imsoaddicted: Sorry, I didnt mean to upset you. Was just thinking, if u moved every 8seconds how in the world did u cook/make food in that 24hrs? Or even eat it? LOL Didnt U use the bathroom? No sleep in 24hrs?
Baked Alaskan: well i was here only 21 hrs as i slept for 2 took a bath rebooted once a hour and in the time it took to reboot i grabbed something to eat but if i had been playing only ludo and for the full 24 hrs i know 12000 moves in one day is possible!!!! stupid yep but not impossible
imsoaddicted: well done! quite some effort not one which i am capable of copying, let alone beating, .. i am not determined enough .. it needs quite some concentration to it
just wondering, because I wasn't going to be online until late tonight, and my plan was to get lots of moves made thursday night so that I would stay caught up... Obviously I couldn't do that with the site down.. So I'm just curious if I have to cancel my plans tonight.. (LOL, people will laugh at me if I say I can't go because of my games!) And, I'm going to be gone for the next 14 hours because of work.. so can't do it now..
Fencer: We can only sign up for one Team of a particular game as the system will not let us play for more than one. So how can someone playing for a team in one fellowship, leave that team while still playing for it in a match, and join another fellowships team of the same game ??? Is it a bug ??? If not the same person could carry on playing for every fellowship they are a member of.
Could someone please explain to me the meaning of my row on the Dark Chess ratings page? It states "14 (7/0/15)", under "Counted Games". I've just checked and every single one of my Dark Chess games was ranked (Counts towards BKR). So why is it that it says I have only 14 games when I won 7 and lost 15?
MadMonkey: Not a bug, but I think is a good feature. Sometimes a team just needs 1 or 2 more people, and for players who like to play - being able to sign up for that team to play, then possible go back to their original team is a nice feature.
I think there was once a bug where the same player was playing in the same team challenge/match (against themselves) - I'm not sure if that was ever fixed or what came of it.
But as long as that does not happen - it's nice to be able to move teams. (But I would support maybe some kind of limit - like you can't join anouther team for 30 days since you joined another or something)
pauloaguia: You have at least 8 games which did not make it past move #1 - games that don't make it to the 4th move are not counted towards the ratings (but are counted in your win/loss record) - so that is why you see a difference.
BIG BAD WOLF: Something has to be done. This player only joined my team recently and i put them in a match against another fellowhsip that started yesterday morning. Then in the evening they leave the team, sign up for another fellowship team and then challenge us to a match as well Something not quite right about that, if we all did that, it would make fellowship matches pointless.
MadMonkey: your not allowed to leave a fellowhip if you have outstaniding tournament games so i dont see why the rules should be different with interfellowship matches
I have always thought that everyone should stay with one fellowship (for all games). That way a greater sense of team fidelity could be nurtured. It would inspire greater competition between fellowships and that would probably be more fun.
BIG BAD WOLF: I agree with you Wolf we should be able to move about a bit more. What's the point of being in so many Fellowships if you can't join in on some games.
crosseyed: simple answer to that dont invite that fellowship to any more matches and the question over time-limits you bring up again was well answered on the tournament board not so long ago
imsoaddicted: The simple answer is either the Barinking rules are changed so we are allowed to play for more than one Team of a certain game at one time or the bug is fixed so people can not abuse it.
crosseyed: You may say something about the time limits as often as you like - that doesn't mean that they will be discussed. There doesn't seem to be a point in discussing time limits to me - what aspect would you want to discuss?
And how can you abuse time limits? You simply can't.
Mr. Shumway: Yes I CAN mention time limits as often as I wish. It's people like you who discuss it further lol. If I play a game that is for 1 hour, I expect it to be I hour. Not 2 hours.
imsoaddicted: Well it apears not on this site. I have played a few 1 hour games where it became a 2 hour game before completion time. I am not referring to the other night where no games were time-out when the site was playing up once again.
