Reply to this topic Return to forumI have been a long time players here.I was trying to see how to change my profile gif,if I can.being a non paying member.can I do this.how do you do it anyway?as I was thinking of joining.
also,I accidently discovered I have 3 of 20 holidays left….wtf..I did not know I had or had setup holiday..is there no warning?can this be changed
I've not figured out how to change the profile picture either, but as far as holiday goes, a day is consumed (and 24 hours are added to each of your games) every time you run out of time in a game.
(And Membership buys you an addition 10 days/year).
Profile pictures are searched from Gravatar.
Holidays work like this: whenever a time limit in one of your games runs out, a holiday is used and you get 24h more time for each of your games.
And yes, the system is confusing and not directly explained to new players. But I suppose it makes sense and is in good design for a format like this.
The Gravatar procedure is explained here.
You usualy have to play your games at least every three days so they don't time out. Be sure not to register on more games you can play simultaneously, some games may come to head-aches situation where it is more than a few seconds to decide on best move. The more time you have invested, the less you want to do a silly mistake.
Don't play for ranking, it means nothing, fun is your reward.
I wouldnt bother joining. I did a couple of years ago and received none of the promised benefits.
