are as follows: you cannot have more than 250 active games per game type (i.e. you can play 200 blue max games and 200 cartagena games at the same time)
you cannot have more than 40 active leagues at the same time.
If you are a new player (registered less than 30 days), you can not have more than 2 active leagues.
Please report any strange behaviour of this limitations. 
Have fun,
Nick.
I hate to dig up old threads like this but I to break my own rules this time because I am kind of  I welcome new players to this site but they should not sign up in every single leagues out there until they know what is the price to pay for having over 100 active games. Just look at the new player corbell, he is only 17.5 days old for this site. He has almost 140 active games on all 5 game types! He is already automoving in few of the Blue Max games and he definitely has joined more than 2 leagues!
According to Nick's 3rd logic listed here: a new player of less than 30 days cannot have more than 2 active leagues. So something is wrong somewhere in the code....
I have no problem for players with 100+ active games since I am one of those myself. I am fully aware of the work load involved to maintain that many games every day. I happened (10 days ago) to be in a casual 1-on-1 with corbell when he start signing up for all of them. Here was the in game conversation (game 508523):

You are going to be buried with games when all those leagues start.

yeah, but it gives me something to do, with all the bad weather were getting.
I think he should be banned from signing up anymore until he catches up to all of them in an non-automoving fashion. In the games that he actually moved, he was flying (Blue Max) around aimlessly and retire without honor. I like to thank him for the few 4 points he gave me in those 1 vs 1 league games. 
Note: The automoving logic is getting better and it kicks in a lot sooner than before. However if a player has not logged into the site for more than 5 days, all his games should be on automove as soon as possible. If he is the last player to move in that turn, he should be moved twice instead. That way the other players do not have to wait too many days for it to automove again. This will be a good improvement for league games with automovers.
