I can see both sides to this debate. Sometimes it is frustrating to have a totally won game and your opponent dissapears on vacation (whether a paying member or not). I have a solution to this problem...why dont we have a tab that can be checked or unchecked that offers for the game to be (no vacation allowed?). You could put a seek out, check the tab, and only people who agree not to go on vacation can accept? this way players who want vacation can have it, and players who dont play others who dont? we could also have a setting in the tournemant creation tools to make a tournemant ''no vacation'' too. This wouldnt affect non 'no vacation games, if a player did go on vacation, he would only time out in those games where BOTH players had their ''no vacation'' tab checked? just an idea....this way erik, i think it is possible to please everyone :-))

For any players reading this thread who agree with the no auto-vacation side - I've created an open tournament for players with less than 3 hours per move asking that nobody takes more than 7 days vacation time. 8 players in total with all games to happen simultaneously. Let's get it on, fast players!

The tourney is called Quickplay Open, by the way.
