Hi Bernice :o)

I had a look at the tourney games and they've all made a move today. It seems they are just moving more slowly than the other players. It happens :o) As long as they move in the time allowed they won't time out, and the tournament will stay as 'running'. It shouldn't be long before they're done, but there doesn't seem to be any problem with the tourney that I can see.

I have checked the 2 tournaments and this is the result......

in the 5 in Line Zetes and Antje have an outstanding game....if they could finish that the 5 in line would be over.

as for the battleboats....Molly v Whikki, and Whikki v goodfoods is still outstanding...again if those could be finished ....I play with Molly every day so I cannot understand it being outstanding...all these games hould have well and truly timed out by now....perhaps Fencer could look into it.

The tourneys are called...Five up, five down, five across.......and Bernice's best battleboats bruhaha.....
thanks so much :)

Fencer - Don't mean to "bug" you about it, but about how close is the new version of BrainKing?

The only thing I worry about not letting pawn post is if they do have a problem, they will have no place to go and ask (other then private message - which they may not know to use).

A few of the pawns have have games with have been asking about when they can post again. Any time frame on that?

Are there still ongoing games in these tournaments, Bernice? If there are than it will show as being a running tournament until a winner is declared.

19. January 2004, 07:03:44
Bernice 
according to my ":tournaments running" list i have a five in line and a battleboats STILL running.....these were pre crash tournaments how do i close them down...it has been so long....or what do i have to do to get rid of them :) thanks

Yes, that happened to me as well for a while - a page would partly load, it would show me the beginning of the html tag and fail to load the rest of the page. Eventually i started getting "The page cannot be displayed" messages, at which point i gave up. It seems to be doing better now, however!

When Fencer bumps a defeated pawn from one tourney so they can join another, it doesn't affect their performance record in the one in which they were bumped, does it?

17. January 2004, 20:12:34

yes its number 3 bbw its on the agenda to be fixed

Another great read......thanks Harley & Bumble :o)

I could think of a couple of examples of how pawns can get into multiply tournaments.

1) They were a knight/rook whos membership has expired, but are still playing in other games.

2) During the "new year bug" when games were timed out, a pawn may have had their games gone, signed up for another tournament, and then got their old games back.

3) A known game bug which I have reported to Fencer at one time of how a pawn could enter multiply tournaments, which when I last checked was not "fixed" yet.

I am collating the questions today.... This is your last chance...
I have some 40 odd questions already ... some are variations on a theme and will be amalgamated.
Without specific instructions to the contrary questioners will retain anonymity....

MadMonkey 
So is what you mean is that the same pawn is through to the next round in tourny 'A' for example, and has been allowed to sign new tourny 'B' ?
It never used to be possible, as you say it may be a new bug (unless Fencer has changed pawn tourny rules).

17. January 2004, 13:35:44
Fencer 
Which tournament is it?

17. January 2004, 12:48:50
Jason 
no madmokey , i have seen differnt , one player is still waiting for another round to start and have just started another tourney . , im mainly letting fencer know that his programme might have a bug (ie)letting pwns sign up for more than one tournament

17. January 2004, 12:31:33
MadMonkey 
It can only be done Jason if they ask Fencer to remove them from a tournament that they have already been knocked out of (e.g. There is no chance they will go any further), even if that tournament is still running.
Then they can sign for another tournament.

17. January 2004, 12:02:10
Jason 
how is it that pawns can play in more than one tournament ? when they are still in other tournaments to goto another round ect ? . i have noticed this on a few occasions . if they can do this they dont have a need to upgrade

I got one one time that only had a . in the message and the rest was in the subject line.

If you didn't get a blank message from me, ughaibu, I don't think they went. It would have said 'message sent' anyway, I'm sure.

16. January 2004, 18:16:23

I got write another but it didn't say if the first went or not(?)

16. January 2004, 18:14:59

You're right Rose! It threw me back to 'write new message'!

16. January 2004, 18:13:28

nope no can do in here.. I just tried it

16. January 2004, 18:12:40

I've never tried, I'll send you a message with subject line only, see if you get it :o)

16. January 2004, 18:11:13
ughaibu 
It was fine. Sorry, next tiresome question: can a person send a message by subject line only or do we need something in the message box?

16. January 2004, 18:08:06

Did that make sense? I just re-read it and it sounded complicated!

If you put someone on enemies that is on your friends list, they will disappear.
And if you are on their friends list, and you put them on enemies, you disappear off their friends list.

But, if someone places you on their enemies list, its possible for you to place them on your enemies list, so they cannot contact you.

16. January 2004, 17:49:04
ughaibu 
Thanks. How about if they are already on the friends list? Is it impossible for them to put one on their enemy list? or can they thus remove themselves from the friends list?

16. January 2004, 17:45:29
harley 
Thats right, ughaibu.

16. January 2004, 17:44:06
ughaibu 
Has the system been arranged such that if one is on a member's enemy list it is impossible to put that member on one's friends list?

AW, thanks for your comments, everyone!
Part two (of fifteen) will be published in 'Wombats Weekly' available from some good newsagents - and all bad ones.

Don't forget to get your questions for harley in to noholdsbarred as soon as possible. You owe it to her - she's had it too easy for too long. Put her on the spot - make her stew. You know she deserves it! (only joking, harleyfluff!)
Now to get my questions in. *thinks...how many 'e's in negligee?*

Subject: Re: Tourney dates
I just tested it - created a tournament for signups to end 6:00 on the 15th, and the page loaded and showed 22:00 on the 14th. So (considering i'm GMT -6, and i would assume Czech time is GMT +2), i assume the time entered is Czech time, and it is converted to local time of the user when the page loads.

Who was the Welsh vocalist, if you don't mind my asking? And who is your 'favorite guitarist of all time'? (You obviously avoid name-dropping, too. ;)

I'm sorry to say, you're not the world's biggest hoarder, I am. On the bright side, though, you seem like you might come in a close second. :) (Bet my key collection is bigger than yours ;) Do you happen to have an extra 1926 D28 Herringbone you could spare?

On the whole a very interesting interview with a very interesting (and secretive) person. :) Good job!
