I don't know about you, but most people have to sleep from time to time.
Such a silly idea... it's painful.

Originally posted by fmvA 6 hrs timeout doesn't mean the game is finished in six hours, it means you have 6 hours to move after your opponent has moved. Let's say I make a move at 10 pm CEST (my local time). My opponent, who happens to be in California, moves three hours later - 4 pm for him, 1 am for me. Six hours later, he times me out while I am still asleep. Sweet.
Most people are awake for 6 or 12hrs, Finnegan.

New users takes the game not knowing what it is... makes 3 moves... and the other guy times him out in his sleep and gets free rating points.
Why don't you realize this is a bad idea? I guess it doesn't mater, because Russ has no plan to ever do a feature like this. It would just be nice if you could grasp the concept of what this site is for and realize why your idea is so bad.
