1. The rules do not state that such allowances can be made.
2. The rules also are very clear that this is what the extra 15 days are for; these are intended for emergencies like this.
Now, Timi said alexclusive was already eating into his banked time. I don’t know whether the cause of this was Warzone being blocked because of the war, if so then I have no problems with it. But if it was because of stalling, then this really isn’t okay; the banked time is for emergencies, and if you don’t have enough to get through emergencies because you have been stalling when there is no emergency, that is your own fault.

However, I think if such allowances are going to be made, the rules should be updated to include examples of what kind of situation is appropriate for these exceptions (e.g. they must be unforeseeable events, within reason) and (if we want to get really technical) what kind of proof of said emergency is required to make the exception application legal.
1. The last rules covers all missing rules: "We will use our best judgement as a panel to resolve issues which are not covered by the rules listed above." Since the panels are gone now, its just Farah that makes the call if something is not covered by the written rules.
2. Banked time is (in my opinion) to be used in cases where some extra discusion time is needed for team games, and for short rl-issues (e.g. school project or something). An actual war is not a short issue, so I find it fair that someone takes over Alex account in this case.
3. Making a rule for every emergency would be more than overkill, and would prob cause lots of loopholes. Therefor the powers of the panel to make decisions on the fly, are the best option there is, since they can review things on a case to case basis, looking at all circumstances and consequences.
