This can be problematic and I timed out using this and i was making multiple moves per day and still timed out even though the game was well in hand. If we can tweak the clock that would be great but we used to have the ability to change the time in mid match to avoid unforseen emergencies. So if i was moving fast then i knew i could not make a move for the next 6 days i would not lose my game. Max time for a game NEVER! Many games can last many months making 2-3 moves per person per day. i think we used to have a 3 day limit with the ability to change it to 7days when an emergency arrived then we would change it back when we got back.
Nothingness: I don't think we ever had the ability to change time pace on BK (and certainly not in tournament games). I like Fisher clocks. I used to play on FICS, and I always use the Fisher clock. Little golem uses a Fisher clock as well. Yet, I never play games with the Fisher clock on BK. Because here on BK, Fisher clock implies no vacation days. And I know that during the year I will go on vacation. And there's no garantee at all a game or match doesn't last half a year. Or that a next round of a tournament doesn't start during, or right before my vacation.
Would BK have time pace of Fisher clock with vacation days, I'd never use the regular clock again.
AbigailII: Have you tried something like 3/2/30? You'd start with three days to play the game, but every time you made a move, you'd add two days to that total. Assuming you made a move every day for a while, you'd build up extra time up to the max of 30 days. Then you could take a long vacation.
