Is there a way to get more vacation hours before my membership timed-out? Thanks for the info.

I like the new system using hours instead of days for vacation.
Will the number of hours for vacation also be mentioned as days, so as to have an idea about the remaining time ?

I would recommend sending those you want to save to that Archive box. (If that's the one you meant they disappeared from, then I don't know what to say! lol)

in my events box (in box) I only keep the tournaments I have won, the achievements I have won and the ponds I have won.

Can someone tell me why half of them are missing? NO I HAVNE't deleted then accidently.

I really like the fact that is will add 1 hour to ALL GAMES - and not just the ones that timed out.

Even though it hasn't been a problem for me for awhile since I got my game count down - when I had 1,000+ games and something would come up and I was unable to play for a few days - having the time only added to games that timed out mean all my games suddenly had less then 24 hours to play... meaning sometimes it would take me a couple extra vacation days to "catch up" to normal play.

I agree with you Fencer, less options makes an automated system less abusive. Keep it that way. Even for a turned based game-site , set rules for those who have never seen a real gameboard in their life or just people trying to abuse the system. Internet has given these options, But we / i also want to keep; a nice pace, stay interested in the games, not losing the flow, the feel and emotion of a game while waiting for an opponent.

Subiectul: Re: Vacation
happyjuggler0: You might decide it's not worth using up lots of vacation to save one or two games from timing out, when you might need the vacation later in the year to save many more games from timing out. This could happen if you're desperately trying to finish your games before going away, but due to a slow player or two, you don't quite make it.

Because of the reason Fencer is changing it. Some like to pick their own vacation days...then cancel them so they get the extended time to play but NEVER actually use a vacation day

Fencer:
All vacation will be automatic, which also means that the calendar would be removed from Settings page (it should disable all attempts of cheating by periodical setting/unsetting of scheduled vacation days, as we could see in the past). Users of all membership levels will be allowed to activate/deactivate automatic vacation anytime.

*Users of all membership levels will be allowed to activate/deactivate automatic vacation anytime.* If we choose to deactivate automatic vacation would we then be able to schedule vacation days like before

Ok, I messed up the first time that I tried to make him a public friend, but I got it right this time.

I think that what I did the first time was click the wrong button after clicking the lock, and as a result I actually removed him from my friends list. I had to put him back on the list again, which I thought was odd at the time....

A few days ago someone bought me a membership, so I put him on my friends list. When he is online, the right side of my screen shows his name.

However I don't see his name on my profile as a public friend. Why not? What do I have to do to make that happen?

Subiectul: "Go to next game of similar type" button
Apparently Jungle, Assimilation, Dice Pokers, Mastermind, Frogs Legs/frogfinder, Mancala, Froglet are all of" similar type".
To my mind the relationship isn't obvious. When I want to go to a similar game it is from triple/not triple dice poker 6d to dice poker 5d not mancala/assimilation/etcera!

Subiectul: auto-pass?
it seems to me there was an "auto-pass" feature on the site a while back; i never knew what it was for, but i think i've figured it out: i'm playing a game of Ludo; would auto-pass prevent me from being notified that it's my turn when i can't make a move, and just pass the turn for me? and if so, where is the auto-pass setting? i want to turn it on!

thanks.

Subiectul: Re:
Mélusine: Once any fellowship tournament starts (team challenge or site team tournament) - you can LEAVE that team at any time and join another fellowship's team. There is nothing keeping you on that team once the tournament starts.

I just tested it - I was in one fellowships for the Knight Fight team - I had already removed myself from that team (continuing to play the games for that tournament), and joined another team. Not sure about the issue when a fellowship is deleted, probable just a bug in programming, but for normal running fellowships, you shouldn't be trapped and should be free to join another team if you want.

7. Noiembrie 2010, 03:46:02
Mélusine 
And I don't speak about games (in team tournaments) you play for f/s which have been deleted after the beginning of the tournament.
For what I said before (a team with less than 4 players) you can hope to find another player, but when the f/s is deleted : you're convicted ! : you have to wait the end of the tournament (shall I speak again about slow players ?! ).
But, in this case, you're also punished ! : at the end of the tournament, you're blocked and can't join no more teams for this game. Luck is with you because Fencer had the good idea to create a bug tracker and each time I asked, this problem has been solved (thanks to him).
But I must admit this irritates me a little and I've actually this problem with 4 games and I've not informed, so I'm blocked for these games.

Subiectul: Re: Every team should have a captain
" it has been requested before, that there should be a way for players in teams to either make themselves available or not without having to leave & rejoin teams " : I totally agree with that.
And I'd like to be able to join several teams for the same game. Because when I like a game, I'd like to play it more often. I understand that it can make a problem when the 2 teams where you are play together, but in this case, only one choice would be possible (for the player) for example.
I say this, because sometimes you join a team, you play several tournaments and suddenly (I don't know why) many players leave the team and you're now less than 4 in the team, so you can't play other tournaments (because not enough players) and you can't leave the team for another because the tournaments aren't finished (even YOU have finished).
And we'll speak again about slow players.... (it will remember something to Gouwe gover and Gabriel Almeida - a discussion we had on another board).

Subiectul: Re: Every team should have a captain
coan.net: OK, so how about by default the Big Boss of every Fellowship should be in the Teams (that have been created) and then also made Captain, then if someone would like to take over it is easy, BUT to have the Boss join Teams (even if he does not play) just so he can put the Teams into a Tournament is pretty stupid really
You know the Madhouse tries to enter a Team all the time in any Tournament that is there, but getting players is one thing, trying to fins a Captain is something else (though i have to admit, i do not know why).

Gouwe gozer : It is simple, if you want to play in a Tournament, join that Team, once the team is entered, then leave....no problem.

Fencer : I am Captain of many of my Teams, BUT i do not always play, simply for a fact as that it is a game i can not play or i am crap at, but i make myself Captain just so we can take part.

ALSO, it has been requested before, that there should be a way for players in teams to either make themselves available or not without having to leave & rejoin teams. A better way would be able to set your own parameters for a Tournament in your settings (i.e. you will play if it is 5 days, standard vacation etc...).
