Am I the only person fed up with playes displaying the vacation flag but continuing to move?

It should be possible to bar a player from moving when displaying the vacation flag.

People use that feature when they're away from home and its still possible for them to move from various computers wherever they are, but the display the flag because they cant guarantee theyll be able to get to a computer to move on. if they do, great, but no guarantees. however, i am inclined to believe that people do abuse the featureand just display it for kicks so others wont time them out.

Heaven forbid that while on vacation anyone gain access to a comp. and make a few moves!

It's not a crime to take a holiday, nor is it a crime to break into someones home while on holidays and "borrow" their computer for a few lousy minutes....oh...wait a sec.....forget that last part.

I have to take a rest by medical prescription. A week ago I put the flag. Today I will make some moves, and after that I must to return to bed. Which is the purpose to put off my vacation flag, only for a few minutes? My ill condition persists. I think I'm being honest. Do you think I'm acting wrong?

Thanks Nikki. I have to rest in bed for a week or two more. I'm really bored, so in spite of the medical prescription I'll make some moves from time to time, and I'll try to post in the forums.

I appreciate a lot your post. It makes me feel better. And less alone.

regards

Michael (aka LittleBear)

Personally...

I couldn't care less if they're up and dancing in their graves...never mind moving when on vacation.

If the vacation flag wasn't there people would just write their notices in their profile.
Think of the vacation flag as an easy way of doing that.

I know someone who puts the vacation flag up as an existential acte gratuite. I pay no attention to them whatsoever except as a guide to when friends are coming back online; I only put mine up when I've finished my current games, that way I'm not messing anyone around.

most people do use it properly though,

i'm playing somebody now who is moving while on holiday and hence if they do run out of time they will get no special treatment

Trust me buddy, the little cheesy yellow square with the tiny plane, is not there to make me look cool or do I have a fetish for it..

On second thoughts tho......

Sorry to hear that, and thanks for posting your story. No, of course you're not doing anything wrong, and this is a good example.

I wonder if perhaps there could be multiple categories of holiday flag. Personally, I never time anyone out anyway, because I figure my rating will eventually end up where it's meant to be if I play honestly. The only time I'd time someone out is if their game was taking up space because they hadn't moved for ages (which has never happened so far).
