i think vacation days are only used up when a game needs them
a game only needs it when the normal time of the game is over (the 5 days in pauloaguia example)
i wonder though .. if i have 2 games running .. 1 games times out monday .. the other game times out on tuesday
suppose i wont be online on monday .. the first game will use 1 vacation day and time out on tuesday ... my question is if the other game will also be awarded the vacation day (and time out on wednessday) or if the vacation day which is used only counts for the first game and i will use another vacation day if i only move in the first game on tuesday and dont play in the second game
But this is autovacation: it only kicks in on timeouts, so you only start spending vacation days on your first timeout...
At least that's how I understood it when it was first explained in this board a few months ago. And it will still be how I see it working until Fencer corrects me (after all, he was the one who implemented the system, so who better to clear any doubts about it?)
nope..it doesnt work like that..I knew what you meant.
Vacation days pass no matter what is supposed to happen on each day or not ( except weekend days) the end of a 30 day period is 30 days + weekends..not 30 days + weekends + extra's.
Maybe I didn't explain right:
Imagine he has only one game, and that he last moved on 6-Jan. If that is a 5-days-per-move game then he would timeout on 13-Jan (because of weekend). Now, he times out on 13-Jan the first time, so that will be his first vacation day. He is given an extra day, so he timed out again on 14-Jan, being his second vacation day. and so on (excluding weekends) till he times out for the 31st time, on 24-Feb, this time for good.
So, to know exactly when his vacation days are over, you need to find out the fastest game he has and start calculating the number of vacationed days from there...
Stevie: Don't forget to include the days he had to move in the first place. For instance, if all his games were 5-day-to-move games then you need to had 5 days to those numbers...
All I know is that yesterday I finally got rid of my opponent that was autovacationing since the begining of this year :)
You'll get your turn soon as well ;)
Can someone else work out when his games should start timing out?
He hasnt been online since 6th January and gets 30 days holiday. weekends are sat and sun.
I worked out that he should be timing out today as 30 days not online ran out yesterday....but his games are still renewing.
Have I misscalculated?

On the main page, you mentioned that we have to update our profile/password. I had to change my password because I cleared out my cookies in my browser. Would I have to do that again in a couple of weeks (or longer) or just have to reset my password when I can't into the site when this change as occurred? Thanks!
boy, this issue has been raised a few times. I promise you the computer dice are completely random. I've had that happen to me in backgammon, and I've also rolled the same dice myself. It happens. If you want to continue the discussion, please move it to the backgammon board, thank you.

harley: Thank You for the info! Was always wondering about that & didn't know on which board I should ask that question. I for 1, don't have anyone on my enemies list & not planning to do so but I do have plenty on my friends list however!
I don't like that idea because sometimes I will add a person (who lets say is causing trouble posting on boards) - I will add them to my friends list so I can see when they are on-line, and in turn watch the boards a little closer to make sure nothing inaproprate gets posted...... so I really don't need them knowing that I've added them.
Fencer: I can see not showing it publicly, but it would be nice for a user to be able to see who has added them, specifically, to either a Friends or enemies list.
I am not sure if such information should be released. Actually, I myself have no problem with it but maybe some people wouldn't like other users to see their friends lists.
No dots for enemies, MagicDragon. If you go to their profile, you won't see the usual "send message" next to their name. And it won't have their last action either. Thats how you know you're on their enemy list.
i think the only way is if you look on there profile , at the top next to there name there should be a link which says send message , if thats not there then you are on enemies . even if you are on someones enemie list you can still see the green dot on your player list ..but you wont see them on who is on line list
I know that this came up earlier, how can you tell if you are on someone's enemy list? I see a little green dot next to players names that they are on-line. Would there be another dot next or below it? Thanks
(hide) You can send a message to your friends with just one click by adding them to your friends list and then clicking the small envelope by their name. (pauloaguia) (show all tips)
