furbster: must be a bug in the system as the same has just happened to my opponent - the game had 20 mins left for them to play and they had no vacation days left - now its just jumped to them having 24 hours to make their move - this is a tournament game and the person hasnt been online for over 2 weeks so getting very annoying
No, we're talking about that number of vacation days, not the amount of time on individual games. If he gets to 0 vacation days he shouldn't get autovac.
His time on the games ticked over yesterday, but he still has 21 days of vacation left. These games will never end!!!!!
Here's a perfect example in Hypergammon of the BG bug. In this position as black I rolled 5-1 and could have moved 12-7 to great advantage (being not able to play the 1). Since this is against the rules I didn't play it that way. Since Backgammon is by far the most popular game, I would think this should be one of the listed priorities.
Fencer, i don't want to name names since it seems like it might be a system error. Any chance you could check into this? I'd kind of like to know how I do in these games before the apocolypse.
While we're on the topic, do we really need 30 days per year? I wish I had 30 days where I couldn't get to a computer, lol. In reality I doubt I use more than 10.
grenv: no, it happened last week, just before the weekend. I wasn't following the development each day, but I know I've seen 3, then 2 days left, now it's back to 21. there are no scheduled vacation days set.
Actually come to think of it I have an opponent who hasn't moved in over a month. That would surely mean at least 20 days of autovacation, yet he still has 21 days left.
rabbitoid: That would happen at the beginning of a new year. Unless you're talking about days left before next move, in which case the extra 20 days is probably a planned vacation.
rabbitoid: oh dear i never noticed that as only just noticed it as a new feature - and heres me getting excited as my opponent whos been on auto-vacation for ages ony has one day left - will have to see if that changes at all
Fiona: it doesn't seem to be working very well. I have one whose counter slowly slipped on towards 0 days, then at 2 days it suddenly climbed to 20 something. the counter is on the way down again. grrrr
i love the new feature where if you click on someones profile you can see how many vacation days they have left - at least now if someone is on auto-vacation you can see how long you may have to wait for them to time out
Emne: Re: all very childish...today you are the "flavour of the month"...
BerniceC: I agree..gee,nice to see I'm not the only one who finds it interesting to watch the human bevavior online.freud would have a field day.can someone tell me why so many peope waste so much time in neagative,destructive behavior?( baiting,flaming,character assassination,argueing,regurgitating political dogma,etc)
the internet could be such a remarkable tool for communication.ok ok,honestly,not all are bad,there are many bright,smart people,esp here at brainking.
When you reply to someones post, it automatically adds the original person's name (in bold) to your new message with a colon (:) after it. Can it be changed to put a comma there instead?
Typically, the colon is used to specify who is talking. A comma is used to specify who you are talking too. I know it is a small issue, but my frail mind doesn't need any more confusion.
When a message is sent from a BIG BOSS of a fellowship to all members, can there be something automaticly added like "Message from Fellowship XXXX's BIG BOSS" - or something that way we can easly tell it's a message sent to everyone, and not a personal message just sent to 1 person.
volant: as far as I'm concerned it is all very childish...today you are the "flavour of the month"...tomorrow, because of a new friendship made you are out of production....so bye bye:) little kids playing at being adults if you ask me :)...but then you didn't did you :) hehehehe
They wouldn't be required to leave a message. Just like when a person leaves a fellowship, they're quite entitled to leave the box blank.
I'd like the option to leave a message for people I remove from HOME. I do this with pawns who haven't been on the site for a few months. I'd like to leave them a message to say if they ever came back, they could re-join.
BIG BAD WOLF: Many Big Bosses are confronted with "Sophie's Choice" by someone in the FS. You either boot friend A or lose friend B. This would be too hard to explain in a message.
I would like to see a message when kicked out of a fellowship - there are many on here with weak minds, and I've had people mad at me just because of what someone else told them - not what is the truth or anything I have ever talked to them about (all second hand gossip). I'm not sure if I had ever been kicked out of a fellowship because of this (have too many fellowships to keep track of), but would be nice to know if I had.
