Onderwerp: Re: Is this fair?
that's an expression after facing numerous, seemingly chained events ... :")

I doubt though that it's valid to let it cumulate in an impression, paid
members are having an advantage at stalling games for what purpose ever,
although I don't know shaggath, someone who's won 50 tourneys already,
seems very unlikely depending on stalling to keep high ratings ... ;)

I admit, also I sometimes use a certain timing to have a slight influence on
my lost points ... i.e. first I lose a couple of inevitably gone games, then I
finish all wins of the same game-type that I might have delayed a bit before.
>:) results in minimally lesser losses in my ratings ... :D

indeed 2 months for 10 moves is slow.
but actually cAn happen during holiday time.

for moving each day preferably I do agree as well,
but if my opponent has more than 120 games I don't expect it.

I suggest avoiding tournaments with a timerange of more than 3 days
refering to your preferences as I understood them ... good luck ... :) ~*~

Onderwerp: Is this fair?
I don't want to attack anyone or cause a flame war but I feel I must do this. I recently finished a 2 game Line4 match with an unnamed player that started on June 19. The first game, a win for me, was completed June 19. The second game lasted until August 24, ending in a timeout by the other player. The game had a 5 day limit and only lasted 10 moves yet it took over 2 months. I make my moves when I get them and always move within 24 hours of my opponent's move. The reason this game lasted so long is vacation. Other player used many vacation days, at least 15, and I ask is it right that players who pay more can stall losses to keep high ratings and rankings with their 30! vacation days? Nothing against the other player as she has a lot of games at a time and she's not the only one who does this. Also, there's a bug in the game history in the profiles. It is showing the date of the first game's completion not the match completion.

Sir Pussycat, you could try general chat, you are free to post what you like there (within reason of course!). It isn't specifically FOR gripes, but I suppose if you feel you must post on this subject, then that would be the place.

Sir Pussycat, I won't delete your messages this time because then Fencers reply would stand alone, but really complaining will do no good.
We're all aware of the problems here, we all experience them and everything possible is being done to sort them out. More information on this can be found at the BrainKing.info site, where you can also find my email address. Feel free to message me privately with any gripes and I will lend a sympathetic ear. But this isn't the place. Thank you :o)

And what do you think that happens after another useless post like this one of yours? The servers will automatically start working faster? An unexpected load of money will appear on my bank account and I'll be able to buy new machines?
I don't like complaints without suggested solutions. Especially from non-paying members.

Yes there do seem to be a few more problems the last few days. I keep getting a 'timed out' message or the 'full to capacity' message.
But patience is the key, I hit refresh a few times and I get back in. Stick with it, these bugs will hopefully be ironed out soon :o)

I have different problems with this site constantly. I am trying to be calm, and just work my way through it. It is my opinion that Fencer needs to limit new people comming to this site to paying members only until he can iron out the bugs and get the site to where it can handle the current load.

i changed my layout to columns. and all my boards on the games are smaller, i tried changing the size and it's still so different. i like the columns on the sides, it's easier to see everything, can i do anything to keep them the way they were, without changing back.

OK, lets see if I understand the "hide" button.

If you are a Moderator, you have the option to "hide" a users message.

Now does it hide ALL messages that the user post (so he can keep posting and no one will see them), or does it just hide that one post?

Provisional rating is always inaccurate.

30. augustus 2003, 11:18:50
harley 
Yes but that will soon drop if they are not deserving of it. I have had it happen, suddenly found myself with a great rating at games I'm not especially good at! It does happen, and mine sure dropped fast when I started playing with simlar rated players!
I think it all depends on the ratings of your opponents for those first four games.

Onderwerp: Re: Rating players regardless of the game
But its curious,that sometimes a new player, who has only played 4 games against players with bad or without rating,suddenly has one of the best ratings.

harley 
Onderwerp: Re: Rating players regardless of the game
If you click on 'established BKR only' it will filter out all the provisional ratings for you, and leave you with the players who have established ratings :o)
But its nice for provisionally rated players to see where they fall in the ratings tables.

WhisperzQ 
Onderwerp: Re: Rating players regardless of the game
After a player has completed 4 games they are given a provisional rating which will be in italics. Once they have completed 25 games the rating is then changed to standard text.

Likewise with rankings ... after 4 games they are included in the "all players" ranking ... and then after 25 games they will have an "established BKR" ranking followed by their "all players" ranking something like 23(44)
