Because I can't play em all
I technically made my move 4 hours before game would have been forfeited, but I guess now I gain rating points for this game instead of losing them.
This game is not part of the Big-dog tournament, so I'm not the official arbiter.
But in my view, aidanB1 never announced a vacation in this thread (neither to his opponent, nor to evert823) so he is not in vacation time.
HolographWars issued a time warning at 7:00 AM on June 27, so aidanB1 must play a move by 7:00 AM June 28 (my time zone). That's in about 6 hours. After that either evert or HolographWars can call the game (win for Holograph).
btw, the official rule is (from here):
Vacation time: Each player is allowed four vacation days (added to the 3-day move limit, for a total of 7 days for a move), and this is refreshed at every 40 moves. The player must announce it before using the extra time. Vacation days cannot be banked.
I shouldn't just quit, and the rules are in my favor. But if you just want rating, I can still play.
Not sure what to do with Martino's rating list. I guess we could say that I get my rating and Aidan's rating is not affected
Why would you get rating? The bulldog federation agreed that this game plays on. If anything, I should be the one gaining rating!
Did they agree? Did they include your vote? And vickalan said that public Statements do not count. I will not relent.
YOU DID NOT WIN!!!! I am in the bulldog fed and I know for a fact that we are still going. So stop whining and play!
From a few PMs I learned that the "Bulldog chess federation" (whoever that may be) is considering that aidanB1 is allowed to go on playing this game, but getting a warning that next time he really should announce his vacation to each opponent.
If you think your position is so good, then move against me right now
I put both games on vacation because I am busy, gosh. And this is not your business.
