AbigailII: Well, DOS is case insensitive, as is Windows with respect to filenames. Obviously a case insensitive system would not permit you to create two different files named Foo and foo in the first place.

alanback: "Most applications"? I don't know any application that is case-insensitive with respect to filenames. I know *filesystems* that are, but not all file systems are case insenstive. Just image if you have files "Foo" and "foo", and your case insenstive application is told to do something with file "fOO". Which one will it take? "Foo"? "foo"? or will it create "f00"?

Fencer: Any particular reason? Most applications are case-insensitive with respect to filenames. Although I guess server software is an exception, since I have to be careful about caps in the names of files I upload to my site.

I don't like capital letters in filenames.

There is a very good word game on Facebook called "PathWords", you are against the clock and have to make as many words as you can, say within 3 minutes. At the start of the game, you are give a honeycomb type board with alln the letters, and you jsut have to make as many words as possible, ( i have jsut repeated myself there). You can play against as many people as you want. It is an excellent game, and i like it , becasue i am the top player there LOL.soooooooooooo any chance we could have it here lol

MadMonkey: That is very strange. I timed in some more games since early this morning and it was definately not my turn to move when I was last on site. I just played one game which had an hour left and it is only 12 hours since I was on

chenshap: Unrated players start with a BKR of 1300 and it is adjusted every time you finish a rated game, even if that isn t' shown until after you finish 4 games.

Subject: Re: 24 hours

MadMonkey: Well however long it was it went very fast lmbo! Never mind it cant be helped. That is the reason why I do not like those one day games. I entered a Madhouse week tournie and did not realised it was a one day one. I will have to look before I leap in future.

Subject: "unrated" playes in single-elimination

In single-elimination tourneys, players are paired by BKR. How does it work for unrated players? We get assigned a random opponent?

Mousetrap: Its not Mouse, this time last night i was at work (as i am now) and for 6 hours at least i could not get on. Thats at least another 4 hours from now it was still down, but i went home then and did not bother to try when i got home so do not know when it came back, when Fencer got here i guess

Subject: Re: Downtime

coan.net & Mousetrap: the site was down for about an hour and a half or something, and then time-outs were suspended for 24 hours, so there was plenty of time given

Vikings

Subject: Re: Downtime

Mousetrap: for me it went down 26 hours ago for at least 5 hours, however the message that shows up when there is a time out said that it was only down for one hour. Fencer did mention that that could happen

coan.net

Subject: Re: Downtime

Mousetrap: I did not pay attention to the details, but time outs were off for awhile (not sure how long) after the site was down and came back up.

So yes, it was down - and it turned off the time-outs for awhile. (but I'm not sure of the time frame or how long it was down.)

Subject: Downtime

Did Brainking go down for a while? If so what happend to the extra time alowed so we dont time time out? I have timed out in a few games because I could not access the site untill now. I am not worried about it I just wondered what had happend.

Subject: Re: so long since this happened

AbigailII: I agree. Maybe we could ask as a feature request that the player who goes through is picked at random.

Subject: Re: so long since this happened

Snoopy: It depends on what kind of match type is used. If it's a single game (or another fixed number) then as others wrote, the one with the lower ranking goes through. But if the match type is one win, in case of a draw, there's a rematch.

It took me a while to figure this out. I don't really like the idea of a player going through based on her rating; therefore when I create an elimination tournament, I try to remember selecting "1 win" as the match type.

Isnt it a shame, that Fencer applies these good "Add on's" i.e the "Polls" and people get a kick out of abusing them by setting up polls to victimise the members of that fellowship.........

Bernice: Well again, if it's that bothersome to you, the simplest solution is to leave the fellowship.

I agree, it's all very childish. It's too bad some people have no clue what is inappropriate and what isn't. Seriously, the places these immature polls have come from, are not even the smallest surprise.
