How can vacations last forever?

I'm playing against someone who has been on vacation for literally weeks.  At one point he got all the way down to one day left, and the next time I take a look, he's got over a week left.  How does this happen?

I /wish/ vacations last forever. I wanna go to another country or something

Somethings wrong, if it happened that way. Yet another bug, perhaps.

Avatar of dillydream

Yeah, and meanwhile I've been waiting a month or more for his next move!!!

What do you know that I don't, wafflemaster?

Back when I was a paid member, and because vacation accumulates with the age of the account, I had something ridiculous like 90 days of vacation available.

Yes, I understand that, but this guy ran out of vacation time and then suddenly had more than a week left.  He has not even been on the site since June 10th.

someone just went on vacation against me in a position where he is 10 points of material down, with no compensation - as if there could be enough compensation for that amount of material. why does he not just resign -_-


-edit- he is also going to lose his rook for free next move, sigh.

@Molokombo:  Annoying, isn't it?  Perhaps he thinks some magic will occur while he's away!

i wouldn't mind so much if i had already played a lot of CC games here, but i only just started playing them and i don't want to start lots of games against low rated players and have my rating go ridiculously high. normally i'd just forget about it and start another game.

Keep the memory in your heart forever, and live in the moment. Vacation is essentially state of mind, not so much a travel event. Occasionally the time comes that the memory can be relived as a new vacation.

Trolls are annoying also!

And here we go again ... Yesterday at 7:30 p.m. he had 5 hrs. 45 minutes of vacation left.  This morning he has 20 hours left.  Surely this is some glitch in the system?

You get an extra days vacation on the 1st and 16th of the month.

Ah, thanks Scottrf, that does explain this particular happening.  I may die of old age before this game ends.
