Special privileges?

Hi, see http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=1640033

Castro_bot has 271 hours thinking time. I thought 240 was the maximum?

Castro_bot is listed as on vacation. It must be running out of time in one of its games. When that happens, a day of vacation is deducted, and 24 hours are added to all of its games where it is to move. This can push the time over 240 in some games. However, as soon as it makes a move, the upper limit of 240 hours will be imposed, so its time will decrease to 240 if it was over 240 at that point.

Oh, ok, that must be the situation. Thanx David!

Castro hasn't been able to play since the new layout, since the script that played scraped html, and the scripts hasn't been updated to use the new html. So yes, it's using up vacation days and may well forfeit all 24 games soon.
