Let me try

grenv: Lets say for example I'm one once a day - 9am to about 10am.

I come online at 9am on Tuesday, I make a move in the pond at 9:05am, but have to leave right away.

Just happen to be the last one, move is sent, 1 day limit starts.

Wednesday - I'm a little late, I do not get on until 9:30am - OPPS, the day limit is gone in the pond game and my auto-bid made me fall into the pond.

(hopefully that example will work a little bit beter)
