Hey there,

since I just arrived back from China yesterday I would really like to have the option to go in some kind of Vacation Mode before I leave, for maybe a week or longer. Idea behind it would be that your games are excluded from the normal game abortion time or that you at least don't get a defeat in the highscore as long as you are in V-Mode.
The V-Mode ends after the period of your absence (which was denoted by you before you left) expires, or if you play a card during that period. To prevent abuse I'd say that V-Mode has a max of 6 weeks a year, can only be activated once every three month and has to be activated at least 2 days before you leave.

I would be really thankful for any sugesstions :)

Thanks for listening ;)

I don't think this is necessary or a good idea.
I remember I read it somewhere that player has 3 weeks to make a move, it's already a long period in my opinion.
Vacation mode will defeat the original purpose of abortion function.
Further more vacation mode won't change the fact that the game still take away 1 of 15 game spots your opponent has.
And in the end, 1 lose isn't a huge huge deal...

I believe aborted games didn't count for loss or win?
Well, Sundancer, you could check if your memory didn't abandon you. ;-)

Work around:
You could explain your situation in the chat of each game, say when you get back and ask them to be kind enough not to abort the game.
