Asunto: Re:

Universal Eyes: It did before you changed it - just before it started. It also had a different description too from the one that is currently there.

Why can you not give prizes out for ponds? There is usually a winner?

Universal Eyes: Is this the same kind of "Prize" tournament you initially set up here .... http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=145 ...???

Then changed it from a Prize Pond?

Please can we have an explanation?

I understand that the tourny itself will give you some good brainking experience, but until then, isnt there an "unrated" board you could hang out on?

Billmo8: I've received several *automated* messages from the computer posing as fencer that stated the tourney was created and should start within an hour, and then that it had started... :) Good Luck to all who joined.... (except shagglbrox my brother - I'm thinking about offering an extra prize to the player with the most wins against him and if they cause his elimination..)

Asunto: Re: Tournament

Billmo8: That tournament is currently in the "waiting" stage - which basicly means it should start in the next hour.

It looks like you are signed up so in an hour or so, games from this tournament should show up for you. Good Luck!

pgt: Of the five people who signed up, two have been removed from the tournament because they could not read the rules. (No more than 60 current games)

20. Febrero 2005, 20:04:46

LOL, I'm one of the first to say it too!

20. Febrero 2005, 20:02:14

Stevie

I constantly get reminded its a game site not chat site...so I tend to play first then read/chat LOL

20. Febrero 2005, 20:01:52

just to further that thought, what I meant for myself is that, as a Glob, I feel there are a few boards that its as important for me to keep up with, as it is to keep up with the games. You'll notice that I rarely play 1, 2 or 3 day games, because I know its difficult for me to keep up.

20. Febrero 2005, 19:59:44

Stevie: Not all the time, by the time I read the 4 or 5 boards I try to keep up with... well, that can take a hour or so when you got 100 flame posts to wade through (per board, that is)

grenv

Asunto: Re:

Eriisa: Also you're not playing 1000 games. I am busy too, but rarely have more than 40 games going, so I can keep up.

20. Febrero 2005, 19:43:55

Asunto: Re:

Eriisa: hiya :o)
the diference is..that if you are doing those things...you are not online :o)
If you are online you do play your games :o)

20. Febrero 2005, 19:41:00

It must be nice to be able to play as long as you want per day. Maybe I should not even play any games since I work long days at 2 jobs and then because I like to have a clean house, spend another couple of hours trying to wash, cook & clean. I guess I am very selfish to want to play in a tournament that was set up for 1 week moves and then actually think I should take a week between moves.

and then Godforbid I get sick as I was for the last month. *shakes head in dismay*

Asunto: Hyper Tournament

http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=7518&trnst=0

This tournament is for players who are currently playing less than 60 games, and who PROMISE to make at least one move per day!!!

Asunto: Re: People who sign up and don't play

MidnightMcMedic: I have already run three "invitation only" tournaments in three weeks - all of which have finished within a few days. It's a very satisfying way of playing a tournament. It would just be nice to be able to play other people, and when the tournament is advertisesd as "1-day per move", not have players with 500 or so open games join the tournament and use the "automatic vacation" feature when they don't, won't, or can't move once a day like everybody else!

Asunto: Re: Re:

grenv: It's meant for people like me who just wants to get a few games started with a long time limit. If you prefer shorter time limits, or want to see the result of a tournament as quickly as possible, then don't join. There are plenty of tournaments with time limits suiting your taste.
