At least from 24th till 26th.
Always difficult to play then.
Just increasing to 48h instead of 24h would already be quite helpful.
riskllama wrote:terrible idea - if you implement it for xmas, pretty soon you'll have to do it for ramadan & yom kippur. might as well just make regular turns 48 hrs... . if you want more free time during "the holidays", play less games - what's so difficult about that?

This allows those with family commitments over Xmas not to deadbeat or require sitters (who may or may not have commitments of their own).
Nothing to stop moves still being played with those able to access the site as normal, with the next move remaining due at the same time but on the 27th December.
A side thought would be the possibility of any game to be able to request a time extension if all players involved agreed (probably more relevant to 1v1/ poly), but would assume the yearly set dates would be far easier to code and make sense to most players.

Rather than ruthlessly competing to butcher anonymous enemies over the internet, why not try giving thoughtful gifts to friends and neighbours?
Thinking of wiping out the population of a continent? Try phoning some of your relatives and catching up on their news!
Get frustrated about rolling ones? Get frustrated about receiving socks instead!
Need constant time extensions due to your religious beliefs? Try atheism! At least over the holidays.

If you're referring to me, I have a 2 week holiday from Saturday with no internet access for the duration, I do plan ahead, many do not.
