What kind of vacation system do you want, Doctor? What do you think is the best?
Originally posted by NordlysAny vacation system that doesn't discriminate against non-subs? No, I think he is more specific than that, our dear Doctor.
One that doesn't discriminate against non-subs?
Originally posted by FabianFnasWhilst I take your point re equality I am not happy with the idea that non subs get the same treatment as subccribers.

But in this sense I agree with him. A sub shouldn't be allowed to win a non-sub of the only reason that he has more vacation days to begin with.
Originally posted by MctaytoNeither am I. The non-subs should be able to sniff the advantages of being a subscriber, but that's it.

The idea of a non sub is to give them the opportunity to see what is available and then decide if they wish to subscribe or leave.
Non subs should be kicked out after 6 months if not subscribing but have 100% access to all facilities eg c ...[text shortened]... ic access to 6 games with no frills, no anaylsis board, no notes, no messaging etc indefinately.
Originally posted by FabianFnasThe simply answer then is make it that it is not possible for a non sub to play a sub therefore equality all round 😉

But every game should be on equal terms. This is not the case if subs can go on vacation and let his game go to timeout with immunity, when the non-sub cannot do exactly that. That gives subs an advantage over the non-subs.
I think RHP are very gen ...[text shortened]... it is.
Is it this our friend, the Doctor, thinks about, when writing his last remarks to me?
Originally posted by MctaytoDo you think so? I don't. 🙂

Originally posted by FabianFnasOther sites don't allow non subs to play subs so a possible solution.
Do you think so? I don't. 🙂
I think that every game should be fair, once it has started.
If the vacation system doesn't permit that, then we have to change it, in order of fairness.

I think RHP are very generous with the non-subs as it is.
Originally posted by FabianFnasSomething must be done to offset the low-gameload advantage of non-subs. Ya know, maybe the guy who's playing 100 games at once might need some of those vacation days to keep up with the guy who's only playing 6 at once. 😵

Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveI asked the Tournament Director of the last local OTB tourney if I could play as a non-subscriber. "Non-subscriber, what the hell is that?" he replied. "Oh, someone who prefers to play a limited number of games to try the tournament environment before committing to pay entry fees," I said. I'm afraid I got laughed out of the tournament hall. 😞😞
It doesn't concern me personally very much - it's just offends my 'British sense of fair play' and anyway can you imagine an OTB tournament trying to apply rules like that?

Originally posted by SwissGambitOr… You happen across a OTB tourney on my patch and are given only half the time on the clock as everyone else because your not a member of the national organising body!
