Teema: Re: Game suggestion: Yavalath

mctrivia: I very well know how time controls work. But not having vacations doesn't work for me. I will be away for a week or more two or three times a year. And you never know when a second round of a tournament starts.

I don't mind if someone takes 7 days to move when the time control is 7 days or if they are on vacation - as long as they don't for every move, while being online almost every day.

If we would have a time control that combines the Fisher clock with vacation (preferably a "strict" form of vacation that won't allow you to take vacation on a day you also made a move), I'd start using that time control immediately. Currently, I never use the Fisher clock. Sure, I could easily be able to make my moves for the next 6 months on a 5/1/5 time control, but the game or tournament may last for longer than that. And then I would lose my game, because I will be away on vacation.

Teema: Vacation Suggestion

AbigailII: What I would like to suggest is that possible a setting for a game could be "Max amount of vacation days to use for game 1 person can use".

So for example, 5 days max vacation days - so someone can use vacation days, but after using 5, the vacation days will not work for that game anymore.

On one hand I think there are already a lot of possible settings for games, but I think this one would help those like you who don't mind people using vacation & time - as long as it is not abused.

AbigailII: Your suggestion of not being able to take a vacation day on a day you make a move penalizes people like me. When I'm on vacation, I can usually get online for a short time (maybe half an hour) which is enough time to move in my quick games, or fisher clock games, but not enough time to move in all my games. I would be penalized for trying to move forward in my quick games, but letting my longer games sit.

I know it is a pain dealing with those who are obviously on here but just not moving in their games. I play pretty quickly and they irritate me as well. However, you can't make rules to deal with every situation. You end up hurting those who are trying to play by the spirit of the idea in the process.
