Nothing personal against TsP, but I feel that is absolutely ridiculous and an abuse of the system.

Please tell me how the current vacation settings make any sense!?
Why should you be able to make moves when you're stating to be on vacation.. if you want to continue to move, why putting up that flag then?
Why doesn't the time stop when you put your vacation flag up? Only to return to the game without any tim ...[text shortened]... n that particular set of time... what's the true added value of the current vacation system??
Well, I was going to go into more details but it is unnecessary. Taking a vacation in RHP is not necessary same thing as taking a real vacation to Bahamas, although it can be. Sometimes you just want to buy time in some games and maybe move in some others. I have explained this before.
Vacation is just an 'immunity' from timeouts as Russ explained, that is all. Talking about this issue is futile and waste of time for me.

I am playing a siege game on the orange board and that moron is on vacation; it's been 2 weeks and the whole siege is frozen; I can't even get out of the siege to jump to another one; there should be something I can do right?

Originally posted by Phlabibit Sure it is. Relax, and wait. I waited 2 years to finally get [b]on a board, you can wait 36 days or however long it takes to get you opponant back.

yes I know, the thing that bugs me is that it took me a while to get on board; I am defending it now and that moron wont even start the game

In your games I don't see a siege game - this means it has not been started - go to the board and click the "start game" link.
Either of you can do this - but until you do the game sits in limbo.
(I think it will eventually auto-start but I can't remember for sure)
[edit: scrub that - I can see the game now - does not show up in the list of games for some reason, but your fella there seems to have left 23 days ago with some 178 games in progress.]

Send feedback when the vacation time has expired, Russ will be able to provide a skull for you to click (or if you're squeamish, I'm sure he could do it for you).
You'll have to be patient and wait for the allotted vacation time to run out though before sending feedback as he still able to come back and start this game up properly.
