coan.net: 5 days will work for many Americans, but among Europeans, a three week vacation is rather common.
But I don't mind people being on vacation. I don't mind people taking the full amount of time sometimes. What I do mind is people that are on-line almost everyday, and for almost all of their moves wait till it's almost the deadline. Well, coan.net, you know which class of people I mean, don't you?
I'd like for games to progress steadily on average, while still allowing people to take vacations or the occasional break. A time control that combines Fisher + vacation days is what I'd like. Unfortunally, BK doesn't offer that possibility.
