Fencer: I don't think I would have joined if BK only had games without timeouts - games wouldn't finish then, would they?

Anyway, I would be perfectly happy if you said "if you have a tendency to move close to your clock running out, do so at your own risk. If you lose a game because the site was inaccessable, too bad. Use longer times/move, move earlier, or don't complain. Except for excessive downtime, clocks will not be stopped". If I were in charge, I wouldn't 'stop time', unless the site was unusable/down/unreachable for at least 24 hours.

AbigailII: I think 12 to 15 hours would be a more reasonable time period, since if you happen to live on a time zone, where those 12/15 hours would be all of the time that you were awaken, that would be a complete un-playable day (plus 6 to 8 hours of sleep, before and after that 15 hour period)

El Cid: You got the problem of clocked games.. can be a bind if they are short ones.

El Cid: Well, then don't play games with a less than 1 day/move, or accumulate a bigger buffer (if playing with a Fisher Clock).
