And in the future will look at the time limits better. (will make sure I have my glasses on. ) 20. juli 2005, 15:59:42 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question Hrqls: gracias :) 20. juli 2005, 13:59:40 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question TarantinoFan: There are now tournaments that are set up without those annoying vacation days, and even possible for total time for the whole game.... so as a pawn with limited games and tournaments, I would suggest you only play in tournaments set up like those, or buy a membership :) 20. juli 2005, 10:21:21 Onderwerp: Congratulations to.... diogenes for winning the Fast Hyper Backgammon Tournament
 20. juli 2005, 08:17:39 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question galpal: when you resign that game you will have finished all your games in the tournament .. the tournament itself hasnt finished yet though so you would have to wait for that until you are 'released'
when you resign you wont be able to win the tournament or continue to a next round, so you can ask fencer (politely) in a pm to manually remove you from the tournament so you can join another tournament (if there is a possibility to move on to a next round or win the tournament, then i dont think you can be removed) 20. juli 2005, 06:03:40 Onderwerp: Timeouts  Yea, the automatic vacations can be a great feature - for people who may lose internet access or some other emergancy keeps them from their games, but it does seem that it gets abused more then not.
At some point Fencer plans on putting a limit on how many auto-vacation days can be taken at one time (so for example - only 5 auto-vacations at one time) can be taken - but this is NOT IN PLACE YET since Fencer has had other issues to take care of, but I do believe it is on his 2-do-list. 20. juli 2005, 05:34:55 Onderwerp: Re: Timeouts rod03801: Thanks Rod, I figured as much because there is a limit on how many vacation days you can have and this guy would have had heaps of timeouts and his vacation days would have disappeared in an instant if it was 1 day per game timeout. I guess all I can do is wait and hope that he comes back some time in the next 23 days. :) 20. juli 2005, 04:37:09  No, one day is NOT taken away for each game that would have timed out.
I'm not sure I have the best way to explain how it works though. (I understand, but not sure I would put it into the best words.) BBW is good at explaining this stuff.. Basically it saves any game from timing out, 24 hours from the time the first one would have... 24 hours from then, if you are still timing out, another day is taken to cover the next day. So, if I have 100 games going.. and i have 10 of those games about to time out today, all 10 games will remain safe, and I will lose 1 vacation day. 20. juli 2005, 03:50:24 Onderwerp: Timeout question Feels GOOD to know I don't stand here ALL alone - thanks !! 20. juli 2005, 03:42:05 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question galpal: .....when they do it's as if they have given me a gift or something...
I know exactly how you feel!!!!!!! 20. juli 2005, 03:39:34 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question Purple: baddessi
Thankyou both for your help. I just had a browse through their started games and it seems that everyone in the whole tournament has been left hanging as well. They haven't logged on to the site for 5 days so I guess we will just have to wait and see. 20. juli 2005, 03:38:39 Onderwerp: Timeout question TarantinoFan: Happy waiting, and waiting, and waiting.....zzzzzzzzz.....I know I am but a lowly pawn but I, too, am in my first tournie and don't even expect certain players to move anymore and when they do it's as if they have given me a gift or something...Does anyone know if I resign from my present (pretty much stagnant) tournie, can I get off the tournie-players list and go find one that people may actually move more than once a week? Much thanks :o) 20. juli 2005, 03:37:22 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question Purple: I understand your frustruation. I like it for the times like when I was unable to log on due to cable access trouble in my area because of some construction going on, so it did enable me to keep some of my games going. But I know some people abuse it, and that's frustruating for everyone, especially a pawn who had limits on tournaments.
But as a result of my using autovacation to prevent timeouts, my vacation days are used up- so I have to think that it's one vacation day for every game it's used on. So opponents shouldn't be able to keep prolonging the games with it. They will time out if they don't move the game I think. I hope this answers your question Tarantino Fan, you can read the section about autovaction in the help menu 20. juli 2005, 03:26:40 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question  baddessi: Not really but I have had a person get a new 24 hours up to three times. Never more than that but it doesn't mean it's not possible. Three is three too many. LOL 20. juli 2005, 03:15:27 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question Purple: hi purple- can you explain how it works better than me? Any help would be greatly appriciated : ) 20. juli 2005, 03:13:11 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question TarantinoFan: To me that's the most hideous feature on Brainking. 20. juli 2005, 03:12:51 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question TarantinoFan: hmmmmmmmmmmm......good question. I believe it uses a day for every game missed, but I could be wrong about that- anyone else out there know how to explain this better?
Sometimes, paying members have many games going at once, and it's hard to keep up, but if you send them a PM and ask them to move, most times they will. It certainly can't hurt to ask. 20. juli 2005, 03:09:32 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question baddessi: I don't understand exactly how that works but I went and had a look. They have 23 days left so does that mean that I could be waiting for the next 23 days or should I divide that by four or more ie: does he lose a day for every game he misses or does he only lose one day at a time? 20. juli 2005, 03:06:11 Onderwerp: Re: Timeout question TarantinoFan: they are using a feature called "automatic vacation" 20. juli 2005, 03:03:09 Onderwerp: Timeout question I am in my first ever tourney
ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated) #10 and one player has not made a single move.

This is tantamount to spamming!  13. juli 2005, 10:14:01 Onderwerp: Re: Taking forever Aangepast door DeaD man WalkiN (13. juli 2005, 10:14:27) Lady Temper: Hiya and welcome to BK. I see if u win ur last 2 games U still will not move to next round. So if u would like to get into another tourney with shorter time to move. Just forfeit ur last 2 games and ask Fencer the BIG BOSS for the site to remove u. If I remember right he can do that for U. Oops forgot back to my corner to hide.

http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=9822 Thanks Jo 12. juli 2005, 23:19:34 Onderwerp: Re: Taking forever Lady Temper: New timing settings have been added to BrainKing, so tournaments in the future should not have this problem, but I don't think there's much you can do now but wait it out. 12. juli 2005, 17:52:17 Onderwerp: Re: Taking forever Lady Temper: There must be over 50 games still to be played in there. There's only a few left in your section but the whole first round still has a while to go. 12. juli 2005, 16:35:58  The player i think you are talking about still has 18 vacation days left 12. juli 2005, 16:28:47 Onderwerp: Taking forever I am in a tournament where all my games are done except one (2with same person) and it has been dragging on. They are using automatic vacation to make their moves. I am new here but shouldn't there be a limit as to how long they can do this? Does not seem fair that they can drag a game out like that. (not judging just asking) 11. juli 2005, 22:39:52  no you will be able to play any second rounds /finals even if you have all your slots full , however you wont be able to start/accept any more games untull below your limit 11. juli 2005, 22:27:47 Onderwerp: Tournament Question If my membership expires, and i have a round 2 of a tournament start, do i forfeit the games if i have insufficient space?

NOw I dont know what to do... maybe I will amke the sections bigger, can I change that anytime I want to? 10. juli 2005, 01:01:59 Onderwerp: Re: Czuch Chuckers:
First, it is a 2 hour limit - meaning up to 4 hours of playing (2 hours for each player). And don't forget to let players know if 6 or more players join the tournament, there will be multiply sections - meaning if you win a section, you will have another 1 hour wait from when the first round is complete, then up to an additional 4 hours for the 2nd round to play. 10. juli 2005, 00:56:59 Saturday Night Live Backgammon...
