Well said.
Manipulation of the system is permitted.
Obviously some people don't like it when their opponent is 'manipulating' the system against them and feel it's unsportsmanlike - which in some cases I'm sure it is..

Perfect, David!! Rec'd.
I'm tired of this discussion.
It's very simple: if you want a faster game, you change your timeout preferences according to the rules applied in the site. So, after the vacation system implementation, I started playing mainly faster (1/7) games.

It's not just about wanting a faster game anyway. 🙄
ps. Strange to join a discussion to say you are tired of it!

Maybe people should subscribe if they're upset with the vacation system. Then again, people only get 30-36 days a year! ðŸ˜

I'm not really that upset about the vacation system, it would be passable if there was a choice to turn it off by agreement with your opponent before starting a game.
In any case, I don't use it so it doesn't affect me - though I would prefer to be able to play subscribers too but you can't have everything free, I guess.

When did it change to 18? I subscribed fairly recently and I got 36.
Frankly, the vacation system was one of the reasons I subscribed.
I'm not comfortable pointing and laughing at xym without this info, so please respond soon.

If I subscribed before the vacation time went down then I guess I'd consider myself lucky 🙂
