I know a few other people want a crack at me, but I'd like to request a brief vacation now that this challenge is effectively complete. I have a baby due to be born any day now, and I'm likely to be away for a good day or two. At most, this should be a two week vacation from the ladder, but I'm expecting less than a week.General Roy wrote:Dukasaur wrote:chapcrap wrote:celliottii wrote:chapcrap wrote:Can I get dibs on first place again?
You can, but Doc's wife is getting ready to have a baby anytime. He sent a note to us yesterday informing us...You will be next when he returns.
Sounds like a slacker to me.
Legit question about situations like this: How long can a person 'take a break?' I think there should be some rule where they are either removed or have to forfeit after a certain amount of time. 2 weeks, a month, 3 months? I don't know the time, but there should be something I think.
I have an idea, but I don't know if it would be too complicated for celliotti to adminster. Let me know what you think.
- Every week that you spend on vacation, you drop 1 position on the list.
- If you reach the bottom you are eliminated permanently. As long as you don't reach bottom, you can come back.
That to me sounds unfair to those who are close to the bottom, I think. But some such scheme would probably be the way to go so that people don't take a break too long.
Guys, let me nip this in the bud real quick…Doc’s original post is quoted above. It was from September 9. Rule #19a states, “A player may request a hiatus from the Ladder if they go on vacation or holiday by stating so on the Ladder thread.
a. This hiatus cannot last more than fourteen (14) consecutive days. The player on “Vacation” or “Hiatus” can be passed by players who successfully win their own challenges. For example, I’m #15 and I go on vacation. While I’m gone, #16 and #17 win their challenges and pass me, I then drop down accordingly.”
Today is Day 7. Doc expected to be gone less than a week, but for those of us who have kids know they don’t always come on our time table. Plus, with this being his first child (I believe), he probably wants to spend some time with his new family.
He will have the 14 days as he requested for vacation.
Since Doc_Brown is also #1 and no one can pass him up, chap_crap will have first crack at him. T4mcr53s2 and asbks have not mentioned anything about wanting to move up, so if they want dibs on the winner, I'll allow it.

chapcrap wrote:I think the discussion was just about what happens if someone is gone for an extended period of time. Not just in this instance, but all instances. After 14 days, they are open for challenge? And if they do not respond, they forfeit? Is that the process? So, they just move down one spot at a time forever until they reach the bottom?
celliottii wrote:After 14 days, Macbone and I would discuss the "consequences/ramifications" and would post it accordingly. Every situation is different and would be considered with grace and understanding. I don't want to give examples of what the decisions would be, but Mac and I would be fair and just.
Let's be a little bit more patient and see when Doc returns...again, if you just gave birth to your first child, would you come running back to CC??? I wouldn't.
PS...I had to nuke some of the quotes from this note, as per Forum rules...

Things appear to be moving a lot slower than they were a week ago, so we might as well get started. Good luck chap!
), so he will win both and therefore the challenge against me. The games are not officially over, but I can't turn them anymore...

Game on brotha! you'll be catching up to me before long, slacker. =) 7 under 12.
I thought we were busy with having 6 (15 to 29 y.o. now). 
Ya know, dhall....you can say "no, I've got a headache" every once in awhile! macbone wrote:Congratulations on the newborn, Doc!
Everyone, please wait until your three games are finished before you post the results here. Doing so will make celliotti's job easier, and we'll probably include it in the Ladder guidelines.

Wait until all 3 even if 2 are won?
I still think it would be better to have a different topic for pure game results though
