the main thing that really bothers me is that even if i move 10x a day and my oppenent makes his move 1 hour later than me and I make the last move of the "night" and then i go away for 2 days i lose the game even though i was the main person that was moving quickly. i get no credit for the immediate response of a move. its the immediate response that makes for a quick player.

Nothingness: If you move 10 times a day, your opponent has moved at least 9 times that day. It's not that you're fast and your opponent is slow.

It's easy. If you're going to be away for 2 days - don't play a time control that doesn't allow for that.

Nothingness: I thought it's very hard to complain about games with a time-controll you can choose. But I must agree that you're very succesfull

Play and think like AbigailII, if you know you haven't the time to play, don't play or play a game with a longer time-controll. And change your profile-settings to AUTOMATIC VACATION with that option you can't lose on time

Good luck with your hard decision to join or not
