nice idea! Maybe Fencer can create a new level : Brain Translator with the picture of a guinea pig!

Emne: Re: This will probably get me roasted but....re points

Matarilevich: It's simple to me. Translators should get life membership.

playBunny: no carnivore +10.000 points

What about points for doing and correcting translations? Someone proposed it.
If someone translate then doesn´t move and doesn´t collect points.

yoyudax: Have a good day too, yoyudax, but I have to say your two cents aren't worth two grains of sand 'cos you show no understanding of the issue. ;-)

ps. Bunnies don't eat meat. Is yoyudax a vegetable? ;o)

Emne: Question about point details

If I win a normal game and THEN a tournament game against the same opponent, will I get 5 points for the tournament match, or 2 points because the normal game was earlier?

Ot maybe they are just trying to fill up the boards????

What have you guys been up to ...I go away for a few hours and 73 new posts...lol.. Personally I think you are all taking this way too seriously. Fencer had his reasons for doing this and he offered prizes as an insentive. If someone bothers to refer a friend but needs a prize to get them to do it...so be it. If someone wants to take the time to read boards they would never otherwise read or open up board windows every hour ...that is their business. I think Fencer is probably spending more time dealing with the people who would like this action fine tuned than he is with the action itself. Now thats my 2 cents worth...lol. Have a great day everybody!!

3. Juli 2006, 21:39:38

Emne: Re: I see in the near future....

LionsLair: not necessarily, games like Ludo or Backgammon Race will also become popular even though they are longer because people are looking for move points. The games that will be most popular are the "luck games" or ones where you don't have to think for long periods of time.

3. Juli 2006, 21:38:33

KotDB: Lol. Cool, O Dust-bunny King. But I have to disagree... Mixing two boards in one url gets my Exotic Trick of the Month vote! ;o))

Hyper backgammon and other quick games over in less than 20 or so moves becoming very popular in the next few weeks!
:o) happy gaming!

Emne: Re:

gambler104: I guess there's no harm in revealing it now. It's nothing so exotic as some of the guesses I've seen. Just pick one post each hour and read it on every board.

3. Juli 2006, 21:33:02

Emne: Re:

sidpatel: good luck to everyone. I agree. I hope to be in the top five although the top ten will still be nice. Top ten is my goal and then everything else is just icing on the cake.

3. Juli 2006, 21:30:43

Emne: Re:

playBunny: thankyou. good luck to you too. i only hope to be in top 5 people. 1 year membership is great enough :)

I'm glad to see that the points for reading have been replaced by points for winning. Now I can stop "reading"! And I agree that it's much better to reward people for playing than for lurking.

Of course I can't make enough moves to stand a chance under this new system, but that's all right. Good luck to all honest competitors.

3. Juli 2006, 21:21:30

Emne: Re:

sidpatel: absolutely... especially considering the one win limit against an opponent.

3. Juli 2006, 21:16:32

Emne: Re:

Matarilevich: -5000 for users who dare to mention the autopass feature here.

3. Juli 2006, 21:16:04

the good thing is that a win only gets you 2 points so that shouldnt make much difference anyway and make it worthless to exploit that since its easier to just make 2 moves . this is great. i am energized now

3. Juli 2006, 21:15:17

Emne: Re: Multi-point/game matches

gambler104: Right.

3. Juli 2006, 21:15:03

Kili

I propose negative points!
For example:
-100 for users who don´t move in position with only one legal move
-500 for users who don´t move in a loss position
-1000 for users who don´t move in a loss position and with only one legal move

3. Juli 2006, 21:14:15

Emne: Multi-point/game matches

still the same number of points as a simple game right?

3. Juli 2006, 21:10:44

Emne: Re:

Fencer: excellent as usual.

3. Juli 2006, 21:10:32

Emne: Re: retroactive

sidpatel: Gambler means that we get credited for the wins since the competition started. It's so soon into it that they might not make much difference; I guess it depends how many points Fencer's going to award for a win. :-)

3. Juli 2006, 21:10:06

Emne: Re:

Matarilevich: Of course.

3. Juli 2006, 21:09:24

Emne: Re:

Fencer: I wasn't necessarily expecting it. Simply wondering. Thanks Fencer. And sidpatel, I was asking if wins would be counted from when the action started or just now.

3. Juli 2006, 21:08:59

Modify "board points" by "wins points" in the table of details!

3. Juli 2006, 21:07:57

gambler104: Haven't a clue, mate. ;-)

3. Juli 2006, 21:07:35

3. Juli 2006, 21:06:47

yuppee. what do you mean by retroactive?

3. Juli 2006, 21:06:36

The change is active.

3. Juli 2006, 21:05:58

3. Juli 2006, 21:03:17

The board points have been wiped! :-D

i believe that a nice person always gets his/her reward in the end ( not talking about this competition ) and i believe that no one is perfect in this world nor is the world itself but if you try to do the right thing , God will reward you. God bless fencer for his kindness.

3. Juli 2006, 20:58:22

The Badger

What about not being allowed to score more board points than move points? This is a game site after all, so maybe that should be emphasised. The way it is at the moment, some people are able to rack up massive scores without actually playing many turns. Just a thought.

3. Juli 2006, 20:51:42

Emne: Re:

sidpatel: I agree. Fencer is a good person and he does a lot for his members (pawns included). And his niceness ironically had stirred up this debate. Regardless of how this situation turns out, I won't be too upset since Fencer had no obligation to offer any of those prizes. I guess that when someone does so well for so long, you expect him to be perfect. Hopefully, this will all turn out ok. Thanks Fencer.

even i am stuck in a tournament where im done with moves but it will take weeks to find out if i advance to next round or not.

3. Juli 2006, 20:46:49

i feel sorry for fencer because he went out and offerred free membership prizes and i think that is very very noble of him and instead of being praised for it its become a headache but it cant be helped since there are always people in the world who take advantage of every situation first chance they get.

3. Juli 2006, 20:44:51

Emne: Re:

playBunny: I agree. I am in a tournament where I am waiting for a round to finish so I would probably not get win points. If you want to do that in the future, I think it might be ok, but it would probably need to wait a few months so all or most pawns have a fair shot. It's already a little unfair with the 2-1 point ratio. But I can accept that since I can move more often. But to double that advantage might be too much.

3. Juli 2006, 20:42:31

Zero win-points for me then as Pawns only have one tournament and I'm playing the slowest player on BK! LOL

3. Juli 2006, 20:40:00

Emne: Re:

sidpatel: I don't agree with that since there is no real advantage to only count wins in tournaments. It might be a way to reduce the loopholes, but max number of wins against an opponent a day is pretty effective. You aren't going to find too many people purposely resigning to help others. So you would limit it to a few players, and Fencer could check the top point accounts and make sure that all or most of their wins(since an opponent can resign for no apparent reason) are ligit. If Fencer did that (basically checking to make sure that one opponent did not resign multiple games against the same opponent), you might not even have to have the win restriction.
