Now it has changed to this:
'Effective 14 March 2007, RHP is implementing a new vacation system for "subscribers," whereby they may book thirty-six days when timeout is disabled. Their time and timebank will still count down, however.'
Wtf does 'when timeout is diabled' mean?
😕
It suggests that you just use those days to extend your games length, which isn't supposed to be what really happens...

Pity you can't disable the stupid vacation immunity. ðŸ˜
Vacation free tourneys, and vacation free clan games.
Vacation, pathetic! Use your time wise!

Despite GameKnot having a reported 1/2 a million members, none of them are interested in their page on the Wikipedia. I may not know RHP, the history, the moderators etc but those of you who do can update the Wikipedia page.
To meet Wikipedia's quality standards don't copy and paste from RHP but expand the article.

I do find it a good starting point for reference and it is tempting to use but you have to be certain that what you are quoting is accurate.
I have my own Wikipedia - I own hundreds of books and use them on a regular basis.

so students cannot just copy and paste from Wikipedia, they have got to do their own research.

That is if what arrakas says is even true on this subject.
