But I don't understand the "noplay" thing. there are only two things that get you noplayed on ICC that I know of: (1) either myself or bert gower notice someone playing and they are obviously using a computer, but with no (C). (2) someone plays more than 2 games in a row without telling me. I have an automatic feature in my crafty interface that will +noplay anyone that plays more than 2 games in succession, unless they ask first. This was done to avoid logging on to ICC each day and be greeted by a dozen messages from IM/GM players complaining that "XYZ" played 10 games against Crafty and I couldn't get in to play it, can you do something?" I have some exceptions to this... because the people operating these programs are either programmers working on their own programs or have asked me. Names like ferret, zarkovx, the crazy bishop, knightcap, wchessx and others are folks I know and don't mind playing as they rarely play an extended set of games without breaks. What is your ICC handle? I'll fix it. But to play game/60min I will have to set it up specifically for you, as I try to not let crafty play games that last that long, on a regular basis, due to the aforementioned complaints. But I'd be happy to set it up and watch. It might be a couple of days, as I am expecting my new quad-p6 today or monday. I'm starting the reconfig process today, so the machine might be up only sporadically until Monday or so... For fun I'd suggest telling ICC and let them advertise it as well... and give some thought to whether you want a 4-game marathon or one game per night for 4 nights or whatever... one other thing... if you happen to use a "crafty" to play crafty it will snag you instantly and noplay you, unless the noplay list fills up. There are many crafty operators that match crafty and get hit with this...
