sieges are games where one person is white and has to defend the board. this means that a successful defend is a win. a draw or a loss cause that person to lose command of the board and the person who beat you takes control of the board until he loses a game and it keeps going.

Perhaps you should leave the explaining to those of us who have actually played a siege. The defender plays with black.

Trust me to join a 7 day timeout siege. I joined the queue on the 25th August 2004. I am still in position 9. 😠

Odds are I will lose in one game against Prefect.

All the x/0 and x/3 (x=1,3,7,14,21) siege queues are oversubscribed - the 1/0 red board has a queue with 35 people in. In general I don't think the ones with larger timebanks actually take much longer - the timebank can only be used once, but you can drag your feet for ages even with a fairly small timeout. Try joining one of the x/14 or x/21 queues, there's normally at most 2 people in the queue and I've not had to wait all that long .... 😴
