You know it really does not matter since it never said what the prize was - maybe the prize was "The pleasure of playing in his pond".

Now if it said something like "Prize for 6 month rook", or some other object - then I would agree that it is wrong to change it. But it never said what the prize was so it really does not matter.

Subject: Re:
Universal Eyes: the part where it was advertised as being a Prize Pond(as per post below), up until you changed it then it started.

I'm sure some of the players in it perhaps signed up with it being a Prize Pond mwho otherwise may not have signed up.

What part of this do you not understand?

I can confirm..I joined a pond offering a prize. It was described as Brys post below...but has changed AGTER the pond started

Welcome to all,thanks for joining let's get toughter and fight against this CF ********

Subject: 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?

You can not give prizes out for ponds and no where does it stat there is a prize,it says the winners will be anounced upon winning.Bry you should read again i'm sure everyone else will.

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?

(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..)

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!

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

20. February 2005, 20:01:52
Eriisa 
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. February 2005, 19:59:44
Eriisa 
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)

Subject: 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.

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)

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*

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!!!

Subject: 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!
