Hi folks,

We don't normally do this, but we've decided to turn off timeouts for a few days. Hurricane Sandy is a once-in-a-century event, in a place where we have a lot of players, and so we just think it's the right thing to do.

Any tourney games that timed out in the last day have been restored. We won't be restoring non-tourney games, because it's too time-consuming and those would have been covered by the vacation feature anyway.

Our hearts go out to anyone who's been impacted by the storm. The scale of the disaster is astonishing, awful.

Be safe, and enjoy your games,

This just shows you have a good heart. Even though I have nothing to do with all the events over there, I hope all will be well for everybody and thoughts go out to those who lost relatives and friends.

A good decission T.J.
