why is our checkers tourny renamed to something about FAT BOY?

At the moment two people are grateful for the auto-vacation - panda and cariad.
Both were admitted to hospital recently - one in Greece, one in Wales. Neither knew they were going to be away for quite so long so didn't set vacation days. I don't know their passwords so I can't go into their accounts and set vacation days instead.
BUT - both will be back playing next week.

Problem is Klokan is not suffering from an emergency, he is playing 650 games and doesn't have time to play them. Timing out would be the sensible solution to this situation. And in future don't play so many games.

In fact emergencies won't happen very often and most of the time this will be used to extend the number of games you can play without timing out.

Come on Fencer - let's have your opinion.....

Ive suggested it to him enough times, someone else can have the pleasure LOL

I say none, but a cap does sound fairer. 2 days max I reckon. Who's goin to propose to Fencer then? ...........Stevie? ;0)

compromise with 3.. :-)

me too...cap it at 2days i say

that can be quite true! funny thing is some women do just the opposite!! LOL;-)

Most emergencies will probable take more then 1 day. I also think that having it unlimited is a little too much (up to 30 days + weekends and such for rooks). With a limit of 4 or 5, it will give about a week extra time - which I think would not be too much to ask for people in an emergency.

how about one day? That should solve for what it was intended to solve, namely some emergency.

what would you think if there was a limit of 4 or 5 days for autovacation to take at one time?

me too

Only me

does anyone else think this auto-vacation is garbage?

Peter Kay makes me homesick! I sometimes wonder how funny people think he is who don't live in Bolton though!

Oh, and HOME needs players for Berolina chess tourney! (see, I'm on topic!)

Peter Kay fan.... ;0)

ROFL! t'internet?! Your accent is showing there, Bry!! :oD

BBW - but a trial 2 month Knight membership will not "open" eyes to the real benefits to being a "Rook". What I am trying to say is that if someone gets chance to pay a little to try a 1 month, 2 month or 3 month Rook (without creating fellowships) - meaning they are able to play all tourneys and seeing all Discussion Boards, they are more likely to extend it for the 6 months Rook Filip wants, once they are "hooked". Those of us who have been here a while (and are Rooks and have extended membership or even taken Gold Rook) would agree that it is good value and the site/personal service is excellent.

But unless you are a Rook, and experienced the benefits.... you wouldnt know.....

A lot of people dont want to pay memberships on t'internet.... for 6 months minimum membership, whatever to small price (to some), but a taster of it may tempt them....

Bry

Yes.. I should have guessed.. men generally try to make women think something is larger or bigger than it really is.. for example with a road map.. they try to convince everyone that an inch is equal to a mile.. lol

A second round will start even if you do not have enough slots available.

So with a second round starting, it is possible to be over your game limit. (of course you would then not be able to start any new games until you are under the limit.)

How many free slots I have to have for a second round in a tournament when there is 1 winner in section 1 and 2 winners in section 2.

Why would we need a special rook membership without the ability to create fellowships - we have that, it's called a Knight membership basicly!

Maybe a "trial" 2 month Knight for 5 EUR or something?

- I totally agree - hence I got a Rook pretty much straight away after first logon. What I am trying to suggest is targetting those people who are sceptic about paying for membership to games sites, or those who dont want to pay for such a time period of 6 months. You could even make it a month for a few Euro's.

My betting is once they get a load of games going, get into see Fellowships and the chat board, they will have faith in the site and renew for the 6 months at full price. I also said it should be a one off offer for pawns only.

I think bwild meant 4oz = a quarter pound (lb), Scarlet.

I thought 16 oz was a pound... Hmmm..

4 ounces=a pound
7grams ;-)

what the #$% is an ounce? ;)

quarter ounce in this area ;-)_~~~

I have no idea how much a pack of cigarettes costs. How about expressing it in terms of pints of beer or grams of pot instead.

guess I missed that part of your suggestion.

Is looking for two more players to join its anti~froglet team for the forthcoming team Tournament, would anyone like to join in?

bwild - my suggestion earlier was the 3 month Rook wouldnt be able to form a Fellowship - for your exact reason, but would just have the access to more games and more tournaments - tempting them to get into playing loads of games and multiple tournaments - hopefully encouraging them to renew at the end of 3 monts for a full 6 months package - then getting full Rook benefits.....

Congrats to Matarilevich for winning the Joust!!
Well done! Thanks for everyone else for playing in the Tournament!
Joust at the Realm #3

as a rook,they can form fellowships...if they lapse after 3 monthes,there would be an open fellowship.I would think that with the existing numer of fellowships(some members have more than 2) the fellowship increase and subsequent abuse,would defeat the purpose.

Hrqls - yes - but ideally it would be better if people were Rooks in my eyes. That would quell all the discussions re Knights in Fellowships and numbers of games allowed etc (see posts at the bottom of this page and just before...)

bwild - why?

Open to anyone who wants to play!

what would the price have to be ?
you can already have a half year knight membership for only 10 euro .. isnt that cheap enough ?

I think this would be disasterous to the fellowships.

ROFL, I swore I wouldnt start any more tourneys for a while, but I cannot pass up that name! LOL@sLaMz
