Sigh. The options -zippyMaxGames and -zippyReplayTimeout work together,
so there is one block of explanatory text that covers both of them. I
guess you stopped reading immediately when you saw there was no text right
below -zippyMaxGames. Here is the latest version (clarified slightly since
the 4.0.7 release):
-zippyMaxGames int
-zippyReplayTimeout
If zippyMaxGames > 0, Zippy will play at most the given number
of consecutive games against the same opponent. Thereafter,
Zippy will decline all challenges from that opponent (with an
explanatory tell) until either someone else has played or
zippyReplayTimeout seconds have elapsed. Defaults:
zippyMaxGames=0, zippyReplayTimeout=120.
Note: If you use these options and you have Zippy doing seeks,
be sure to include the "m" flag in the ICS seek command. If
you use "seek m", when a player responds to the seek, the ICS
gives Zippy a challenge that it can either accept or decline.
If you use a seek without the "m" flag, the ICS immediately
starts a game between Zippy and the first opponent to respond,
giving Zippy no choice about whether to accept or decline.
