TO ALL FELLOW PLAYERS, PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT WHEN PLAYING AGAINST vladimir15 & chessmonkey, THEY TIME YOU OUT EVEN IF YOU HAVE GOT YOUR VACATION SETTINGS ON! I'M NOT A SQUARE, BUT BELIEVE THAT IN THE SPIRIT & SPORTMANSHIP OF THE GAME, all PLAYERS MUST RESPECT AN OPONENT'S VACATION SETTINGS. ðŸ˜
Aha!Then we have a winner!Sad but true.
Sorry,let me clarify.First of all,I understand your grief and I agree that vacation settings should be respected.It's just that I predicted this would happen.I said the timebank was laughable.It was implemented to speed up play and to prevent time outs being claimed while people are away.I knew it wouldn't work.Of course,I don't think anybody expected it to work 100%.
Sorry again,I'm not laughing at your unfortunate loss.It's just that I was waiting for this to happen.May I suggest that,in the future,you only play games with high timebank settings.
Tell you what,I'll challenge you to a game if you want.I never claim time-outs unless you don't move for a few months or so 🙂
Lord Lot.
thanx lord lot, will def keep ur challenge in mind as sson as 1 of my games is finished. im not bothered as such by the fact that he timed out because of my holiday, but if u look at the game, he was seeing his a$$ & thats why he claimed the time-out!
which proves that he is a sour loser.
a quick question, there is a player who hasnt moved 4 days now, where do i click 4 a time out because i cannot seem 2 read it anywhere?
Originally posted by shieldmasterIf you have the option to claim a time-out,there should appear a skull next to the game on the 'my games' page.Just click on the skull.

thats just it, i know about the scull, but there's no scull anywhere on the page & im sure there wasnt any scull on the other 2 player's pages when they timed me out! it is a cause 4 concern & sum1 must alert the administrators.
Originally posted by shieldmasterNope.I never had any problem with time-outs.Prolly 'cause I move every day.Except for a short while when I took a break from chess.But even then I only suffered automatic time-outs in tourneys.
will do so thanx & maybe u as well because the more people that complains, then the more it would be a cause 4 concern.
has it ever happened 2 u?
o ok. u know what the funny thing is, that i even explained the reason 4 my holiday setting was that we had a public holiday on monday, thus would only be able 2 move again 2day cause i play from work.
but i am challenging him under another name & believe me i am soooo hungry 4 revenge!
i have sent feedback 2 the admins & hope they reply soon. will let u know what they say.
Originally posted by shieldmasterI sympathise with you, but that's a big no-no. Having more than one account is against the Terms of Service (link at the bottom of the page), that you agreed to when you signed up on the site - having multiple accounts can get you banned from the site.

.
Also, on your timeout problems, please look at the "help" section first, and read the FAQ to make sure you understand timeouts and timebanks properly - I've found that most people complaining about not being able to time out someone aren't able to do so because there is still either TO or timebank days left for their opponent; in other words they shouldn't be able to time out quite yet. If that is not the case here, then let the site keepers know.
