I like the idea what was said here before , 3 autovacation days for month . It will be fair for everybody . If you go somewhere , you should use your regular holidays what you got in stock :)
thanks to everyone for the thoughts on the auto vacation, I think it is a great idea, and tend to agree that perhaps only a certain number of auto vacations should be able to be used per game, of course those that abuse the system in the new year will quickly run out of days, and will time out
Jules, were you talking to me...I think buy a membership, get all the vacation days entitled. Start a game, take 30 days straight vacation and never have to move for over a month...Is OK. My only request is to change how many of your remaining vacation days can be used (sequentially) automatically.
But the way you say, If you've only joined for 3 months you only have 9 days vacation.
I think the current system is fair. Everyone gets the same. Apart from the knight rook differences.

I think there shouldn't be any changes to how vactions are given. Just how they are used. If you manually set up your vacations, great! If you are relying on auto-vacation days, like I said, only give as many as the game's Time Per Move settings.
Well, then you either enjoyed using most of your accrued vacation in December, or just joined and probably don't have that many games going anyway and can plan accordingly in either event.
(asked in a friendly way) Why wouldn't it be fair? True, it favors players who have been here the longest, but if it treats everyone the same, it's fair. Plus, in your example, you'd know far in advance that you were going away July, so you could plan games you start in May/June accordingly. No harm done.
Auto vacations are annoying...but...eventually they will run out. How about this...only allow as many auto-vacation days as the Time per move. For example, if the game has 3 days for the time to move, then only allow three consecutive auto-vacation days. If it allows 2 weeks then allow two weeks of consecutive auto-vacation days. That way, it is still somewhat in line with what the game creator had in mind.
Many people accrue vacation days over time at their jobs. They don't start out with the full allotment of days. If vacation time were handled that way here, it would be much better. Perhaps give out 3 vacation days each month. It wouldn't solve every case of abuse, but it would reduce and/or eliminate many of them and I don't see how it would create any new ones.
Yes.. I agree BBW.. I just checked on the one user that has abused this.. only to learn he has 623 games going.. I don't know how many were in the last few mins.. but, a large portion of his games were in their final hours..
Why is he allowed to have so many games to begin with if he isn't going to play on them..
That's great in theory. But hard to do if your in hospital or your puter has burst into flames and the maker won't do anything about it untill their representative comes down from the City and takes a look at it. Only he's just started his two week vacation.
The only thing I would like to see is possible only allowed to use 5 autovacations at one time (with 2 weekend days, gives a week to get back to the site)
After that, a person would have to manualy set vacation days for them to work.
is there anything that can be done by those that are abusing the system, with auto vacation, I have a player whose games keep adding 24 hrs they never play the games will the auto vacation run out at the end of the year, it certainly slows the process of the games
im in a game with a person who should have timed out 5x already but there time jstu keeps recycling. they were down to 2 hours to gobefore they time out, now it back to 22 hours to move. But there is no sign that they are on vacation.

<55ul> and <55li> create combined a list(without 55).....
For example:
<55ul>
<55li>Statement 1 of the list
<55li>Statement 2 of the list
<55li>Statement 3 of the list
</55ul>
Gives...........:
Statement 1 of the list
Statement 2 of the list
Statement 3 of the list
Normally </li> at the end of each statement should be accepted but here it works incorrectly............
