for the second time, a player has put up the holiday symbol, then made his moves as per usual. whats the point of putting it up if you dont intend missing a move? or why go on holiday, then worry about playing your moves (an equally strange thing)?

If my opponents want to send me documentary proof of their holiday (oh, I don't know, a plastic bucket and spade, some ouzo, their brochure, some photos of their girlfriends sunbathing, a few hundred pesetas), I'll be happy to respect their natty sign. Otherwise I'll just raise my own in mockery and then time them out. (After all, you can't really complain about being timed out by someone else who's on holiday, can you?)

Originally posted by drdonyes you suspend it yourself, of course it can be annoying and hold up tournaments etc but compared to being timed out while on holiday it is a much lesser evil. The problem is that tournaments can last easily over a year so you cannot plan for holidays.
can a game be suspended for vacations at any time without consultation on gameknot?

In my case driving a truck all over the country leaves little time to make any moves. Sometimes I am layed over for the night waiting to get a load and then I can make a few moves. It would be kind of silly to remove the vacation sign for an hour just to put it back on.
