I think he explained that several Messages below. If you are in a few games in the ladder, especially a multi-player one, someone reporting a loss to you (in a multi-player game) will cause you to have activity and reset your counter. Take a look down for more detail.

Ah, thanks Slynky. I read the original post and then went to the website to check it out and join. Didn't read all the intermediate Posts.

So they will let you change the required activity time in the league admin pages? That is good, seems like they might have wanted to keep it low to promote all of their premium memberships.

That's probably part of it considering the premium members are exempt from getting purged due to inactivity.

But they do allow me to set the limit as high as 255 days.

I don't think we need it that high though. I am thinking 90 days. How does that sound to everyone?

I'm guessing you can't set durations for different types of games...so it has to be for the slowest game. So what's that? Our Challenge game has been going longer than that. My Rd 5 Tourney went around 4 months. Both have/had 6 players. 90 would seem to be a minimum. Of course, that activity setting could be "set to zero" again if a person was in some other game that either he ended or got a reporting off of. And, of course, in a multi-player game, surely someone would be out (and reporting the loss) before 90 days passed. (assuming I understand things correctly)

Seems like a tough call. 90 is a good start, I guess.

I set it to 90 for now. As things progress if it looks like players are getting close to getting bumped for inactivity despite a legitiamte effort to play games we can change it.

Would the KOTH games also count as a League game if both players are members of both?
Did I read correctly that all players of the game need to part of the League for it to count?

If both players want it to count as a PBW league game as well, and they agree to do so up front. They don't have to make it a league game if they don't want to. But you need to agree up front and let a thrid person know so that when it's over there isn't a dispute abotu whether it's supposed to count for the league too.

Yes, I did say that. Do you think that's a bad rule? I wasn't commited to that one, just thought it sounded like a good idea. If somone want's to make a case agaisnt it I will consider it.
