Conrad…did you read the prior comment from me that had the rule from OGS? Re-read it and it might become clear, if not I’ll explain it to you. The first timeout in that session of games COUNTS. Normally, people will time out of one game. However, if they time out on a block of games at once. I.e. each game need not end at the same time, just a succession of games, for example, say they’re playing ten games at once and eventually time out of them all…the first one counts and the others DO NOT COUNT. So, nine game opponents, in this example, would not have a win counted in their rating, even if they were clearly ahead and have invested a few weeks into the game at 300 moves.
Don’t truly see why there are repeated comments in disbelief (especially since I posted the OGS rule; chatted chat thread to Anorek about it and he explained the policy exactly as it’s written, but mentioned that it is still being discussed on his level; and others have posted similar experiences) rather than simply commenting the virtues, drawbacks, and alternatives to the subject at hand. Thanks.
