Timeout rules are now a bit more forgiving

The way the timeout rules have been set up, there were a few problems. Say you had a game with a per-move time limit of two days. Then say you had Saturday and Sunday marked as your days off. Then say your opponent made a move at 12:30am Saturday morning. That would make your move due at 12:30am on Monday morning. Your move would time out unless you got up at 12:01 on Monday morning and played your game. Seems reasonable, right? That's what we thought, too. Well, the clue train made a stop at our place today, and we decided we needed to change that policy. We now give you until noon on the day after your Day Off to make your move. It seemed the Right Thing to do. |
