Gabriel Almeida:sigh, I am a slow player but I don't purposely slow down tournaments.  I play within time limits, and if you look at my profile, I have used less than 2 vacation days this year.  You won't find me using vacation days to extend a tournament.

I play games in order of remaining time, so if a tournament has a long time limit, it will take longer to play.  But I have a life outside of BK, and a part-time job now as well as a family.

I am actually getting to the point where it is not worth playing here anymore, more negative than positive. And this sort of post is almost the last straw.......

Hrqls: I'm in too! :) I resigned all my games, after getting bored with the tournament... eheheheheh. 0 points, last place in my section! :)


Well, Rabbitoid... rod and beaupol will problably be in second round, so... you'll have more 8 years (minimum) to wait. If you get a third round, with one of them, more 8 years, so you will finish the tournament in 2031.


How old are you, Rabbitoid? LOL


By the way, I say this with no problem, as I really like rod and Beaupol, they are good friends, and I respect them. But they are slow players (and they know it), so... :)

rabbitoid: lol i am in that tournament as well .. although i cant make it to the next round anymore as i end as 2md in my section

the matches which havent finished yet are all between active players ... so hopefully it will proceed to the next round next year ? .. hmm maybe in this case (cloning gammon) inactive players would lose sooner due to timeout as thats much faster than finishing the game itself :)

Hrqls: Clo(w)ning backgammon is a special case. When it was first introduced, the rule for win was different. I don't quite recall how it went, but it took into account the number of stones. Under that rule starting 15, 21-point games made sense, and I entered 2 of those. Shortly after, the rules were changed to the present form, unfortunately also for tournaments that were already started. Some of those tournaments will outlive me. So indeed, I see no problem with the system...

I posted the following on the discussion board of Play Cloning Gammon for a prize. in January 2010:
Happy 3rd birthday!!
Please engrave on my tomb:
STILL playing Cloning Gammon for a prize.

It's soon the 8th birthday. We are still in round 1. No problem at all.

Gabriel Almeida: i agree, he would probably not have predicted this :) and neither would some (or any) of the participants have thought of that

we all didnt have any experience with cloning gammon yet, and didnt know it can be a very long game

some players might even got bored of it and stopped playing, others might have left the site as there can happen in a lot in real life in 8 years

when i joined the tournament i just was together with my gf, we just rented a house, had no kids, and had plenty of spare time .... 8 years later our jobs got busier, we own a house, and have 2 kids, and little spare time ...... and i think i am not that extreme, i can imagine other to have a much larger change in life

some might not have joined, others might still have joined as they liked the game and will just await the outcome as it wont hinder them in any aspect




ooohhh the memories .... great evenings of playing board games and computer games seemingly without limit :)

Gabriel Almeida: The fact is that you have no idea when a tournament will finish. If players play at time limit, due to other games and RL obligations, even an 1 day/move tournament can take years to finish, depending on the game.

Certain backgammon variations and some games can have hundreds of moves. Multiply by time limit and number of different games. It is unavoidable.

Hrqls:hi, my friend, i accept your point of view, of course. Some of the slowest players in bk are people i really like. My point is: fencer, when he created the tournament, was thinking in a 8 years tournament? And players that joined in, were they thinking in that? Would they all joined if they knew that?

first : it's a tournament of cloning backgammon which can take a long time to finish (2 games of le club that still have to be finished are from me, while i and my opponent do play actively)

second : why would it be a problem that a teamtournament takes this long to finish ?

speachless: Hi, I always enjoy your snidy remarks. Unsure, ensure, insure; it's all so confusing but here's a fun one for you: Please trawl through my games and find matches where DC plays MF. Will you find one? Will you find 100? Will you find 1000? You appear to like backgammon and so do I, why not play a 5 or 7 points match with me, see if I need any help to ensure my rating. I started a second account on BK because I felt there was something wrong with the dice here and I wanted to check out a theory. I know of plenty of people with 2 accounts on BK, mostly active players. I'm not going to name names but imagine for a moment that all our accounts are cancelled or frozen? A game site can't function properly with only 20 active players online at any one time. For the record, I wanted to delete DC but Brainking doesn't give that option, just as it doesn't give the option to edit a post.

badgerboy78: so he needs a 2. account to unsure his rating, how poor from him. DiceCheater/Moistfinger was by the way involved in the last couple of discussions about slow player and he often complained as mucht, that the moderator deleted some of his flaming posts. Well, now it's official I don't need anymore to take DiceCheater serious in any discussions, to have a 2nd active account is ridiculous and poor.

If you scroll down a while, you can read several dozen such discussions, each with several dozens of arguments made, so maybe we can not have it all again?
There is no solution, not here and not on any other gaming website.
Either do not join tournaments where the time settings are not according to your liking, or endure their duration; no other choices.

Onderwerp: Re: Slow players - slow tournaments
Gabriel Almeida: Good lord, what a joke! But not really a surprise and entirely symptomatic of what is happening to this website; it's the main reason why I never play tournaments anymore. There are players here - quite a lot of them unfortunately - whose idea of fun is to stretch out games as far as possible by using all the tricks in the book to abuse the Time per Move setting. The reasoning behind this is anyone's guess but my own view would make some wince so I'll keep it to myself. You ask is it normal? Of course it's not normal, it's deranged. I have seen posts on these boards vehemently defending the time out settings and the slow players so I suggest we should have two Brainkings, one for the jokers and another for the players interested in a reasonably quick and interesting game, call it slow-brain and fast-brain, whatever... but make it happen.

BGBedlam: Maybe, my friend!
Both situations must make us think about them:
1) Why a tournament is played for 8 years? Is it positive? It was that the idea since the begginning?
2) Why, 8 years after, some of the most active players of 2007 are not playing in 2014 in Brainking?

Look at this tournament, still running. Started 21/01/2007.
8 years to play a tournament, is it normal?
Now we have a final match between 3 "ghost-felowships", maybe 50% of the games won for time-out. We have games where BOTH players don't play in BK since a long time.
WOW!!!

Its really not so easy to determine a price. many areas are evaluated, not just membership but revenue from advertisements and daily hits. None of the sites mention have any calculation for a site not running at 100% and in need of repairs, just like buying a used car or house. The owner sets the tone for a sale.
