In Tournament 1201 it seems that Asthereal won't be making any moves and will most probably get timed out as black, but as he hasn't made his 1st move as white his timebank isn't depleting, what happens here? Does the tournament get held up indefinitly or what?

Slightly different problem, a guy in our group used up his three days allowed and then 7 day timebank before moving, and now moves just before the time expires, even though he is playing other games. Now he has put up "on vacation return 3/24" but is still making moves! What happens now?

What is the problem? They are moving within the agreed timescales.

The only good thing is that once certain players have exhausted their HOLIDAY SAFETY NET then thats it, they have to play or be timed out.
I am against the holidays, I voted against the holidays, but unfortunately more people voted for holidays than against 🙁 and now we are stuck with the HOLIDAY SAFETY NET .
😠
