Subject: Vacation days
I don't understand how these work.I'm playing a game against someone with 0 vacation days left,yet when they time out, another 24 hours is added to there time too move? Can anyone shed any light on this phenomenon?

Pedro Martínez: I didn't think of that.Thanks. But I just checked his days and it is set for Wednesday and Thursday? But i supposed that could have been reset yesterday.I also checked when the game started,it was 11th August 08.It's a 7 point backgammon race game with a 2 day limit.16 moves made so far.I'm no mathematician but that seems like a lot of vacation days used!

Carl: No worries. He'll have to start moving on Friday. Unless he purchases another membership, that is.

Carl:Hadn't noticed this before, but I see I must be playing the same person.  Still in the first game of 2 7 point matches started in August.  Odd.

alanback: Odd indeed.As well as not being a mathematician I'm also not a psychologist.But this has got me wondering.This stalling is obviously being done on purpose so I'm thinking that perhaps there's some minute sense of power being derived from these tactics? To most of us this is a place to play games,nothing more,nothing less.But to a lesser mind, it may be all they have in life that gives them any sense of self importance.As i said i'm, no psychologist so don't really know how a human mind works and thinks.But surely this behaviour is more to be pitied than scolded.

Carl:unluckily that one you are playing is someone that shouldn;t be in brainking .. sorry .. i always make sure that if he signs in any tourney i am not there and he is banned from all my tourneis
eventually he will need to move so push him to limits .. do not give him any break .. move as much as you can
