Membership and vacation

It is probably well known that members have 30 vacation days, while non-members have 20. However, I just discovered another "vacation-advantage" of membership (not sure whether it was intended or not). My membership recently ran out, and so I renewed it. I then checked my remaining vacation days, and noticed I now have all 30 vacation days left (whereas before I renewed my membership, I had none). It thus seems that by renewing membership in the middle of the year, it is possible to have as many as 60 vacation days a year!

Now to calculate how this will affect the maximum theoretical "time left" for a game...

Marius, littlegolem was down for 3 days or so earlier this month. When it finally came back on-line, everyone's vacation was reset to the full amount....So my guess is that you really were not out of vacation days when you renewed your membership...

I guess that would be the explaination, yes. Perhaps I could get the extra ten days, though, if my membership ran out and I renewed it...
