I'm playing a guy that keep the vacation sign on all the time, but I can see he is online, but very rarely moves....I think he is taking the piss !!!
Is it bad form to claim the win as his time clock is about to run out.
You're always free to time someone out, even if their vacation flag is up. You just have to decide if you want to. If you think he's abusing it, then go ahead.

Originally posted by arrakisexactly. I just moved in all of my games waiting (51), but more than half of them had the timebank running. That wasn't because of lack of time, it was more a lack of motivation in combination of not knowing what moves to make. How long is the timebank and timeout in your game?

I assume the question about the time bank was meant for RSMA1234?
I prefer times of 3/7 for my games.

The timebank is 14 days and the move timout 3 days.
The player has been doing this for a number of weeks now, thats why I don't think he is on hoilday.

That is funny! He says he has been ill for a couple of days as in the past tense. Why put a vacation flag afterwards????
