Subjekt: Vacation vs Auto-Vacation

Maybe a question for Fencer, maybe someone else can answer.

When you use auto-vacation, I know that when a game reaches 0 time, 24 hours is added on. (But the rest of your games get nothing added on.)

When you use to have to use Vacation days, if you scheduled a vacation day, 24 hours was added to ALL your games (not just the ones that are getting ready to expire).

My question - is it still like that, or does scheduling a vacation day act like auto-vacation and just add time to the expired games only?

The main page says that my "first" game will expire in 1 hour. I have activated the auto-protection thing, but let's suppose i hadn't.
Then if i wanted to protect the games from expiration, i would have to add one vacation day for Saturday. But this isn't possible as i have it on my weekend days.
So i suppose that (even with the auto-protection off) the games will be protected during Saturday even if the main page shows that in 1 hour they will expire...........
Right......?

Of course.

Thats my understanding too, bry. I'm currently in a 10 wins match, and only one of us will get one win added to our win/loss score at the end of it.

Subjekt: Re:

EdTrice: I may be wrong, but my understanding is that if you play a 5 games match, the whole set of games is counted as one win - or loss.

Oh, right, I was just in the finals of a tournament that was a 3-wins match.

But games are still counted, aren't they?

In all of my tournaments that had a finals sections, I have made it to the finals, that is a heck of a lot of uncounted games if this is the case!

1. apríla 2005, 16:04:19

Were they 'not counted' games, Ed? Without looking at your profile, that seems to be the most likely explanation. Or was one a 3 match game?

Subjekt: Game count

I know I have played 22 games of Amazons, but my profile only shows 20. Can anyone determine where the other 2 games are?

Great, now I won't know what everyone is talking about...
What's a * 133 *? or a * 135 *? or a * 128 *?
Is it because it's April fool's day?

I tell you, this smile business is a two sided sword... someday a pawn will get the wrong message and then all hell will break loose

Walter Montego: yes I realize it was 8 months ago and I dont really think you could be a Service Rep here AND NOT LOG ON....if someone needed help you wouldnt get the message :(

You could be a service rep and not play games but she hasnt logged on...

Princess Kammy was part of the KM so I can't understand how she became a service rep in the first place :(

I think Princes Kammy

should be deleted form being a Customer Service Rep.
It is kind of ridiculous having a CSR that has not been online in almost a whole year. I think April marks a year.

bumble: Fencer has already asked me to do that. I sent him the log-in page translated into farsi but Fencer said the system doesn't recognize the letters so I stopped working on it.

31. marca 2005, 10:42:18

Subjekt: Re:

reza: I've prepared a translation tool built in BrainKing itself. But it's not possible to use it for Farsi until the database is upgraded. It should happen within a week or two, I hope.

Subjekt: Re:

reza: The site is being translated into several languages. It's part of Fencer's cunning plan for world domination.

I don't think there is anyone doing Farsi. Are you offering.

31. marca 2005, 10:32:25

It appears to me that ughaibu is translating the site to Japanese or Chinese or something, right?

By the way Fencer, did you manage to make your system read Farsi?

31. marca 2005, 08:19:34

Thanks. I dont like any of those games so I never explored the page's function.

31. marca 2005, 08:10:52

ughaibu: That's it! And this feature exists since 2003, how come you didn't find it before? :-)

You mean I can define a default starting position at that page so as to avoid the necessity of setting up the position each time I start one of those games?

ughaibu: On that page, you can prepare starting positions for games where they must be edited before a game starts (Battleboats, Screen Chess, etc.). Just try it.

yes it should BBW. I noticed it coincide with the time change over the pond last weekend. Sunday morning it will be back right for us again.

OK, that could be - I think our time changes this upcomming weekend, so hopefully it will fix itself then.

Did the server time recently change? Well I normally keep my clock on this site the same as Czech time - that way midnight in Czech is 5pm my time.

But now midnight Czech time is 4pm. Did something change?
