In the past I have seen sometimes that some of my opponents have announced their vacations,even so they have continued to play some of their games. So they have used their vacations to extend their time limits in some of their games.
I think,during the vacations the players should not be able to play their games! Either they have vacations or not!
Interesting. It's not a big problem to implement but is it really what people expect from vacation days? For example, one is not sure if he will be able to play tomorrow, so he sets a vacation day, then he actually comes here the next day [because of some reason] and since the vacation day cannot be cancelled at this moment, he won't be able to play. Kind of frustrating, isn't it?
But maybe I am wrong.
That would be frustrating. I have used them when I travel and didnt know if I would have access or not and then got lucky and found a puter and got online. I do understand your point though about just using them to extend their times. Not an easy choice.
That’s a good point, but let me play devils advocate here. Lets say that we are allowed to use our allotted vacation time for anything we want. The last time I used mine was a few months ago when I had to bring my computer to the shop for repairs. Thanks goodness for vacation time because it ended up being a week before I was up and running again… anyway I did have an opportunity to use another computer a time or 2 while my computer was gone, and it felt great to be able to make some moves to relieve my withdrawal;) to my way of thinking, it would be a shame if I had not been allowed to make the moves when I had the chance.
