Pedro Martínez: I lost my first 4 games in checkers on time outs. So I'm 1300 rated after 4 games.

Emne: Re:

Grandmaestro: Not bad at all. I won a few games here and there and I'm not that much higher lol

Well, I think it should be an option to reset all ratings and records for you account...

Other game sites have this option.

Emne: Re: ratings

Grandmaestro: I disagree (respectfully)...
A lot of my ratings have got pretty low at times, but I like to fight back. The way ratings work is that, as your skill improves, you can always climb up as high as your skill takes you. I enjoy that fight. It would be misleading if you just "reset" every time you lost a few games. Right now, my goal is to get all of my established ratings back over 1500. I think that the reset idea isn't valid.

Emne: Re: ratings

emmett:I totally agree. Besides, since the very first time you play a game your rating is determined as the rating of your opponent plus 400, it's very easy to misuse the resetting feature. Look at this graph for example. As you can see, my skill for backgammon is around 2150-2200 but my rating went up to 2528 in the beginning. Now, if I can reset my rating, I have the opportunity of getting to 2500 again in no time while it'll take me quite a long time to get to that from where I am now.

Emne: Re: ratings

King Reza: resetting a rating also makes it much easier to boost someone elses rating.

play a few games, gain a high rating (if you fail, reset and try again), lose to a friend, boosting his rating, repeat this :)

Emne: Next Interviewee

Since Czuch's reply has taken a long time, I thought maybe it'd be better if we'd choose the next person to be interviewed. I already have got a few, 5 I think, interview requests. If you people out there would like to be interviewed, or have a person in mind whom you'd want to see interviewed, do not hesitate to send me a personal message here. I'll announce the ID of the next 'lucky winner' on December 20^th.

King Reza: LOL, I had it all done, and went to save it and my computer froze up and all was lost! I havent been in the right frame of mind to try it again yet, but soon, sorry!

Czuch Czuckers:That's totally alright. It has happened to me too. This world of technology sometimes gets on my nerves.

Emne: Re:

Rose: I believe it is still is "testing" mode, so I think a few tournament/stairs/game invites were set up then removed.

This is just a guess since I can't invite, add tournament games, etc... (Just join the few who did made some before)

Emne: Re:

BIG BAD WOLF: The only way to play this game is on the (fellowship)stairs. All other ways are protected by some cool algorytm. The game is still in test-phase.

Emne: Autosave feature on the Notepad page. It can be useful if you write a long note to your notepad and the network connection suddenly dies out.

... or if you spends hours thoughtfully answering questions, only to have your computer freeze up only moments before using the update option!

Thanks Fencer!

I think there are plenty that have interesting stories to tell. Plenty who would be willing to be interviewed... and of course plenty, like a few already who have voiced their opinions, that don't want to be interviewed. Either way, it's all good.
