I will play normally, within the rules and timeframes and still finish as many games as possible as quickly as possible,
1. You can't abuse the vacation system. The days for vacation are there for whenever, and however you choose to use them. For whatever reason.
2. Calling and accusing people of being cheats is against the RHP rules.
I agree there should be a limit of games in progress, say 500 or something like that. Some just can't control them selfs.

Why 500 games? It seems an arbitary figure, why not 400, or 750? Whats the logic behind 500?

I was responding to your following quote from a previous post.

I was just stating the facts here on RHP about this quote. Nothing towards you, just referring towards the whiners who called this two cheats and said they were abusing the vacation system.

I said 500 or something. Any of your numbers would be fine with me. Any number that would be fair to all and not let someone way overload themselves with to many games so as to affect others.
Originally posted by KingDavid403How does affect you that he has so many games? I mean if you're playing him then you can claim timeout, win for you how can you be annoyed at that. And pay some respect, he's tried something no person has every done on redhotpawn🙂

Originally posted by BIGWADNot true. At least one other person, Atri, has made it to 2,000 games. He melted down, let his subscription lapse. Surtism decided to take on the challenge to prove that it could be done WITHOUT abusing the vacation system. Abuse is defined as playing virtually non-stop while hiding behind the protection of the vacation flag to avoid timeout losses.

Surtism does deserve respect for playing honorably and keeping his games alive without resorting to vacation flag antics. But what he has proven, by his own admission, is that 2,000 games is too many games to maintain if one has any semblance of a life outside of RHP.
I'm amazed that Surtism has managed to go on for this long without a single timeout loss and for that I salute him. With as many outstanding games as he has with timebank expired, it's likely not if but when that feat will come to an end.
Originally posted by jayaitchIt's not part of the TOS, but the definition of abuse is described in at least the 3rd, 4th, and 5th post within this thread.
Where on this site is that definition?
Surtism defined abuse in the taking on of the challenge and stated he would not engage in such abuse and very much to his credit, he is as good as his word.
So, what is abuse? If I go on holiday and find somewher ewith an intenet connection, shouldn't I play? The advice on the site is that a player should take more days timebank than tbey are on holiday for to ensure they have a chance to catch up on games, so playing games whilst the vacation flag is on is approved by the owners of the site. Where does abuse begin or end?
