Onderwerp: Turtle trick #1245

Sorry to have to bring up again the old, old subject, but it has to be discussed somewhere, and I see no better board.

I have this opponent who invented a scheme that demotes our friend the Vanda lover to the rank of amateur. here's the system:

Do NOT activate auto vacation.

Have all your games of at least 5 days timeout length. you can have red-dot games, they wont' disturb the scheme.

Now manually set vac days. Say, today is Monday and your weekend days are Saturday and Sunday. You set your vacation days as follows:

NO  NO  YES YES YES SAT SUN
YES YES YES YES YES SAT SUN
YES YES YES YES YES SAT SUN
YES YES YES YES YES SAT SUN

Etc. Leave a couple of unset days as reserve. All your 5-day games will have a timeout time far in the future.

Now here's the beautiful part. You never use up any vacation day! How? tomorrow is not set. Come tomorrow (Tuesday) you unset Wednesday. Your vacation days now are

DONE NO  NO  YES YES SAT SUN

Apparently the system permits you to unset a day in the future, and your unset days couter goes up by one. Every week, or so, add 5 dayes so that your future vacation days are always 4 weeks thick, at least.

And, from time to time, whenever the mood strikes you, make a move against someone in a game. Mind, do it slowly, savor the click. You do it so seldom!

The only drawback is that you have to log in daily to do this little maneuver. But you don't have to move in any game if you don't really feel up to it.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Should be worth at least 300 points. Or 300 vacation days.

The really funny part is he paid for a forever membership to NOT play any games

alexlee, Pedro Martínez: If Fencer said it is not going to last long, I believe him. He's been successful in closing loopholes before. Thanks for keeping it alive

I believe Fencer too and I am sure he is thinking about it...but if he thinks to long he might see the bird as the perfect member. Buy a forever membership then just drop in to update your vacation! Guy never complains or post annoying messages on the boards that Fencer has to deal with
