montagueX and I are playing 2 tournament games. He has a vacation flag up but his time out has expired. He doesn't answer my messages to please move or resign. What do I do?

Originally posted by Kewpie100% agree. I am tired of playing hardcore tournaments where players use the vacation to extend the game. If the advert is vacation phobic then it should run ex vacation rules.
I've always felt that tournaments with 0 days per move and only a lump of timebank should be excluded altogether from the vacation system. Perhaps we should take this back to Site Ideas yet again, because nobody will see it in this forum.
Originally posted by RagwortWhen I started the 36 days was much less ... 21 or 24. This was much better and less abuse. Who goes on vacation for 36 days per annum where they cannot move?

Unlike other chess websites RHP time continues to tick so your opponent will have less time to finish the game when he returns. For opponents who move during vacation ti ...[text shortened]... time in round two and will time out big style later in the year. Anyway he's moved - good luck!
Originally posted by KewpieI think no vacation in the hardcore 0/21 fair enough.

Originally posted by GruffGriffSorry I think your memory fails you or you have confused RHP with another site. RHP's current vacation system was introduced in March 2007 with 36 days (3 days a month) from it's inception as this thread from the announcements forum shows Thread 63417 following the consultation vote the year before [vid]13[/vid]
