Subject: Re: Pointless

imsoaddicted: Yes but when the 1 hour is over they then have another hour. Therefore 2 hours.

Subject: Re: Pointless

imsoaddicted: Well it apears not on this site. I have played a few 1 hour games where it became a 2 hour game before completion time. I am not referring to the other night where no games were time-out when the site was playing up once again.

Subject: Re: Pointless

Mr. Shumway: Yes I CAN mention time limits as often as I wish. It's people like you who discuss it further lol.
If I play a game that is for 1 hour, I expect it to be I hour. Not 2 hours.

Subject: Re: Pointless

crosseyed: You may say something about the time limits as often as you like - that doesn't mean that they will be discussed. There doesn't seem to be a point in discussing time limits to me - what aspect would you want to discuss?

And how can you abuse time limits? You simply can't.

15. October 2006, 13:20:47

Subject: Re: Pointless

crosseyed: well if it was a one hour time-out game that person would of timed out anyway

15. October 2006, 13:12:29

Subject: Re: Pointless

crosseyed: actually 1 hr games are 2 hr games as each person has 1 hr

15. October 2006, 13:10:25

Subject: Re: Pointless

imsoaddicted: He won't be invited again. And time limits will be discussed as many time as I choose. Especailly 1 hour games that become 2 hours.

Subject: Re: Pointless

imsoaddicted: The simple answer is either the Barinking rules are changed so we are allowed to play for more than one Team of a certain game at one time or the bug is fixed so people can not abuse it.

crosseyed: simple answer to that dont invite that fellowship to any more matches
and the question over time-limits you bring up again was well answered on the tournament board not so long ago

15. October 2006, 11:34:03

Subject: Re:

BIG BAD WOLF: I agree with you Wolf we should be able to move about a bit more. What's the point of being in so many Fellowships if you can't join in on some games.

15. October 2006, 11:34:00

goodbyebking

I have always thought that everyone should stay with one fellowship (for all games). That way a greater sense of team fidelity could be nurtured. It would inspire greater competition between fellowships and that would probably be more fun.

MadMonkey: Most Tournament/Fellowship games are pointless when people abuse the time limits.

15. October 2006, 02:34:20

Subject: Re:

MadMonkey: your not allowed to leave a fellowhip if you have outstaniding tournament games so i dont see why the rules should be different with interfellowship matches

BIG BAD WOLF: Something has to be done. This player only joined my team recently and i put them in a match against another fellowhsip that started yesterday morning. Then in the evening they leave the team, sign up for another fellowship team and then challenge us to a match as well

Something not quite right about that, if we all did that, it would make fellowship matches pointless.

Subject: Re: Ratings

pauloaguia: You have at least 8 games which did not make it past move #1 - games that don't make it to the 4th move are not counted towards the ratings (but are counted in your win/loss record) - so that is why you see a difference.

15. October 2006, 02:00:41

Subject: Re:

MadMonkey: yes ive noticed at least one member of my backgammon team who is playing in Roland Fantom has left and playing for another team

coan.net

Subject: Re:

MadMonkey: Not a bug, but I think is a good feature. Sometimes a team just needs 1 or 2 more people, and for players who like to play - being able to sign up for that team to play, then possible go back to their original team is a nice feature.

I think there was once a bug where the same player was playing in the same team challenge/match (against themselves) - I'm not sure if that was ever fixed or what came of it.

But as long as that does not happen - it's nice to be able to move teams. (But I would support maybe some kind of limit - like you can't join anouther team for 30 days since you joined another or something)

Subject: Ratings

Could someone please explain to me the meaning of my row on the Dark Chess ratings page? It states "14 (7/0/15)", under "Counted Games".
I've just checked and every single one of my Dark Chess games was ranked (Counts towards BKR). So why is it that it says I have only 14 games when I won 7 and lost 15?

14. October 2006, 22:56:34

MadMonkey

Fencer: We can only sign up for one Team of a particular game as the system will not let us play for more than one.
So how can someone playing for a team in one fellowship, leave that team while still playing for it in a match, and join another fellowships team of the same game ??? Is it a bug ???
If not the same person could carry on playing for every fellowship they are a member of.

Subject: Time outs off..

How long will the time outs be shut off?

just wondering, because I wasn't going to be online until late tonight, and my plan was to get lots of moves made thursday night so that I would stay caught up... Obviously I couldn't do that with the site down.. So I'm just curious if I have to cancel my plans tonight.. (LOL, people will laugh at me if I say I can't go because of my games!) And, I'm going to be gone for the next 14 hours because of work.. so can't do it now..

Just curious!

but if i had been playing only ludo and for the full 24 hrs i know 12000 moves in one day is possible!!!! stupid yep but not impossible

Sorry, I didnt mean to upset you.
Was just thinking, if u moved every 8seconds how in the world did u cook/make food in that 24hrs? Or even eat it?    LOL
Didnt U use the bathroom?   No sleep in 24hrs?

Just weird, thats all..

13. October 2006, 09:22:24

Subject: Re:

imsoaddicted: and my final word on the subject is
if you play only ludo for one hour solid i can average nearly 650 moves so theres an even bigger record out there if you want to go for it yourself
