I imagine it would be over multiple sessions most days?
There were also very fast games among them, like Yahtzee and Solo, so you can skim through them rather quickly. Other games like Dungeon Twister take some time to get into each time again, which is more difficult. So how many hours a day? No clue to be honest. 3 hours or so? There's always games where the other players are slow in making their move, so not all those 135 needed a turn of mine each day. Moreover, since I mainly tried having games which require 1 turn a day, it wasn't necessarily to always play, and I could play some and leave some for later. At least in theory, the completionist in me didn't agree with that :oops: .

So that shouldn't be possible. But that's another topic already running on this forum, right?
I have been kicked once from a tournament game while I was somewhere between 1h and 5h over time.
There was another player on -35h, but (s)he was done with her/his turn at that point, (s)he got points for that game while I didn't and the next game of the tournament will only start in about 3 to 4 days from now, I got expelled 4 or 5 days ago.

I could imagine expelling me jus before the end, since I did draw the game out by going over time, but if there were many days of play left there is no reason to expell in my opinion, unless the player doesn't even play at all
It's been ages since it happened to me, except for one game in a Take 5 tournament game. I was leading the game. The guy who was in last place, at a score of -3 (meaning the game would end a few cards later) kicked me after being in the red for ... I'm not sure how much exactly, but it was 1 hour tops. Needless to say I wasn't really happy with such an obvious cheap way to avoid a loss from his side.

Yeah, if there is a max time for a singular game, you want to stop people doing that.
However, then someone could do an early lead and then not play.
In that case, if games are not done within time, you should go by thinking time, or a combination of thinking time and points

This is the largest number of games I have personally had queued up at once that I was on turn for. I didn't time out of any. Wish I had screenshotted from profile for total games running at the time but a friend freaked out seeing just this and made me take a picture so the discord channel could make fun of me being a crazy gaming fiend.

This is a terrible idea and an incorrect premise. Any sanction should be based on how an individual player behaves. The worst player I've seen in this regard is a premium member.
