Damn it :facepalm:

I have two different points here!!!

The message in ICQ about unfinished games is about finishing them, and even then, it's not directly about finishing the games, but about prioritizing finishing them before starting new games.
And the 10 days – it's not about finishing games at all.

It's one topic – the disregard of one opponent towards another, but two points with different meanings. For different situations.
It's easy to notice. Take a closer look. )

And I'll repeat once again – I don't see any way to set dates for finishing games in seasonal games. I don't see a single ready-made formulation that would have a clear and unambiguous meaning, and that could be "taken and applied." And I'm not suggesting limiting the time for finishing games in a season and forcing them into some kind of framework.

... because, for example, two players spontaneously decided to play against each other, but one is obligated to finish a game with you, and the other with someone else. Think about why they would need to write anything to you, because they want to play with each other.

It's funny, but this is exactly the sticking point. Exactly what I mean!
Let's imagine that you are one of these two players.
Obviously, you've lost interest in the postponed game, since you're so eager to play with a new opponent. What prevents you from forfeiting the game that you're no longer interested in and not dragging the opponent (literally) by the balls? Except for the desire to keep the opponent in the postponed game on a short leash... Like, you, loser, wait a bit, I have a more interesting opponent now. Once I've played with all the interesting ones, then I'll finish with you, loser. Or maybe not. I'll see how I feel. It's some kind of boring game with you. I don't want to play it right now. What? What? Are you interested and ready to play now? I don't care.
Aren't we playing for fun? And I'm not going to have fun playing with you right now. What? What about your fun? Well, I already said – I don't care.
