How about west ny MM? It's safe over here. LOL

Check this out

The newer building codes make the newer buildings down here much stronger than the older ones.

No, upstate NY is safer than his house LOL Honestly you could be right though BO. Just be careful ok?

it's ugly down here right now. 100 mph winds aren't too bad for short periods of time. This storm is moving so slow that's we are looking at this kinda weather for 12-16 hours.

o brother

I'm saying we are safer here than almost anywhere else. One of the "shelters" lost it's roof this morning.

Your lives are more important then your new home, Backoff

we are only 9 blocks from the beach here. we were supposed to be out of here by 2pm thursday. We never planned on leaving though. Our place is less than a year old. We have shutter-proof glass, hurricane shutters, and 10" thick concrete walls. I think we are just fine.

I here you got 4 hours to evacuate?

We had a gust here a few mins ago they clocked at 113 mph. The bad part is the "eye" is 30 miles north of here lol.

:o)

Woooohoooo Ellie, glad all is better!

thank you all for your kind words.
we got to my sons last night, and i'm glad we left, it took us almost 3 days, and most of the cars on 1-95 from florida to n.y had florida plates. there's no gas or ice to be had, the stores are boarded up and there is no power in st. cloud, and it hasn't hit osceola county yet. the winds are 50 mph now. i hope everyone that stayed will be safe.

You could cut down the win number from that if you cancel out the frogs earlier that cant be jumped any more, but suppose this is wrong board for this now :o(

Thank you that is good to know,It takes a long time to play the game and if you do not have to think after 128 points it will be great to just move anywhere without thinking

That said, max score is 255. with all frogs gone, but obviously there has to be 1 left.
So if someone gets 128 they have won the game

Thanks Stevie I was not thinking, There was still frogs left

were all the frogs jumped? or were there some left

In one of my tournament games I had a draw because at the end of the game we both had 110 for points....Does that meen in other games the first person to reach 111 points will win and don't have to think when they play the rest of the game of Froglet?

That's correct. All games of one tournament have the same start position.

ooops, must be a male thing, so they are LMAO must have put in wrong number before LOL

I just thought it was pretty amazing if it's random placement that they could be identical, that's all.. therefore was more concerned that maybe there was a problem with the random thingummijig ?? :)

I've had games which look very similar - but i know that it does not really matter so i never really compared square by square..... but really close if not the same

OK, I've looked again, had both games side by side in 2 different windows. They ARE exactly the same !!! Making me doubt myself indeed.. :-D Maybe you weren't looking at the right games ? ;)

yep LMAO

*runs to hide behind Fencer and Liquids firewalls*

really ?? I looked and looked !! must be a female thing ;-D

completely diferent Niki :o) note 2 blues on left column of 1 not the other, etc etc :o)

Am I correct in thinking that the pieces are placed randomly in froglet ? It's just that I've noticed 2 of my games in the same tournament have what appears to be the same layout.. games 447881 and 447884

Oh drats!! hehe.. that explains it..

You are meant to jump the frogs, not the opponents LMAO

Is anyone else noticing lack of scores in their froglet games?

Because Myself and a couple of others are a thorn in the side of management LOL

We say what we feel and tell what we think, rather than say what others want us to say or say things to [bad language edited].....Brown nose

*edited to put my post right after editing by Harley to remove not swearing bad language...go figure*

Thanks. That's a wonderful resource, I'm thinking of timing out if the bug isn't corrcted in time but if such a possibility is available I wouldn't like to seem churlish.

Steve: Why do you think we'd pick you for the a-h of the week?

The tournament starting process has been acting very strange the past day or so.

Take for example my "Fast Start Froglet" tournament. Currenlty as I write this, #1-6 has started, #7 & #8 are in the waiting stage, and #9 has started (passing up #7 & #8)

& a couple of others are "stuck" in the waiting games section - will add this to Bug Tracker.

I disagree. I think the paid users here can expect to know what is done when someone not only opens an additional account but accepts a membership for that account. Like it or not, Long John played in a pawn tourney with his QWERTY account and won a membership. I think this IS a matter for all of us to know what is being done. It violates more than the user agreement. Or is there no teeth there?

Handling multiple accounts and possible multiple accounts is my problem and I am not going to discuss about it.

1) I agree with harley that you should let Fencer handle it. He knows about the problem, and will deal with it (if needed to be dealt with) in his own time frame. [If he takes too long, people complain. If he steps up and removed people & Fellowships quickly, people also complain. no win situation for Fencer!] He has always dealt with issues like this in the past, but sometimes it takes awile.

I actually have 2 test accounts that I have used: 001 & 002. 001 is the only that I mostly use, but had to have 002 one time when I was testing a bug which let pawns play in Fellowship tournaments. (fixed now). I don't even use these accounts for practice, just for trying to find bugs to keep Fencer busy! :-)

One thing am not assuming is that I personally know 3 people who have admitted to having multiple accounts without special permission, and this has been the case for a long time now. IMO it is not the impression that this site wants to make when the user agreement prohibits it.

I think one problem for Fencer is that he simply does not delete any accounts at all. There are hundreds of abandoned accounts here, and Fencer cannot delete them without making his membership ranks shrink, so deleting these multiple accounts is not in his best interest, and neither is kicking out a paying member. so even thought the user agreement prohibits it, my guess is that unless the user is proven to be using the accounts to boost their ratings, it is in Fencers best interest to ignore the breach of the agreement.

BBW..what is the moniker for that account, and are all the games you play with it against yourself (BBW) and unrated? Or do you play with two seperate "test" accounts against each other?

Is it acceptable for us all to have sperate accounts to play test games with? I think it is a great idea to be able to practice different game strategies, where you dont have to play a game to completion etc.... I think everyone should be able to play 'practice' games in this manner, just to make it fair for all members....

You're assuming a lot, IM! We should 'assume' that Fencer has things in hand and knows what he's doing.

So we should assume that even though there are many people who admitedly have multiple accounts without special permission, that it is still unacceptable to have them ourselves?

I would assume that either Fencer has dealt with the matter to his satisfaction and there are reasons the account has been left - or that Fencer is still dealing with it.

Yes, I was playing with a test account which Fencer knows about - which I don't play real games or real tournaments - and I even put in the description it is a test account. :-)

How did you test it BBW? Are you playing against yourself with two accounts? LOL

So, Harley, if we are not entitled to know what is being done, then all we can do is assume, and since people with more than one account are still here, and all their accounts are still here, we must assume that nothing has been done about them. If nothing is being done, then what is keeping others from doing more of the same?

In reply to: ughaibu (Backgammon bug - swap dice)

As a note, if you swap dice on your very first turn, it then thinks it's the opponents turn (Bug)

But if you do pass it, even if the opponent swaps, it will stay their turn. (I was playing and already tested that the other day.) The original bug still needs fixed, but it should not go into any loop or anything.

IM, why do you keep calling me 'management'? I have no say in these matters. Fencer and Liquid alone are 'management'.

Stevie, yes, I guess it DOES depend who they are since you openly admit to having 2 other accounts and nobody rips you apart for them.

IM, if you report a bug then I agree you would be entitled to hear the outcome of that report. However if you report a misdemeaner then your part is done and you should let Fencer get on with his part. Plastering it all over every board doesn't help. Have a little faith.

Also, it truely IS a grey area when there are people who actually ADMIT to having multiple accounts, yet you (management) says it is UNACCEPTABLE! How can it be unacceptable and accepted at the same time?

depends who and what they are "alledged" to have done
