Subject: Re: 10 games match question

Herlock Sholmes: "2 out of 3" would be simply a "2 win match", 4 out of 7 would be "4 win match" they are the same just not called the same as to what you are accustomed to.
As far as the 10 game match, it shouldn't be confusing, it is simply a "10 GAME match", you either win by wining more than 5 games, lose by losing more than 5 games or tie by winning 5 games, if it were the way you suggested it would have to be called a "most points in x games match"

AbigailII: thanks Abigaill ... I think this current system is a little bit confusing ... lets say 10 games match would make sense if players would earn different scores in every game ... 10 game match would make sense if we added points for each game of Dice Poker for each player ...for example, 190 points for player A and 217 for player B in the first game, 202 for player A and 224 for the second player in the second game, and so on, till the last, 10th game (each time totaling these scores) ... otherwise it doesn't make sense to me ... we should introduce the system 2 out of 3, 3 out of 5, 4 out of 7 and so on ...

Herlock Sholmes: No, a 10 games match lasts 10 games. If you want a match where the first player to reach 6 points wins, you should play a 6 points match (aka 'best of 11').

Subject: Re: check also this game

This may be more of a topic for one of the chess boards, but for any dice chess games, I will ONLY try to take 1 of any of the 2 "matching" pieces (with the exception if it is in danger of taking my king)

Since if all you have left is a pawn & king, well then you have a 50/50 chance of moving the king each time (so attack with king) - If your opponent has 6 different pieces left, then they have a lot less of a chance of moving the pieces they want.

So yea, if I have a chance to take someones last rook, but that rook is not putting my king in danger - I will not take it to help my odds more.

Subject: Re: 10 games match question

skipinnz: I think you are talking about 10 wins option(the first one) ... I am asking about the third option, the number of games played, not number of wins ...

Subject: Re: 10 games match question

Herlock Sholmes:I believe the match is set for ten games so the winner is the first to win ten games, not the best of ten.

Subject: 10 games match question

is it enough to win 6 games in this match or we have to play the whole number (10) games anyway ?

Subject: Beauty of Dice Chess 10x10

I play this game with passion ... the more I play it, the more I am excited ... it's the only game I know in which by losing pieces you actually increase your power ... to the point that a single king alone can be the most dangerous weapon for all your heavy pieces and your kings still on the board ... why is it so ? well, statistics is the answer ... when you have only one king you can be sure yuor next move can only be done by your king ... it creates very uneasy situation for your opponent ... even having a queen, two rooks, knight and pawns your victory is not certain ... this single king will try to come close to your pieces and if luck won't be on your site, you will loose these pieces ... it's the only game I know you can enter the mouth of a lion and still get out of it as a winner ... it's the only game your pawns can bypass heavy pieces with grace and get promoted ... it's the game of luck and intricate tactics (more than it looks at first) ... a game of fun after all ... thanks to the inventor for creating this game for us.

Subject: Re:

Bernice: when vacation days are set they are substracted from the total of vacation days at once .. even when the vacation day itself still has to come

for example : suppose i have 10 vacation days left and i use them all for the following 2 weeks .. then you would see a total of 0 vacation days left on my profile .. but i still wont timeout the following 2 weeks

if i remember right you can see wether someone has set some vacation days in the future already .. i am not sure weither it shows it when 'today' is set as an vacation day though

something else that could have happened is when someone changes his/her weekend days .. the old setting might have been used (because it was still valid then) while you see the new setting when you look at it later (and in the time between someone has changed the setting)

how can someone with NO days left, weekend set for sat, sun - time out on a game and get another 24 hours?
