This should validate thisbeme's complaint regarding the mistaken chess rules here. Well, that is assuming you can indeed lose on time here at BK even though it is impossible for your opponent to mate you. I haven't played chess here so I can't verify or refute that claim.
thisbeme: Not having automated passes and forced moves has been hot topic of discussion as long i have been on this site. And from what i heard its been discussed long before that too, probably since the beginning of BK. I think those auto-moves would be the number one thing to improve this site. But for some shoddy reasoning it has never been implemented.
The other point you make is a valid one too. If your opponent has insufficient material to win you should be able to claim a draw in chess. Even if you time out.
I've been informed that timing out even if in a position that is theoretically impossible to lose (like if facing a bare king at chess) is always a loss here!!
The laws of chess are clear that this scenario should be a draw.
It is insane to reward a player with more than they would get, if their opponent made the theoretically worst plays.
Also why isn't auto pass extended to all games will only one legal move/no legal moves? On a related matter I don't need to acknowledge that I've lost the initial dice roll any more than I acknowledge that I go 2nd in other games. Passing and making only moves is a big waste of time.
Bernice: probably games which didnt allow vacation days games with a green dot only allow weekend days and no vacation days games with a red dot allow no weekend days and no vacation days either
Do I have to turn on holidays or anything?....I timed out in 3 games over the 3 days I wasnt online because of the cyclone. and if I have to set anything please advise where I have to go to do it....I have read and re-read and cant see anywhere.

Bernice: And another way would be, go to the Player List link on the left side. Click on the "Level" column. It will then list by membership level. If it starts with pawns, simply click it again, and it will reverse the list for you.
Subiectul: Re: 33 consecutive passes in Ludo. Needs an achievement :)
Pedro Martínez: Ludo is the most exciting and intellectually demanding game on this site, no question. At least until Fencer introduces Tic Tac Toe, probably in BK version 14.3.

Artful Dodger: The probability of not getting a 6 33 times in a row are (5/6)^33 , about 2.5/1000. Not bad. I recommend buying a lottery ticket, fast, before your luck runs out.
when the vacation day changed at the start of the year ive just noticed that when a bishop buys a new bishop membership he gets all his vacation days back again even thou he had already used 4 of them i was just wondering if this is the norm now or is it an oversight on your part?
When searching for ponds to sign up for, if you click on the Fellowships ponds, there are many ponds waiting to sign up that are 2 to 4 years old... wouldn't it be great if those were simply deleted from the site?
Marshmud: Yes, I remember. When Fencer first created Team Tournaments, they were prized with brains. I thought it was a great idea, and felt more addicted to BK, then. This is good, right? :)
Gabriel Almeida: There has been Team Tounaments with the winning team receiving brains for their win and also many fellowship team tounament that have brains for the winning team. However you must set up the tournament. Currently the brain system is inactive but I hope it soon will change.
