I thought it was 3 months last time ;o). So as a pawn...how many moves did you have to replay this afternoon? 20 at the most I guess. I bet you are really hard done by eh

What do you do with your rating?

22. Noiembrie 2004, 20:16:50

Joseph S

the only thing i'm complaining about is that there is a ratings system here..!!...it's not very accurate if you ask me....last october when it crashed and we all lost an entire MONTHS worth of games we were told it would all be ok...send him our ratings as we remembered them and they'd be reinstated....well last month all the games i had resigned because i was ASS-ured it would be ok and my ratings would not reflect them as losses all got turned around and they ARE losses now...so am i to believe him again telling me the same thing...you rally round a liar i'm not..!!

Stevie

once again BBW...you are so right ;o) xoxoxoxox LOL

I lost a few moves...so what, must be worth maybe a cent??? i wont complain about that :o) Backups every day now, you cant do it much more frequent than that can you

22. Noiembrie 2004, 18:44:59

Exactly, and I know mine and others comments about "pawns" are only to the very minor part of the pawn population here.

Most pawns bring game playing to this site, and possible some day bring money in the form of a membership to this site.

It is only a small handful which cause problems, unforntatly - those are the loudest ones sometimes.

not all pawns,Gror....seems a "small" group to me.;-)

It's very funny to hear pawns, who did NOTHING and yet have benefit of being accepted on this server, complaining about something, what is very often happening with all servers on the internet, but this server this thing affected once I remember and with the insufficient hardware it's a sort of a miracle. I personally would pay MORE if I was able to, to prevent this stuff, but what do you do, PAWNS? I'm disgusted...

it always sounds better when you say it!!! Your just the GREATEST!!! ;-)

22. Noiembrie 2004, 18:29:14

its a shame some kids have very few manners...they tend to ruin it for others.

22. Noiembrie 2004, 18:27:50

The only people I see complaining are pawns. Most everyone else knows that by being paid members, we are helping towards the goal of a new server which will make this site beter in the long run. Heck, this is the first (more then a few minutes) down time I have seen for a long time of this site, and with the old equipment that this site currently runs - that is pretty good!

Keep up the work Fencer, this is a great gamesite.

This hasn't happened for more than a year. The site is ridiculously cheap, do you always ask for your money back when similarly infrequent hiccoughs occur with things for which you've laid out equivalent cash? Your griping is pathetic.

22. Noiembrie 2004, 18:20:21

Subiectul: not sure what a "mitt" is...

but I dont see an awful lot of "paid" members complaining.Perhaps you could show your support in making this site better,by joining the "paid" members? ;-)

harley

You're wrong, Swampthing. Paying members don't demand a refund when something goes wrong, we rally round and try to get more funds flowing in so Fencer and co. can get the new server that this site needs.

22. Noiembrie 2004, 18:16:57

Swampthing

If more people where a paing member, more people will wanted their money back...At least thats what I think

read your server news on your main page..if more people were paying members...this sort of thing would surely be less frequent. ;-)

Subiectul: I know it is frustrating Mamba

but do remember this.. Servers are not Gods.. and unfortunately they break down occassionally..

Fencer has done excellent with this site and we rarely do see site crashes.. So just know this is not a normal occurance..

Have a wonderful Monday!

22. Noiembrie 2004, 17:26:01

if your moves were Great yesterday,your skills should be Greater today.grin and bear it ;-)

it sure is tough to play games here when people get second chances in games...how can i be rated if the GREAT moves i made last evening and early this morning are GONE..!!..what am i being rated on...how well i do the second time around...???....what a joke

22. Noiembrie 2004, 16:47:36

<If you want to know your own vacation days you can go to Settings -> Calendar and it says how many days you have left.
If you mean other player's days... well, then you can't know... (I really think there should be a way too)

When a game times out, that day is set as a vacation day. If another game times out 5 mins later, it will notice that day is already set as a vacation day and automatically extend itself, without spending another day.

Subiectul: automatic vacation days

can you see how many vacation days someone has left ?

when a game times out and the player has auto vacation days set .. does it add an extra day to the time for all other games that person is playing as well or does it cost 1 vacation day per timed out game ?

Insult or not, its off topic. In fact the last 5 posts have been, so I'm removing them.

That must be why Pastaman had such problems trying to play here.

18. Noiembrie 2004, 22:14:17

Is it 24 hours, or "up to 24 hours".

I was just thinking Fencer has to approve each new account - which would be done the next time he is online (night time his time right now), but I guess it could just be a set 24 hours.

18. Noiembrie 2004, 22:12:01
