how can a pirate lives with those vacations?

!!FUCK VACATIONS AND MARINES!!

[COMMENT DELETED]

Fuck.. Again, I was 4 hours away to fuck up all games in second round.. Thanks God I was on time to check tournament status..

Question.. Is there any way of notification when it's my move in a game? Maybe some prog. in systray hanging, whey it's my move.. I don't check my e-mail very often. 

finally :S

Man, half of my opponents use vacation mode.

i sent a message to Patzer(TD) i wish he will do sth

Dear fdCory,

I do believe that it takes longer to write your statements in this forum that just to resign your game. I agree with the rest that your behaviour qualifies under abuse of vacation time. But please, proof that I am wrong, and resign.

All I stated were the facts, If Cory will apologize to all except to the peron who can only say the truth, so be it. It would take a real gentleman do to admit that. He will see more players agree with me when his game is over. I do believe he has personal issues and needed vacation time, but he still could have resigned this game. Cory, just admit the truth, that you dislike that I was so direct with my thoughts. My words were harsh but true. Here is the definition of vacation abuse: Vacation abuse occurs when players use vacation time simply to prolong games that are completely and hopelessly lost. http://support.chess.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/104/3/what-is-vacation-abuse

when you'll resign say that, dont talk so much ?

My apologies to you ladies and gentlemen.  Gentlemen does not include Big Prawn 63. 

I promise you that I will come off vacation time first thing in the morning, and immediately resign this game with Gerlick, for my problems have lessened.  I would come off vacation tonight, but I would have 10 or so games to make a move in tonight, and it is getting late for me.

I am fairly new to chess.com. (~3 months)  and am still learning the ins and outs.  After checking all the group matches, and seeing nothing else going on except the Big's complaints, I realize that I was holding up this whole tourney.  I would have mustered the strenth and come back to resign and then gone back on vac.  It's no excuse, but partly what through me off is when it says the tourney is 82% complete in RED letters.  I feel bad about that and I assure you that I was NOT abusing vacation time, for I had some real problems. 

Sorry again. 

I wonder why the TD doesn't just adjudicate this game.

This is the 13th RAPID Chess.com Tournament! Only players who play their games QUICKLY

I think it should readvertise

fdCory is currently on vacation!

They have 13 days 23 hours of vacation time left, but may be back sooner.

Big Prawn 63,

     Huh?

Big Pawn 63,

•      Personal issues have prevented me from keeping up with my 47 games right now.  I hope to be off vacation later today and will resign immediately. 
•      I asked Gerlick about a month ago to split our games, when it looked like the other was mine and this one was his.  HE SAID, "NO, WE PLAY TO END." 
•      HE WENT ON VACATION HALFWAY THROUGH THE GAME
•      2 or 3 moves ago, if he would have made the wrong decision, the game was a draw.
•      If the TD wants to declare him the winner now, that is fine.  I know I have lost. 
•      I think you should find a better way to spend your time.  Play some more games.  What do you have, 4 going?  Find Something.
•      I would love to play you in a game, but I will disenable the chat option.    Buuaahhaaaahaha.

If this last game isn't an example of vacation abuse, I don't know what is.

Player is still playing his "no vacation" games

Player is a few moves away from mate.

At least I know I will not have to play fdCory in the next round.

I hope the TD will adjudicate the game, if not at least explain why since many players thinks this is an example of vacation abuse.

Some months ago I played similar rapid tourney 1day/move, had advanced to a 2nd round, had good statistics, everything was fine, I was waiting for start of 2nd round, for some days, then some days turned to some weeks, (some guys were on vacation, the same comments in forum, etc..) And finally one day, I logged on and found 8 or 10 games lost on time ! A 2nd round started suddenly, I lost on time, it was really pity about to lose because of some guys who took vacation (((
