DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

Just in case – I don't have any deadlines for finishing games. Or what are you talking about?
I feel like it's about 10 days? But 10 days is not a deadline for finishing a game, if you read the text carefully.
10 days is a period of complete offline/ignoring one of the opponents.

Yes, I'm talking about 10 days of complete ignoring. That's not enough.

I'm not trying to suggest an "ideal tool for completing seasonal games."
I'm trying to suggest a tool to end the dragging out in two simple and unambiguous situations:
1) an obvious abandonment of an unfinished game by an opponent when a new one starts while the old one is still unfinished.

For example, when I was actively playing in a season, I had up to 15 unfinished games! I played with whoever wrote back faster, I suggested finishing games based on my mood and what kind of template I wanted to play at that particular moment, and much more. Sometimes we finished games a month or two later (rarely), and it wasn't just me who had such games. There's even a positive side to this, when you have many unfinished games and you log into the game again, you have the opportunity to choose. One person is available, another isn't, there's always a 3rd and 4th person with whom you can continue right away. That is, playing with other people while having an unfinished game shouldn't be a crime. And in general, some players only play on weekends, and if one weekend is busy, does that mean game over?

The deadlines should be softer than the average view, because unforeseen circumstances always come into play. There can be many different ones. 2 months for finishing a game as a minimum threshold still seems possible.

2) one of the players goes completely offline and stops playing Heroes altogether.

And yes, regarding the first point, I don't think it's too harsh to cut off the possibility of starting new games when there's an unfinished game and the opponent is ready to play. In fact, I think it's very correct.

How will you know that he has gone completely offline? Probably he should say it himself, then you can post it right away.
