When is the vacation use reset? As in, when does the counter return to 0 vacations used? I know there are 5 vacations a year, but does this start at the start of the year (the 1st of January)or on the anniversary of making an account?

I ask because another user asked me to put them on vacation on the anniversary of the day they signed up - believing that's when the vacations reset. I have emailed Fizzer about the issue (as reluctant as I was) but am now in a difficult position as the other user is now approaching autoboot on several games, and I, of course, do not want to take his turns, but don't want him to be booted either.

under settings you can see how many vacations you have left.
i dont know about the timing of the resetting though,
(although i d assume every vacation you use goes into "used" status for a year)

Yeah, I know that. The only solution I guess is if Fizzer grants the other user an extra vacation.

Well, I guess the only person who can help here is Fizzer - so, nevermind as I've already emailed him.
