The Grind
Last night I played 6 games in 7 hours straight, afterwards my brain felt very much like goo(pick your own color). Not doing that again any time soon. :D

I think my max without feeling physically ill is 3-4 games in 1 day with some breaks in between.

So what's your longest grind?

18 games on FUMBBL birthday (20 if you count the two games played minutes before).

Lots of speed freak challenges, went to sleep, got up and played some more. Even played a game which glitched out and forced my opponent to play 1 minute turns because there were so many speed freak games being played at the time. Only played for half the day mind you.... other people have probably got some bigger grinds!

I've played 24 hours straight at a TT tourney, and probably 24 hours straight on FUMBBL when I've been on holiday. After a while it just becomes automatic...

I played four games without breaks on one of my "bloodbowl nights" to prepare my ranked dwarves for a major. I was pretty done afterwards and wouldn't have started another one, even if it had been possible.

My games also took longer, 1.5 hours on average, I think.

I can feel for you! :-D

Maybe I'm just getting old. :D

Back when I played counterstrike I could game for obscene amounts of time without any tiredness.

Dunno blood bowl is certainly not automatic for me yet(267 games in 6 months), wonder if it ever will be. Some games I feel a flow where decisions just come easier, mostly though I think it's when I have an easy match up or luck advantage. :p

Just the thought of a speed game makes me dizzy. :D

Played 30 games in a week to build some humans for the glt once :)
Hardest was finding opponents that I hadn't played yet :)


We even won our qualifier, probably because I was so intimate with every player on that team and really knew how to play them :D

There is only one colour of goo. ;)

I've never been for long spells of games. 2 in a day and I'm tired. I don't even play two in a week outside of leagues these days. Your amount of play is madness! :D
Posted by Sammler_der_Seelen on 2011-07-27 21:11:42
11 games one day:)
Posted by MadTias on 2011-07-28 02:02:49
Yea, I get this too. More than five games a day makes you feel slightly disoriented. You also start seeing blocking patterns and chainpushes in everyday situations, which makes for some awkward social moments if you don't hold your tongue! :-)
Posted by Arktoris on 2011-07-28 03:03:25
I think my longest grind was 11 games. but yeah, your mind starts to go mush after 4.
Posted by Overhamsteren on 2011-07-28 20:33:31
Haha some of those numbers are just mental.
