what a pity to get so far...but what a great effort :) ***edit*** that is if I am reading te results correctly:( 23. October 2004, 07:30:20 Subject: Re: Trax World Championship  So Kevin, do you think Trax would make a good game for this game sites. (goes and looks at his profile to see if anything about Trax is in there!) <grin> 23. October 2004, 07:24:59 Subject: Re: Trax World Championship Kevin.... Thats really cool! I hope you do well :) 23. October 2004, 04:48:29 Subject: Trax World Championship Is due to start in about 30 minutes. 23. October 2004, 01:30:14 Modified by Andersp (23. October 2004, 01:32:18)  I live with that German "humor" every day *sigh* :)
*) added these " " 23. October 2004, 01:29:33 Its not automobile vacations, its automatic vacations... 23. October 2004, 01:28:39 It could be between 7-9 depending on when the "weekend" days fall.
If it falls in between the 5 days, it will only be 7. if it falls at the start, or end - then there would be 2 weekend days for 9 days. 23. October 2004, 01:26:40  i have a question about auto vacations. what kind of car will we get for it?? teee heee 23. October 2004, 01:10:36 If they are truely of the site, for whatever reason, then they should get the full benefit of their vacation and weekend/holiday time. But, if they are logged on at anytime, auto vacations should not be implimented. 23. October 2004, 01:00:27 I think a limit is a good thing, but I think it should be 5 auto vacations at a time (so with 2 weekend days, it gives them a week)
I think a week is not too much to give to a person who is in an emergency. 23. October 2004, 00:59:12  Thank you Harley..
I guess after a long work week, I'm feeling too sensitive.. LOL.. I thought I was being scolded.. No problem at all.. :-) 23. October 2004, 00:57:51  I think it was mentioned, Stevie.
Its not off topic here, Rod, I just thought you might be interested to read that if you hadn't already seen it! 23. October 2004, 00:53:39 Ok, sorry, I hadn't been there yet.. It was being discussed here, so I don't really think I was being off topic! 23. October 2004, 00:49:12 not about the limits to 2 or 3 per occurance there hasnt 23. October 2004, 00:48:30 rod, there has been a discussion about that on the tournaments board tonight. 23. October 2004, 00:39:59 Auto vacation is a great feature..
However, I have to agree that perhaps a limit is needed.. It seems unreasonable for a tournament to be held up for potentially 30 days.. It seems as though a maximum of 2 or 3 days added through auto-vacation, per occurance, would be a good compromise... 22. October 2004, 20:10:15 Not yet, pauloaguia. It should be done soon, I think Fencer has been too busy with the rating and graph things due to be implemented. And drining coffee. :o) 22. October 2004, 20:08:41 Subject: Re: Interview with...  Is BBW's interview alreay online? I didn't noticed it... (and BKInfo site is not loading for me right now...) 22. October 2004, 19:30:34 Subject: Interview with... bwildman.........
I'll be putting this interview together this weekend, so if you have any last minute questions for bwildman, please send them to me in the next 24 hours!! 22. October 2004, 18:08:39 I think its a pain in the butt, and a limit of maybe 2 extensions at most be allowed in any one ocurance
It is being abused 22. October 2004, 17:08:20 its a great idea for paying members who often never get a chance to use up their vacation days but have the peace of mind to go and take vacation whenever they wish knowing they will not time out.
A very good addition to this site by Fencer for paying members 22. October 2004, 16:44:32 Mclaudio : Limits on vacation are 30 days per year . 22. October 2004, 16:23:42 you have to take into consideration weekends... 22. October 2004, 16:20:49 Ok! and there are a limit of time to auto-vacations? or if the palyer it´s a paying member then he can never more played the game if he want? and make crazy things like stopped all the tournament and games he played! 22. October 2004, 15:55:57 If it's a paying member, they may have auto-vacations set. 22. October 2004, 15:54:28 Subject: tournaments Any body can explain me why a player in a tournament who never play, the timer reset always and give him everyday one day more to play? Its happen with our tournament that never more finish because the last player never more play!!!! 22. October 2004, 06:26:32 The ratings question is something I asked months ago, but it got burried with some other subject, and I never really thought about it again until I seen the server news. I understand why you would not want to change it.
... but maybe it would be good for a turn based game site to come up with a rating system designed around this type of play, and not a rating system for a totaly different type of play - over the table/live play... again, nothing that needs to happen here right now - but something to think about. 22. October 2004, 06:20:06 Modified by LongJohn (22. October 2004, 06:20:48) I personally think the rating system is just fine the way it is.
There will always be points of contention, but it basically works and gives a good indication which is all we really need right ? 22. October 2004, 06:17:03 *note to BBW.....never suggest trend breaking ideas before Fencers coffee!*
LOL:) 22. October 2004, 06:15:03  As somebody pointed out, I am not going to change the system after all tests of the generator are passed and two-three days before its launch. 22. October 2004, 06:10:37 Or intruduce those little smile face icons for paying members to use on the boards, and have a little smile face with a big thumbs down. 22. October 2004, 06:06:34 If you left of the " . " on the No., it could have been shorter! :-) 22. October 2004, 06:03:52 One day I'll find even shorter answer :-) 22. October 2004, 05:55:17 good point IMCK - there is probable no perfect way either way since it is currently flawed. If I had to pick between the "2" systems, I would pick the one with the flaw you pointed out since you know about that before you start the game.
But lets think about this a little more - maybe there would be a beter "middle ground". Possible calculate ratings with ratings when the game started, but with current game counts? 22. October 2004, 05:46:17 good point upchuck! give the man a cigar!! ;-) 22. October 2004, 05:39:23 One problem I see is that BKR is calculated in part based on how many games have been played. If I start a game with you which lasts a year, and you finish 50 other games during that time, it wouldnt be fair anymore for my bkr to be calculated like you have played only one game. 22. October 2004, 05:33:59 Lets say it is the first game of that type for both players when the game begins. You calculate what the bkr would be if the game ended as their only completed games, then be added/subtracted from whatever their BkR really is at the end of the game. << < 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 513 514 515 > >> |
