Asunto: a joke for the Czechs :)

no offence of course....just thought it might lighten things up :)

One blonde in Pilsen asks another:
"Which is further, Prague or the Moon?".

The other replies: "Like HELLOOOOO, can you see Prague from here???

Asunto: Re: anybody else having a problem with dark chess?

It has nothing to do with Dark Chess itself. Please check if some message in the message archive below the game board doesn't contain a very loooooooong word which makes the whole page wider.

That game is private.. couldn't check it out. I am also WebTV, so I was hoping to see this problem, as I've never run into what you described before.

Modificado por plaintiger (6. Septiembre 2004, 06:36:05)

i'm playing a game of dark chess and as of this afternoon or so (US eastern time) the page my dark chess game appears on is way too wide - i have to scroll horizontally (brrrr!) to see the move list. my opponent, who's using WebTV, poor thing, is having the same problem - and with the full-featured luxury that WebTV offers, She doesn't even seem to have the option of scrolling horizontally and so can only see the left column of the move list.

the game is here. thanks in advance for any help...

oh yeah, and i forgot to mention: none of the other games i'm playing, including my other game with the same opponent, exhibit this problem. and none of them are dark chess, either.

DeaD man WalkiN

Asunto: I think PAWNS should really think what tourneys to sign up for

cause I looked at 2 backgammon tourneys and see pawns in them. With those tourneys they r going to take a long time to play. I don't know if management can make a note for the pawns, that they might want to play in Fast Start - First 5 to sign - by BIG BAD WOLF. So that way they would not be locked in a tourney that may take 6 months to a year to play. Is just a thought I had. Well I said my thing so back to my couch in the corner I go.

Hope you all the best .. stay safe.. and hopefully there won't be too much damage..

Asunto: Re:

Finally made landfall near Stuart, Backoff and Floosie....but, it's still creeping along.

I've been getting High Wind Advisories on the radio ever since it made landfall. They are expecting gusts of close to 80mph up in my neck of the woods.....the southern half of the county is supposed to be getting worst end of it.

Even worse, by 8am, it's expected to still be in the southern part of Central Florida and not expected to clear out of the peninsula area until 8pm.

This storm has certainly worn out its welcome......as if it didn't wear it out before coming here.

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:49:20

NOT a floosie

Take it back, I don't want it!

You've have a while yet before you're out of it too.

This is one long, slow storm. At least the last one came and went quickly. I think this one is worse.

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:31:20

yep. You are getting what we've had for the last 12 hours. Stay safe!

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:30:29

NOT a floosie

I'm ok. The power is starting to go off around here. The winds and the rain is picking up. It's been a very long day, and probably another 20 or 24 hours before I'm out of it.

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:17:23

Not a Floosie, how are you. Are you safe?

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:15:26

always!

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:11:17

Stay safe BO

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:10:20

lol yep! The old code was only to 111mph. Winds higher than that here. New code, 155mph. We arn't even close to that lol.

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

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:05:39

Check this out

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

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:04:06

MidnightMcMedic

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

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:03:14

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.

5. Septiembre 2004, 05:00:20

o brother

5. Septiembre 2004, 04:58:38

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

5. Septiembre 2004, 04:57:32

Your lives are more important then your new home, Backoff

5. Septiembre 2004, 04:55:30

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.

5. Septiembre 2004, 04:53:04

I here you got 4 hours to evacuate?

5. Septiembre 2004, 04:51:13

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.

Asunto: we made it

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.

4. Septiembre 2004, 19:25:50

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(

Asunto: Re: Froglet

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

4. Septiembre 2004, 19:14:35

Asunto: Re: Froglet

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

Asunto: Re: Froglet

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

4. Septiembre 2004, 19:08:25

were all the frogs jumped? or were there some left

4. Septiembre 2004, 19:04:07

SunFire

Asunto: Froglet

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?

4. Septiembre 2004, 18:40:16

Fencer

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 ?? :)

4. Septiembre 2004, 18:29:07

coan.net

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

4. Septiembre 2004, 18:27:27

Niki

Asunto: Actually ....

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

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

4. Septiembre 2004, 18:09:16

Niki

Asunto: Froglet.. random placement ??

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
