A strawpoll to give a very determined player a much-deserved unique trophy.

Whoever plays the most games should get a trophy for the marathon.
@chessanalyst I think that would encourage too many people to just resign around the beginning of the game to try for that trophy.

I just think Lord_axe should get a unique trophy for playing so many games, for so long, and achieving top 1% with his low rating. It is pretty impressive.
@Asym No no because the mods would tag you for sandbagging. if you resigned every game.
You could also make it a requirement that they get top 1000 or something like that too and that would limit sandbagging possibilities.
@chessanalyst Good point. Perhaps not a unique trophy like I initially thought, but one with all the same prerequisites: a U2000 player, top 100, and with the most games. It would be very exclusive but very cool.
What if there was no U2000 players in the top 100? That is why I think its a bit odd to suggest that.

I still think the player with the most non sandbagging games should get the trophy regardless of rating. Since playing the full 24 hours is a feat in itself.
I just thought that him being so low rated and making top 100 was a pretty big accomplishment, but perhaps you're right. That is too restricting, I agree with you.
Yeh in this case its special since he played the most games of anyone and he was so low rated. That deserves a trophy right there.
I'm not sure if that would be fair, still, I appreciate how the community reacted to that, I like it.
I may vote yes because of that.
