It is still possible to start them manually if you really want to dive into the next waiting game right away. -Russ [edit] Games will also timeout automatically 2 weeks after a timeout becomes available.

It would probably say something like: "Longest streak of the 7 day Siege board: 0 days", but still it can be nice for those who actually hold it for days and days, and to give people a goal, trying to reach futher in every try. The sieges just seem to be to unnotewothy now.

Out of curiousity, why isn't it only two days, like tournament timeouts?

Instead of longest time period, why not longest stretch of wins...it will note your record amount of opponents failed to siege your board instead of how many days record, which can be manipulated. Wouldn't be a bad idea

What is a siege?

A siege is pretty much king of the board. There is a list of people in a siege board waiting to play whom ever is defending the board (always black). If the challenger defeats or draws to the "King of the Board", they get knocked off the board and the challenger becomes the "King of the Board".
