with the new timebank system i don't think we need a 3 day minimum any more,

i think 1 and 2 days should be options as well. perhaps with a condition that there is an attached timebank.

Anyone who chooses to play a 0 day timeout will have to live with sleepless nights if a game drags on.

I don't think that this is stupid: That's the way Kasparov and his freids play chess: they fix two hours for each (here: 40 days) and then they start to move... some advanced timing methods include 2 additional seconds per move (which is NOT equivalent to the T/O, but nearly the same - BTW: This could be an idea for future implementation Russ, no?), so that no one looses in the endgame due to lack of time.

@Russ: will the 1day T/O come?
