Timeout in Clan games

Timeouts for clan challenge games is coming too, but it will apply only to games where neither player has moved for 6 weeks. The purpose is not so much to make people move within the time controls, but to tidy up abandoned games and bring challenges to a conclusion.

So, very distinct from the tournament timeouts.

Great news on both counts.

I may go and join another clan to celebrate.

I don't quite understand why it has to be different from tournament games? Both are competitive games, both should have enforced timecontrols, surely?

There are no additional rounds to progress to, so if 2 people wish to lengthen their game, they can. Normal manual timeout rules apply, so it is just a matter of choice.

So is this challenge 29361 likely to be finished then ??

That was a "happy"ness vote. Not a vote on whether to implement a superfluous vacation period or not.

Would you be happy if rains next week?

Yes: 1472
No: 672

So let there be rain.

But if the question was: Do you want rain next week? You will not get the same answer.

If the question was "Are you happy with the timeout/timebank system?"
what would the result have been.

I believe there would have been an overwhelming "Yes" vote as well.

The admins think they have consulted with the membership. But they haven't.
