But as Steve pointed out, it's already in motion

23. Octombrie 2004, 16:11:08

I think we can do without it since some ppl are misusing it

23. Octombrie 2004, 16:10:25

So that's what all the huffy is about LOL

23. Octombrie 2004, 16:07:41

LMAO

apparently timing out is an emergency ;)

23. Octombrie 2004, 16:03:58

How does the auto vacation know it's an emergency LOL.

23. Octombrie 2004, 16:03:04

ok.

It is the auto vacation that is for "emergencies" Sky... If it is not an emergency then one can use the vacations normally.

23. Octombrie 2004, 15:41:57

I didn't know vacation time was for emergency's.

Sorry you had to agree with me.
I must have been bored, to be so repetative.

I doubt "most" people are "tired of listening to steve whine"... You always do that. You feel a certain way, and try to make it sound like a majority feels the same, even though you have no idea, LJ... There is NO reason for Stevie to be banned! (not this time anyways.. LOL!) :-P

23. Octombrie 2004, 04:59:58

No, because you would obviously not be onsite :o)

23. Octombrie 2004, 04:59:37

Kevin

Well, if you are using auto-vacation and you end up not having to go, none of your games should "time out", and therefore no vacation days should be used.

DeaD man WalkiN

Subiectul: So if I set

vacation days up. Cause I may have to be gone with my daughter and for some reason I don't have to go, u say that is abuse?

23. Octombrie 2004, 04:57:18

Somehow I think it will be a no do it anyways

23. Octombrie 2004, 04:51:00

but who would keep the records though? Thats a lot of work for the players to do really

23. Octombrie 2004, 04:30:58

How would you know Ughaibu?

I modified it to add flaming LMAO
I couldnt give two hoots if you are getting tired of me whinging. The only problem i have is I say what others think and dont say. So looks like its just me. But it isnt. Whereas the likes of you, you say what you think the boss man wants you to say. cant get much lower can you

23. Octombrie 2004, 03:33:55

Modificat de Stevie (23. Octombrie 2004, 03:35:38)

23. Octombrie 2004, 03:32:11

Once more LJ shows his true self. nose covered in the brown stuff etc. Whats wrong?? you want rid of someone who shows you for what you are???

I see you signed on with both accounts LJ you should shut up and play both sets of games. ooopps sorry, you said its your wife momentarily didnt you before deleting the commenet LOL I guess your post below wont stay long either.

Subiectul: Re: Stevie and others

It is just not a right attitude. Once there is a feature which people do find useful from time to time, it should not be abolished just because some others abuse it. Such an attitude would lead, then, to a "tyranny of the abusers", because BK would be further developed with respect to preventing these from acting abusively and not with respect to helping us all to have a good gameplay.

Do you see my point ?

23. Octombrie 2004, 03:04:24

I dont think it is that tough to see... If you are away from the site, automatic vacation days to prevent time out is fine. there should be no limit to it, except for the amount of vacation time you have left. If you have logged into the site within 24 hours (or some specific amount of time) of a game being timed out, the Automatic vacation should not be turned on for you.

I think we all agree, it should not be used to add time to a game when a person is available to make a move.

23. Octombrie 2004, 02:31:21

Jason

I agree that auto vacation should not be allowed to be used on games if a person has signed into the account at any period , and even if it does kick in a maximum limit of 2 or 3 days should be allowed .

23. Octombrie 2004, 02:27:09

Thanks Loup :o)
The diference is BBW to set it manually means they have to go out of their way to do it.
Whereas its easy to sit back and let an auto thing kick in

23. Octombrie 2004, 02:21:56

coan.net

but the thing is, even without auto vacation, that same person can hold up the tournament for over a month.

23. Octombrie 2004, 02:20:20

grenv

hear hear. Finishing the tournament is the fun part. If you time out for whatever reason then enter the next one. It's not the end of the world.

Subiectul: scooby and others

Most of the time Stevie and I don't see things the same way. But on this auto vacation crap. I do have to say Stevie is saying most everything I think is right on it.
So on the 1 or 2 day tourney, if a person has not takin 1 vacation day all year they could hold a tourney to make it last for 1 turn over a month. Yes as it is now that the way the rules have it but is it really being a true sport about the game? ok puff back to my corner I pop.
:o{P

23. Octombrie 2004, 01:51:53

LMAO your loss ;oÞ

23. Octombrie 2004, 01:49:33

scooby

I dont want to talk to you. Ive been warned things

23. Octombrie 2004, 01:44:42

Scooby, Im sure youll be told..."get a membership" so you can have more games etc. But thats not the answer is it ;o)LOL

23. Octombrie 2004, 01:42:19

scooby

especially annoying when its against a pawn :( It would only need 1 player to do this and hold up a tournament we are in for ex. Or 20 players to do it and we have no games to play

23. Octombrie 2004, 01:16:59

hence..the words abused upchuck

but i dont think its worth mentioning anymore cos obviously the managements minds are made up

23. Octombrie 2004, 01:03:07

One point not yet mentioned (I think) is that these people are not away with an emergency, they are here...

I like auto vacations too, for emergency use. But maybe it could be set to only work if a player is not on the site? If they are here and purposly not playing games that are due to time out, the auto vacation should not be kicked in. Personally, I dont think any vacation days should be valid if the person is on site. If you can accept a 5 day limit game, and you are able to get on site, you should have to play your games at that limit, period.

22. Octombrie 2004, 20:22:26

and of course you are right ;o)
nice when goal posts allways move isnt it :o(

I've never said I have a great memory! Feature requests is just that. People suggest things, Fencer & Liquid add what they like. I don't remember many objections if this was mentioned at features? I could be wrong though so don't jump on me for that one! I think most people would be glad of this if they ever needed to fall back on auto-vation. As was said earlier, for the majority its a great addition. Of course there are always a few who will abuse it, as with anything. But overall, it will benefit most people.

22. Octombrie 2004, 20:18:10

I doubt it

22. Octombrie 2004, 20:17:42

BuilderQ

On the other hand, won't the auto-vacation feature make players more willing to play 1-day-per-move games, hence resulting in faster game play?

22. Octombrie 2004, 20:15:50

nope, i remember the suggestions made on feature board

22. Octombrie 2004, 20:15:05

harley

Yes, a chosen few wanted it. Fencer and Liquid. And last time I looked, they don't have to ask anyone before adding every small detail to their site!

22. Octombrie 2004, 20:12:32

Subiectul: Nobody is dictating to you. The rules have been set, you have to learn to live with them.

no one dictating???
So were we all asked if we wanted this addition? or did just a chosen couple want it, so hey presto

22. Octombrie 2004, 20:12:26

harley

Because, Stevie, even people who want to abuse the auto-vaction can only do it 30 times! And then they lose all their vacation days, and they can't avoid timing out, and if they want to go away they won't be able to set any more days.
