Originally posted by admwWell, I like it for one. My work takes me away for 21 day periods. I have over 50 TO's in winning positions. 50. If you dont like the timebank, just dont play anybody that wants it. For me it is priceless.🙂
I think that R.H.P. should get rid of the stupid timebank because it gives people a chance to be a lot slower than usual to finish games. Why can't it go back to the way it was?ðŸ˜
Originally posted by admwPlease do take a look at my posts at the thread I pointed you to - I think the whole argument that timebanks would slow down games is a result of people not taking advantage of the system. When used properly, it does the exact opposite - it speeds up games! For the qualification of that statement, see the thread in the Help & Site Ideas forum.
That's exactly what I mean people like you take too much time off playing chess. If you play a game then GET IT DONE!!!!!ðŸ˜

See,this is why I think the timebank is laughable,people will complain about slow movers with or without it.Now we just wait for the first one to complain he got timed out even with the timebank.
Nevertheless,it's a good feature,people should be allowed holidays or business trips without losing a bunch of games over it.

i know from experience that games with Bob normally finish in just a few days (for the whole game).
then he disappears for a few weeks,
i like to play him when i want a fast game.

p.s. this is not intended as an attack on admw, simply a defence of timebank and how good it is.
Originally posted by admwSee here, chap, you are 15 and don't have to work for a living(maybe not)...hence you can sit on you duff all day and play chess, provided of course you get your household chores done on time...Bobla45 works for a living, and his work takes him away for weeks at a time...you'll understand one day when you have to "punch the clock"...in the meantime, if you can't wait for someone to move in 3 weeks, don't play them...just play fast movers..cheers...😉

The Timebank is, to my humble opnion, a very good improvement of the site. Being a fast mover myself I usually don't need the time of the timebank ... but I know a lot of players who don't have the possibility to login on a daily base ... and even I go on holidays sometimes and would hate when Timed-out because of it. Yes, players do time-out even when the vacationflag is up, and they have a right to it as well ... with the timebank in place I can finally go on holidays without the sour taste of knowing I will lose lots of matches because of it.
