It's weird, my wife's disappeared. Maybe I was in a species of BrainKing catalepsy from which her existence or otherwise ceased to register. Fencer, can you put a warning on the front page: "this site may be unsuitable for those who might ignore their wife if thinking".

There is an easy to find, clickable question mark.

12. prosince 2004, 16:38:45

People not new to the site might be aware of it's existence and understand what little red numbers signify.

12. prosince 2004, 16:22:24

It holds all the old news, just an archive of past events. People new to the site may find it interesting.

12. prosince 2004, 16:15:32

Then what, one can't help wondering, is the function of the Server News board, other than to store stuff one scrolled out of the way of games in which one was unable to decide a move?

only 3 days till run around the pond starts woooo, can't wait to see what its all about

12. prosince 2004, 16:09:04

Yes, ughaibu. It just removes that particular news item. Any fresh ones will appear on your main page as normal.

yes

12. prosince 2004, 15:58:01

If one removes the server news does it turn up again every time there's new news, so to speak?

I'm taking you off hide and removing your posts. I will be happy to bring up your problem on the Mod Squad board for you. Maybe they will have an answer. Please don't post here again on the subject.

When does the round the pond game start?
Also, did read the rules, mostly about scoring, but doesnt say anything about the actual game? What exactly is it?

Has it been suggested that auto vacation not be activated if a person is logged onto the site that day?

11. prosince 2004, 19:22:28

Yes, that's how it works.

It DOES seem like it should go both ways, rabbitoid. I agree.

can you send messages to people who are on your enemy list? that's not logical

to quit sending me empty messages ... although it appears
to be representing the value of her default messages well
(i.e. empty even if, at a time, containing words) it's irritating. ~*~

No days carry over.

On January 1st, you get a fresh 30 days.

So if you have about 10 vacation days left, you can take the rest of December off if you want! :-)

Subjekt: Re:

do we get 30 new vacation days every jan. 1st, and if you have days left over at the end of this month, do they carry over and then added to your 30 new days?
thx.

Does anyone remember a place on-line where you can translate Czech to english?

10. prosince 2004, 23:05:53

Thats right, you can still play on those days even if they are set as vacation days. But if you can't play, you won't time out :o)

Subjekt: Re: Auto Vacation and Regular Vacation

Thank you harley. I just went there and was able to activate vacation days for next Tuesday and Wednesday. Ah, the joys of hearings.
As I've gleaned from the discussion about the use of vacation days, if I'm able to play those days, it'll be OK to do so. Sounds like a good way of doing of to me.

10. prosince 2004, 22:36:58

Sorry, it says 'activate automatic vacation'. Under the calendar heading.

10. prosince 2004, 22:35:34

Its on your settings, Walter. A tick box that says 'enable auto vacation'

Subjekt: Auto Vacation and Regualr Vacation

Where are they located? I might have need of such a feature the next time I travel. I timed out two games awhile back because Vasailia's library wasn't open on Friday and by the time I got to Bakersfield the games had timed out.

Subjekt: Vaction Time

Maybe, you should be prevented from playing on a vaction day. That way you can't be selective on what games to play. With a comming off vaction day that allows you to play that day but then you can't take vacation afterwords.

I personally don't care much about it, I rarely look at games where someone else it going to move. If they are slow, I rarely notice.

Now if we can just get an option to show the notes field ABOVE the game board, instead of way below the submit button - we would be in busness! :-)

10. prosince 2004, 12:57:03

:) i use notes for that .. but i have to admit its tough in espionage .. also because there is a small bug when you go back in the history .. but still this use of auto vacation could be what people call abuse as its lagging the game

Subjekt: Re:

Truthfully? Because they are Espionage games and I need to go thru and figure out what pieces my opponents have left and what have been captured. I wish there were a captured pieces section, but this is opening up another can of worms that probably belongs on Feature Requests or the Espionage board.

10. prosince 2004, 12:47:46

the question is why you are using vacation days to prevent those games to time out while you are playing other games .. why dont you play the most urgent ones first ?

10. prosince 2004, 12:44:16

Thad

Subjekt: Re:

Well, that would work, Fencer. ;-)

I still think accruing days would work well too. ;-)

What about the situation I'm in now? I am using vacation days to keep some games from timing out but I am playing others. Would I only get 5 days?

MASTERMIND, what is it you need to deal with me about?

10. prosince 2004, 12:42:12

*nod* true :)

right now i think the abusers are just using their left overs before the year ends .. what about limiting the number of auto vacation days to 5 per month as well ? that would make it a max of 2 times (i think)

10. prosince 2004, 12:37:56

Hrlqs: He cannot do it more than 6 times, considering the max number of vacation days :-) And the perfect solution does not exist, of course. We are just trying to find the best approximation.

10. prosince 2004, 12:37:20

oops it took me too long to write that post ...

i started using notes as well after i made some plans crash .. it works (although sometimes i forget to read them ;))
