Originally posted by coentje Is there any way that we can see how much time is left of the 36 days of someones vacation time?
If someone moves while they are on their vacation does the opponents time still counts down?
As I understand it - all timers continue to tick while a player is on vacation, and there is nothing in place to stop moves being made whilst on vacation.
I don't think you can check someone else's calendar - which seems a shame.
What happens if I make a move during my own vacation? Is it at all possible?
Is my thinking time going to decrease during my vacation?
An how about the time bank, is it also decreasing?
Yes, you can move during your own vacation.
Yes, the clock will still be ticking, and the time bank will start depleting once the move time has run out. You just can't be timed out once you don't have any time left. That means that if your time runs out, you need to move while you still have the vacation flag up if you don't want to give your opponent the opportunity to time you out.

What is to prevent someone from putting their vacation flag up and keeping it there indefinately to prevent a lost game from timing out?
I'm playing a member that's one move from mate and he's stopped moving in our game, but still playing in all his others. Somehow I just know that when his 7 day timebank is almost out his vacation flag is going to pop up for a loooooooooong time. He's a real sport.
Originally posted by John of Reading Your opponent is limited to 36 days of vacation per calendar year. But, yes, that will feel like a loooooooooong time to wait for the win.
But most people won't want to waste their entire vacation time just to annoy one opponent.
