Another Flaw in the Tournaments

Simply said, an SB-Value is often pure humbug in small groups, Much better to
take the direct encounter as first choice - if just two are level, the one who won
the game between them, should rank higher (for that time) - beyond any doubt. ~*~

I see you joined all 5 of my tourneys
No skin off my nose, there are no prizes in those.
FYI I had no idea those battleboats tourneys were yours or that you removed me. I couldnt care less for your tournaments. I only joined because it was about to start.
I will not boot you from mine though.

longjohn , likes to creep in where not wanted . even tourneys hes been removed from

others may have a differing opinion.
In this case, Fencer has a duifferent opinion.
Both are correct

yes that is YOUR perspective

direct comparison decides naturally, that's why it's handled that way worldwide but here. ~*~

that is only one perspective.
Another argument could be made as to why the person that beat the other person lost to someone else that the other person beat.
It is not a clear cut solution, it depends on the perspective it is looked though

if just TWO are level, and one defeated the other,
he's beyond ANY doubt better that time, that group . ~*~

I don't think it's flawly.

what about the flawly tournament logic ? (23. July 2004, 16:56:54) ~*~

cariad: Of course I am :-D
Backoff: She is with me :-)

hehe, that's right Cariad, turn his links aginst him :)


Ummm Fencer, does Lenra know where you are???

I hope you're dressed for the occasion!

It's fast even for me and I am currently in some small hotel in South Bohemia. There is only a forest and nothing else :-D

Show off! :o)
(only joking chattylumps!)

Its brilliant here!!!

*the fact I have a newer faster pc might be helping there!!!!! lol

Of course it's fast.

seems fast enough from the UK :o)

still deadly slow..:(
having difficult playing games :(

maybe shadowy figure is causing the problems hehehehe


***joking***

UMMMMMM....shadowy....congrats on 1 year :) ....isnt it about time you upgraded....you can only be a bludger/freebie-rider for so long :)
welcome to the real world

Clock's just struck midnight here, that means it is now my 1 Year BK Anniversary -- Goodie goodie gumdrops!

Now if the site would just cooperate all the late-eggers could crawl back onto the web :)

Apparently by mere glancing at the post someone gave me hiccups *URP!* excuse me :P

same ole :( same ole :(
Is the site extremely slow again?
pages taking forever to load...i have done all the vacuuming and dusting required LOLOL

Yes. I never said it's already fixed.

I'm getting a red 1 by main page at all times now even though it's not my move in any games..i know this one has been reported before but it appears to have cropped up again..

Your very welcome

Thanks BuilderQ and SunFire!!

It takes four games of one kind before that person will get a rating on those kind of games.

He probably gained more than you lost, but since he was still unrated after the game, you could not see the change.

I sure don't understand the rating system. Played a game with an unrated player, he won and I lost 109 bkr's but he gained nothing!

Right.

what size are team logos ? 120x75 i think .

well whatever you did, it fixed my problem. Oh well, back to firefox!

no IE, no problems ;-)))

perhaps bk.com, poetry, books (wink wink) or similary appealing ... 0:)
perhaps preferably with a trigon moderatorship, us/aus/eu ... ~*~

One small emergency fix will fix it.

what about those messages on the guest mode?

BBW: It means "maybe in the future" :-)
Backoff: I changed nothing. And I don't recommend to use IE.

Also when I right click on a link and select "open in new window" with I.E 6.0 (like I always do), it seems like my cookie isn't staying with the new window, as the new window opens in guest mode. This just started today. It's not happening with Firefox, only IE. Any suggestions? Did Fencer change something?

repeat***

Ummm I also just noticed that in guest mode, you have people's real PM's including one that has a members phone number in it.

I think you may want to change that Fencer!

I just started in the middle of the pack. Adequate success pushes quickly skyward but crafty opponent has spanner in the works. Timing out on everyone else, he returns to make good our struggle. Now he is -400 points so I face only peril. There is now no possible reward. Ahhh, but I consume the small speck of flavor and my digestive services are restored.

ScarletRose - When BK2.0 came out, the "personal notes" field was gone - well you had to click a link to leave personal notes about a game. Made it a little harder to leave personal notes, which I do - but was cool because it saved room on the screen so the game board & Submit buttons where on the same screen (without having to scroll down). Now I've just noticed that the personal notes field is back.

Ummm I also just noticed that in guest mode, you have people's real PM's including one that has a members phone number in it.

Was that a good "Mmmmmmm", or a bad "Mmmmmm"?

Mmmmmm? :-)

So normally you don't show the notes?? *Giggle*.. that explains why it seems you don't see me! LOL

Mmmmmmm.

I'm playing my games trying to figure out what is different - it was really cool, i could play my game and the "submit" button would be near the bottom (of my big screen at work) - now I have to scroll down to hit submit.

I finally figured what is slowng me down - the "notes" box is back on the page!

As an added suggestion, i would love to see the 2 submit boxes ABOVE the notes boxes - something where the submit boxes are on the same screen as the play box that way you don't have to scroll down.

OR even better, how about an option that the submit boxes be ABOVE the game board, top of the page? I mean I've already made my move, I would rarely need to look at the board again - well in a few chess games and such to make sure I'm not beat too fast. But the submit buttons above the game board would be cool. (While making the moves, everything is cool where it is now.) (And again, just an option for people - not something that needs to be changed for everyone since I'm sure others would not like this idea.)

Something like that yes LOL

This one?
