Just wanted to point out this pond game: http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=12

dexter made his first bid of 333, got the 500 bonus points and how has OVER 20,000 points (20167 to be exact) Way to go dexter!

I never thought so many people who be bidding SO LOW in the smaller games.

Actually I can't wait to see who will mess up this pond game: http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=28&trnst=0

You know there will be at least 1 troublemaker who will bid less then the min big of 19,000, which will mess up the game quick, unless Fencer would be able to remove anyone who did not play by the rules.

7. januar 2005, 16:30:12
furbster 
yes, well lets hope it is played properly.

Fencer: Can you please make a possibility to go through the pond games backward (to see the previos moves; the hole history of the games) ?

Emne: Re: history
Mely: Yes. It is planned.

Emne: Re
BBW: well, since that has been assumed, if anyone plays less than 19000 they are risking getting wet, since they must assume that most everyone else will be playing over 19000.
So one troublemaker won't make a difference ;)

Bry 
Pauloaguia - good point.
BBW - yes = if anyone messes this up i'll be after them!!!

Fencer - 2 things....

1) - can we change the number of points to start with?

2) - when it says 15 next to ponds. can this be reduced to the number you have not signed up for? or even better - when you go into the ponds sign up - it tells you if you have already signed up for each pond game or not (to save me having to enter every one to see if I have already entered it.....

7. januar 2005, 18:20:38

bry , the number 15 is the number of ponds available that you havent signed up for ..(its that way in my case) but i havent signed up for any more since fencer altered things .

7. januar 2005, 18:23:12
Bry 
no mate - there's 15 pond games there. I went thru them all and I had already signed up for 12 of them, one i couldnt as it had reached 16 players max and 2 were new ones i have now signed up for.

7. januar 2005, 18:24:00
Jason 
yes i just tried it , signed up for another , but still says 15

7. januar 2005, 18:29:19
Bry 
Hopefully Fencer will sort it. I'd rather it say inside the page which ones you have signed up for as you wont need to look thru them all. Even if that number said 2, I'd still have to trawl thru them all to see whoch one or two I havent signed for....

8. januar 2005, 11:28:08

beautiful job, putting the ponds on the main page. thank you, Fencer! :)

was there a rating system set up for pond yet?

8. januar 2005, 13:24:26
Fencer 
Emne: Re: I cant remember..
Stevie: Yes but there is nothing to rate until at least one pond is finished.

8. januar 2005, 13:25:31

How would you make it , there is big difference in run where are 16 players and difference in totally first run where is about two hundred players . Victory in first run will have bigger value then 16 players run .

But how will it work?

cool we get a message when wqe fall in LOL

8. januar 2005, 15:45:01

Fencer - great work on the "signed up" and message when fall in" changes.

I guess it was part of the site down just a little earlier

The main reason was the BKR and history regeneration.

Fencer - can you take that to the BK.com board please... off topic... LOL.

Only 1 player did not bid the min in the 19000 min pond game, and that was Rose - Luckly just the one so they fell into the lake!

One with 19400 got 500 bonus, so it sitting really well now.

Don't forget to bid for the second round. :-)

I'm quite surprised how low people are going on the smaller ponds in the first rounds. I guess the first one with loads of players has had quite an influence on everyones minds :)

Emne: Re:
kitti: Thats what makes every game so unique... BBW just bet a 502 in the first round and got the bonus and is in first place! The dynamics will always be in flux. Soon someone will get burned in the first round with a quite high bet and people will start to bet a lot higher on the first round....MAYBE!

Betting low is understandable, even a small advantage near the end could be decisive. Of course it is risky as well.

I still don't understand people betting 1800 in the first pond. Clearly 11 would stay alive for instance in this case. The best you can hope for with a bet of 1800 is net 1300.

Oh well, as they say there are 3 types of people in the world, those that can count and those who can't

9. januar 2005, 01:54:27

According the types of people and strong offtopic: I like "There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't." :-)

LOL even drunk i understand that LOL

Is binary in 10s?

LOL, guess you know into what group I fall :)

You wait for the next round in 1 pond
You are waiting for the next round in 1 pond
You are waiting for the next round in 2 ponds

Least ways that looks like gooder English to me. :)

Emne: Antiponds - new idea
Dear fencer, dear pondsplayer. I have a new idea for ponds (named antiponds).
The basic rules are the same. But one reduction. The first bid is without reservation. But the next moves have this cut: you can only bid equal or less then your previos move.
Bonus is not given.
So the first bid is very important. If you bid 1.000 points or less, you fall fast in the pond, because you are must give the lowest bid.
If you bid 10.000 points, you stay longer, but soon you have not points left.
I find, this can be a very tricky game.
Dear Fencer, what do you think about one test game ?

Fencer 
Emne: Points and bonuses
There was an idea to have an option to set the starting points and the bonus value during the pond definition.
Anyway, it should be assured that no future pond game becomes unbalanced because of badly chosen parameters (e.g. starting with 50 points and bonus 5000). That's why this proposal has been created:

x = starting points (multiple of 40)
x/40 = bonus

The current parameters (20000, 500) follow this rule as well.

11. januar 2005, 10:01:17
Thad 
Emne: Re: Points and bonuses
Fencer: There should be SOME variation allowed! Maybe minimum of zero (yes, this should be allowed!!) and max of x/number of players in pond.

11. januar 2005, 10:06:07
Fencer 
Emne: Re: Points and bonuses
Thad: I don;'t follow you. What should be minimum of zero?

11. januar 2005, 10:15:29
Thad 
Emne: Re: Points and bonuses
Fencer: The bonus.

11. januar 2005, 10:32:03
Bry 
Fencer - if the starting points and bonus are not to become unbalanced, could the option for starting points be a drop down menu where you can only select - for example - 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 up to 20,000, and once you have selected this figure - the option for bonus points is dependent on your starting figure.

For example, if you chose 20,000 starting, the maximum bonus is 500. If you chose 10,000 starting, the maximum bonus you can chose would be 250 and so on.?

11. januar 2005, 14:04:05
Czuch 
Yes something like that bry....

The way Fencer has described it, nothing will be changed at all from the way it currently is. The reason we want the ability to make our own parameters, is to change the ratio, or percentage between the starting point and the bonus pooihnts. That is the whole idea.

That is why keeping the 500 point bonus at all times, and just letting us continue to create games that have a minimum first bid to change the ratio ourselves , is prefered over having a forced 40 to 1 ratio
