pgt: Thanks for the note. I am sure you have a valid point, and I figured this might be the case. As grenv says, he made the same suggestion before. Is there anything you can recall from those previous discussions that could be used to motivate players who want only to have reasonable time limits respected to join with us and voice their support?

So far, a handful of us have expressed at least some lack of satisfaction with the current system. If, in fact, there are many more of us who are displeased with the status quo than those who are taking advantage of the system, do we not have a legitimate grievance? Now, I don't wish to engage in an "us versus them" argument--this site is far too magnificent for that--nor do I want to isolate the slower moving players. Just have them get off of their dead butts and make those moves!!! .... However, it is not realistic to suppose this will happen without a healthy bit of, shall we say, "arm-twisting", for there are many people (and please, I hope no one will take this as some kind of personal indictment, it's just human nature) who either cannot or will not properly regulate themselves and their time; and in the absence of their accommodation, I purport that we have no choice other than to band together in as large a group as possible, and then politely ask Filip (in the name of fairness, among perhaps other nouns) for a modification of the auto-vac policy in order to curtail these delays.
