lol Fencer - what about people who register on both...? :-)

11. април 2004, 22:11:01

Относно: I would do it

It seems that there is a 3% fee to upload the funds (I assume that mean to make a payment...upload funds to make a payment? 3% is not much. One would need a credit card though (from the US))

I think anything you offer a little extra for Fencer, people will prefer to use.

11. април 2004, 21:28:08

Hmmm, what if I give some bonus for people who register there instead of on PayPal? :-)

11. април 2004, 21:20:22

Kevin

You're welcome Fencer! Just glad i can support this site... :-)

re: moneybookers.com

I had a brief look at it, and from what i saw it looked good - very small charge to pay (1% to a maximum of 0.50 EUR), and it said you don't need an account to pay someone. The only bad thing is it doesn't look like they support paypal :-( Oh well... :-)

Unrated games show up on statistics.

11. април 2004, 19:51:55

Fencer,
do unrated games show up on statistics even though they dont affect bkr?
or do they just not show up on anything?

Congrats Kevin and thanks for your great support :-)
Now, let me describe my current problem. I am not satisfied with Swreg.org where I keep my e-store to process BK membership payments. That's why I am currently looking for an alternative.
PayPal is not possible, for some strange reason our country is not in their list of eligible countries.
However, I've found MoneyBookers.com which is suited especially for international users [me] and looks very interesting. Does anybody have experiences with them?

Hey Fencer - you should put a link to www.xe.com on the Paid Membership page - so people will have an easy link to convert membership prices!

I do, Bernice! (But that really should be on the feature request board, and Goodfoods post should be on the tourney board!! *sigh* :oP Happy Easter!)

Относно: Suggestion?

not being one to run invitation tourneys, as a suggestion maybe in the BK.v2

Put an option to invite your whole fellowship or similar,(and then delete the ones you dont require) instead of having to go into everybody's profile and send individual invitations...

just a thought....does anybody else feel annoyed (not annoyed, but grrrrr :) :)) at having to go into each individual profile???

HAPPY EASTER

from this point on, all Rook memberships will receive a bonus Queen every 10 moves

As I am a paying member who only plays chess, can we please add dice to the game so that I too may have an unfair advantage! Oooops, off to the feature request board... :-)

8. април 2004, 22:14:37

Antje

and, if you are the top mover for the day, you get bonus doubles! ;o)

THE MORE MONEY YOU PAY FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP, THE BETTER YOUR DICE WILL BE !!!!!!!

Gonna have to get a 2nd job to support my BK Rating LOL

8. април 2004, 21:56:21

coan.net

Paying members are able to play more games, giving them more rolls, giving them more doubles. But on average, it all works out.

Reminds me of a person who was complaining about this same thing months ago..... and he complained while that the dice were against him, yet he had a 2000+ rating!

(But if you really thin paying members get better dice - send in your $$ to Fencer now to upgrade your membership!) <wink wink>

8. април 2004, 21:55:13

might be 35 to 1 odds but that is only for a particular double. The odds are still 1 in 6 of rolling "a" double

I'm not going to answer such ridiculous questions again. Read the backgammon rules. Is there anything about paying members?

Относно: Re: member benefits

Dice are definitely random :o) For everyone.

8. април 2004, 21:52:15

the odds of rolling any double are 35 to 1

8. април 2004, 21:34:33

1 in 6 chance of rolling a double.
That suggests they should appear very regularly, lets say, ummmmmm, approx once every 6 rolls.

I used to think these sorta things happened too until I really took a good look back and realized that it was truly random.

Remember also, random does not mean evenly distributed at all times, random also means that clusters will occasionally occur too.

Относно: Re: member benefits

OK I will repost my ON topic post then, and say that my last comment was on topic too, because I was asking something would not be used on BK anymore.

Previous post:--
I know this has been asked before, but is there any reality over this more doubles for paying members in backgammon?

Ive been watching some of my games recently and it does seem to happen.

8. април 2004, 21:22:09

Can you stop this off-topic discussion, please?

Since becomeing a paid member, I threw away my sizzors, and my hair is now down past my waist....
Coincidence?

8. април 2004, 17:11:38

I had no children when I was a non member, now that I am a member, I will be having my first no later than Saturday (inducement if it makes it that far)
Is Fencer putting some sort of hormone on this site?
Coincidence? I think not!! :-)
