Subject: Re: Vacation Suggestion

I forget to add two more points.

When playing a multi-game match (being it a cubed match, and N-wins match, or an N-game match), the time control is for the entire match - no resetting between games. So if you saved up a lot of bonus time, you carry it over to the next game. And if you time out on a game, you lose the entire match. No more waiting for many months if someone stops playing in a 21 game gammon match.
You don't get a whole lump of vacation days at the beginning of the year. A new account gets a few days to start with, and one gets a new vacation day every N days you make moves. (So non-active people don't accumulate vacation days, and you don't have time-out free months early in the year. No strategical buying of membership either). N would vary on the membership levels. In BK's terms, I'd set N = 35 for pawns, N = 15 for bishops/knights and N = 10 for rooks. Of course, there would also be maximum of saved up vacation days.
