You're*

Before you can even talk about intelligence.... you need to learn the difference between your and you're.

No more need be said on the matter.

...and after the scolding I got from Greg last time, no one expects me to comment here, I'm sure! .... However .... To dparmet, allow me to quote Brian again: wait no Malakov or Cornstalk, or who was the other other guy dpartment I think, or even acidtest. That could be the rounder of whiners! In a...

I love the way you talk about yourself

They have you to make up for all our whining times 64.

I'm confused what you are proposing here? 1) Are you proposing the exact thing I just proposed? -or- 2) Are you still in the illogical category of the people that don't understand vacation time and time controls are separate issues. Yes, time controls and vacation time are two completely different ...

It goes without saying that I won't be participating in this as i'm leaving the site when my current 14 games finish. However, best of luck in the idea. Its a good one.

First let me admit that I've been confused after my first exploring of this site when I detected that there wouldn't be a rule or option for vacations. But the solution is quite easy. Indeed you can have vacations as long as you want by using the proper time control: Let it be that x days + y days ...

once again it has NOTHING to do with time controls.

well at least you're civil (the first person to be so). The honest answer is there are just plain better sites. ficgs.com iccf.com uscf.com lss redhotpawn and more. The list is endless. And as long as there is no vacation here, they will permanently be better. FICGS is my main site. They have strong...

The answer is orpheus that you are completely 100% correct and they don't give a -----. They don't understand the concept of vacation despite my attempt to explain it to them. It is like correspondence in the darkages or something.

I won't be losing any on time i'll handle those games (in fact already have). This was not a subject about me personally but about immensely improving this site. timecontrols are NOT vacation time. And no one said you need to expand vacation time to 60 days 14 is plenty. I don't understand how the g...

In this case then its been erroneously overlooked. It is completely essential to any correspodence site. For example, I had to stop starting new games back in JANUARY because I was going to be gone the month of July. Even as it was I two games didn't finish but I had 32 days on my clock. So I made i...

One thing that is definitely lacking from this website is the ability to use vacation time. Just to set yourself hey i'm away! Every other corr site I know of has this with at least 14 days of vacation and some as many as 40 days. How hard would it be to implement this crucial feature?

I would be interested by Christmas right now I have 50 games going between this site and another. 500 games in two years is quite fast actually. It took me almost double that amount of time though my first half year I played very few games to get a feel for correspondence in general.

Congrats! I myself have only played 543 games of correspondence over 3.5 years and 6 servers.

I once otb did repeated draw offers. But the position was R+P+K vs R+P+K my opponent made me play this for 5.5 hours otb. At the end he was running out of moves to play that wasn't three repetition fold. it was 50 move draw when he had less than 3 seconds on his clock. Then he had to proceed to lect...

In my case they seem to come about exactly 24hours AFTER the move is played instead of immediately. Not that it matters for me, but maybe that info will help Greg pin the bugs and fix it.

I play on ficgs.com

But I used to play on redhotpawn.com and IECG.com and there is also other corr sites like ICCF (the main one)

Schemingmind.com and itsyourturn.com

bump.... curious if there is more interest for this now.

I would add it doesn't need to be a large team.

thanks!

Is there a way to download all the games played on this server so far?

My opponent's time has run out but the game has not been called... is it automatic or do I need to send a support email?

I am interested but wouldn't be willing to participate in it until August.

you guys should get vacation time function. All other corr sites have it.

so I swore a I signed up for a rated thematic with d4 Nf6 g3 g6 ... and I can't find it anywhere. Did it get canceled?

I recently played Grahamtrue in a game where he could have resigned on move 19 (I would have if it was me). He played on until move 50 in a hopeless position. It was his right to do so. He moved quickly too. I don't know why he wanted to but nor do I care. I don't see any problem with this behaviour...
