BrainKing has just turned to 2009, so all vacation counters should be reset.

Fencer: Yep, but why can't there be a little update to the holiday system. If you move on a day then you can't be classed as being on holiday. As it is upto the player to play the least time games first as I think most of us do so we keep our holiday for genuine reasons.

(V): That would not work. I know when I visit my sister-in-law, all she has is dial-up, and I set vacation days - but do try to stop by and play a few games - if playing the few games would take me off of the vacation and make may games time out - that would be bad.

Another example would be if I have about 10 games ready to time out (but on vacation), try to play 1, and then suddenly have the other 9 time out because I did not play fast enough because the system took me off vacation would also be bad.

(So doing that would only slow games down more since it would encourage players to not even try to visit the site if they can)

The things I would like to see fixed:

1. Don't allow people more vacation days if they renew their membership. I know this has been done in the past - sometimes multiple times in a row. If anything, maybe a 1 time thing were you get 10 additional vacation days if a membership is purchased, but never more then 10 days. (even though I would like to see it as 0).

2. .... there was something else I was just thinking about, but it escapes me right now.

Subject: Re:
coan.net: I see your point. I think your option "1" is a good idea, and prevent abuse of the system which some do. It's getting like KM again in some ways where a loophole has been found in the system and people are cheating on their ratings because of it by only playing games they will win. Or by making it that some just time out just to get the free space (such as pawns) as the game has been delayed so long.

It's not right.
