Originally posted by mushypeasWhether on vacation physically or not matters little if the opponent has access to the internet (eg is not on a camel holiday in Chad where for all I know their iPhone may work perfectly well: must check for Chad flags later). You can certainly see when they last moved and that is more relevant. And if there is a skull available, then who cares?
Hi
Is there anyway of seeing when my opponent returns from vacation?
Thanks

Originally posted by starkravinSubscribers have 36 vacation days per year. You can certainly ask an opponent to hold up a game, but it is their decision. In tournaments the RHP computer automaticly times you out 2 days after your total time expires, neither you or your opponent can stop that. Perhaps you can finish up games before you leave for extended periods?
Can some one tell me if you are really only allowed 12 days vacation in a year

Can some one tell me if you are really only allowed 12 days vacation in a year. I am retired and away for about 4 months a year.
Thank you
Not sure what'll happen when 2009 comes round - you'll probably get the full 36 days.

Originally posted by starkravinBefore the vacation system, I would message the players I am playing.
Is it possible to ask my opponents if they are willing to hang in til I return?
"I will be gone for about 8 days, and return to our game. You may get a chance to time me out, but if you could give me the extra few days I would appreciate it. I think our game is very exciting, and I would hate to see it end just because I've got to be away from the computer for a week. Please hang in, and I'll be back to continue the game ASAP".
I was never timed out, but often played users I already knew through RHP... I usually only play forum users, not strangers. If someone times you out, just don't play them anymore if a win is more important than the game to them... You just can't get mad because you went over the time allowed.
P-
