Limit the amount of games 2 players can play with each other

Concise description:
  • Limit the amount of games 2 players can play with each other at the same time in public games. If you press 'join game' and the system detects that you are already in 2 public games with a player who has already joined the game, it won't let you join.

Specifics/Details:
  • I'm playing a game at the moment where i think there is some secret diplomacy going on between two players
  • A look at their history of games reveals that they are playing 3 other games together right now. All of these games are non-team.
  • They have played 29 games together, 13 of which are 1 vs 1.
  • Given that they have played this many games together, this suggests to me they are very friendly with each other. They could even be friends. secret diplomacy between friends would not be un-common

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • Would limit the amount of games people can ruin by joining games as friends with the intent of secret diplomacy.
  • I'm only limiting this suggestion to public games so that friends can always play together in private games if they wish.
  • I suggest the limit is 2 public games, as this would be half the number of games a non-paying member is involved in.
  • Other suggestions that would minimise the chance of secret diplomacy between friends would be welcomed.

i have almost 700 public games with Jbrettlip... already see a major flaw in your proposal, maybe you can figure it out... i'd suggest fixing that hole, before you proceed any further. I'd also up the number a bit more... other than that, seems pretty rational, considering all the "husbands", "wives", "friends", "children", "in-laws", "class mates" that tend to end up in tons of standard games with each other... pretty good idea... if they want to play together, there is always that next step, TEAM GAMES...-Jésus noir

no, this would kill the speed game community... XD

As well as make many tournaments impossible

As well as frustrate the hell out of players who play hundreds of games

No.
