23 Oct '06 14:0124hrs is ok and 12 or 6 doesn't make sense?
23 Oct '06 14:12Originally posted by NordlysLOL! 6 hour games would be so sweet! You could make a game with these time controls and get noobs to take the game and time them out when they took a nap.
I don't know about you, but most people have to sleep from time to time.
23 Oct '06 14:28Originally posted by fmvA 6 hrs timeout doesn't mean the game is finished in six hours, it means you have 6 hours to move after your opponent has moved. Let's say I make a move at 10 pm CEST (my local time). My opponent, who happens to be in California, moves three hours later - 4 pm for him, 1 am for me. Six hours later, he times me out while I am still asleep. Sweet.
Most people are awake for 6 or 12hrs, Finnegan.

New users takes the game not knowing what it is... makes 3 moves... and the other guy times him out in his sleep and gets free rating points.
Why don't you realize this is a bad idea? I guess it doesn't mate ...[text shortened]... ou could grasp the concept of what this site is for and realize why your idea is so bad.
