Most games played out in a short period of time

I'm looking to have an all OOTP weekend (other than a short Honey Do list my wife has prepared). Thought this might be a fun topic for a Friday afternoon.

What is the most number of games you have played in short period of time? My max has to be 25-30 in a weekend but I know I'm an amature. How long can you go?

I did about 25 games last night and this morning before work. Pbp instant is great for that.

I started 2008 of my season on Monday. I'm at september 15 right now, and I haven't played any game today yet.

I first got into OOTP during a paid vacation. At the time, my fiance was interning for school, and working a part-time job....so I had tons of free time. Anyway, I got about 40 or so games in with virtually no stops....needless to say...I was hooked (sick). I remember it because there was a moment when I laughed when it occurred to me that I was half way to the allstar game.

I can do about 15 games per day. I've played out a whole season in about two weeks. My career is on its eleventh season and I started it in late 2004.

That reminds me: on this same career I am playing w/ Toronto, Vernon Wells: 5 straight MVP's! I'm closing in on 1000 wins.

I can play out probably 40-50 in a day but I usually only do 10-15 in an evening of play. I enjoy looking through the boxes, examining stats, leaderboards, etc. too much to blow through them. Plus, I usually wind up spending about 30 minutes per night trying to orchestrate the blockbuster trade that almost never goes through. Pick a player and keep juggling offers until you get him without giving up your core. My current game is only in season 3, but my old one had probably about 35 seasons before I decided to start with a restructured league.

i can go through a lot. But I usually sim the first 5 innings of a game, then take over after that.

I think I played 2 months in one day once when I was unemployed. Ahhh...the good ole days!!

I'd just like to share with everyone my frustration that this phrase has nearly destroyed my enjoyment of a perfectly good melon.

PS - I've run through a season of PbP in a weekend when I was sick one time

I sim until the 6th but play every game. I go about an hour and a half for a month. I only check things on Sundays. My wife left town last week, and in 3 nights I setup a league, drafted, did a season an offseason and go through April. Plus playing poker with my buddies took up 3-4 hours one of the nights. It was a great week.
