alexlee: There was/is only one person who created far too many tournaments. There is another but it looks like people do sign up for them and they do get played. It was the Team tournaments that are not starting due to not enough teams signing up, that started this discussion.
There needs to be a limit as to how many tournaments someone can post. Terrys asked about this a while go. Fencer sounded like he would do it if we came up with a number. Five seems like a reasonable number to me
Crosseyed Mary: I have the same 4 players on my teams. Mel is in one. But most are the same 4. They all have ask me to not list them in challenges. The 5 of us only help keep team games going. I only play team games, no others.
Marshmud: OOPS....that wasnt what I understood way back then,....that puts a different slant o things ...Hoping you are cancer free now and congrats for beating it.....xxx
Marshmud: Your comment about your team members not wanting to play team challenge games/tournaments is only confirming what I have been tying to explain to Kookaburra. So your team members must think they are too elite to play other team challenge games! I do have a very good memory regarding the universe etc.
Bernice: No, I back out as I was going through a tough go. Its a shame, because fencer was going to stick around a full year for free. I had mctriva and another programmer from Greece to me help out, but honestly I didnt think I was going to be around another 12 months. Some thought his asking price was high, but it was fair. I had problems on my end it had nothing to do with greed.
Crosseyed Mary: Been cancer free two years now so hopefully I dont disappear lol. My friends knew what was going on. I dont play team challenges, and none of my team members want to either, just team tournaments.
Marshmud: Marshmud I remember when you were going to buy this gaming site, but greed got in the way of settlement if I remember correctly...It is amazing how some people are selectivein memories, but then i guess that does happen in old age hahahaha....Gone are the days when you couldnt get a game unless you were on here 24/7 because they filled up so quickly...How times change ;
Marshmud: I recall your disappeared on two occasions for a very long time. So can you guarantee that won't happen again? Otherwise I could send you team challenge game.
Kookaburra: What I meant is GT has a active owner, and a paid full time programmer. This site just needs a new owner with passion to move it forward. This sites code is wrote that way, far brilliant to any out there, just his passion went from his game site to his family. I understand your frustration, but Im one that has teams in all the team tournaments so Im trying to keep them going and asked coan a year ago to lower the minimum players, in which he did. Ive been trying to get a checker team together for many moons. Just not many play checkers, sadly.
Kookaburra: This is a very good site to play games in. Perhaps you could set up some tournaments and you will see that players will sign up. It seems a shame to have full membership and only play a few games.
Crosseyed Mary: I am involved mainly with the checkers and chess fraternity there and we seem to be doing ok. It has a very good turn based implementation of checkers there. The best I’ve seen. Especially with the Restriction and 11 man ballot. Also have a couple of other clubs as a sideline.
Kookaburra: I am already a member in Goldtoken and have been for many years. To be honest I do not like the layout there. So I just play regular games.
Crosseyed Mary: If you join Goldtoken let me know. I am kookaburra there and own a number of very active clubs. And also some clubs I assist with in chess com. I can help you. It is a bit tricky when you first join a site. We also have a system in Goldtoken where when new people join we arrange some games for them from some friendly people.
Kookaburra: You could do it but I think you will find that you are flogging a dead horse at times. The apathy is from the players in this site. I cannot navigate around Goldtoken peculiar way of joining team games or signing up for games.
Crosseyed Mary: I didn’t mean to criticise. But I am in the Checkers and Russian checkers and both haven’t taken off. I don’t really like backgammon much and so far it has taken off. I am doing ok in them. Maybe people just play individual games here and clubs are not so important. That’s ok. People play what they like.
moistfinger: I agree when you can’t get 4 teams of 4 players for a game. It isn’t very active. In Goldtoken I have a number of clubs and can get 40 checker players in a tournament. It is a good site here. Just not very active. And the clubs here don’t seem to do much.
moistfinger: It is an active site but perhaps not in the areas you would like. What may have caused some decline was when the owner made it clear he had lost interest in this site.
Kookaburra: Yes they can but only join one team per tournament game. So if they are in several fellowships it makes difficult to get enough teams to sign up.
I was looking forward to the Russian Checker Team challenge and it didn’t start. It would appear at this site clubs do almost nothing and team challenges almost non existent. Is there any hope for this to improve????? I am looking to leave currently as this doesn’t seem like a very active site. I am new here.
DeaD man WalkiN: some people simply don't know the rules. Don't get angry; refer them to read the rules, and to stop playing if they don't like them.
Aside from that, I can understand that the doubling cube can be an extremely annoying thing, especially if you don't understand it - your opponent roles a lucky 6-6 and turns the game around, and then has the audacity to double... but that is Backgammon. [this is an explanation, not an excuse!] He needs to learn to use the cube. And if he cannot lose, he should go play with dolls instead.
DeaD man WalkiN: So its a game using the beating cube? A multi game match? Well you can start by offering a double before you roll your first set of dice.. Still not sure why he is angry?
