Bernice: as for the possible new owner of BK, I have nothing but respect for Fencer and all he has done to create and maintain this awesome game site, but if it changes hands, I will be happy to help the new owner in any ways I can
baddessi: I hope you have a great time in Ireland over the next few weeks. You and the hubby will enjoy the beautiful countryside.. Don't let Geomomo try to trick you into buying his goats and beware of Bushmills friday.
baddessi: enjoy your holiday you lucky thing :) and maybe by the time you get back there will be a new owner of BK and that could be one of the things that could be fixed ;)
Bernice: The only option I saw was to click on auto-vacation. I have 35 days left so it should be fine. I remember in the past you could set actual days, but auto will be fine. Thanks everyone for all the help! I will be gone the 4th thru the 20th if I time out, then sorry!
Bernice: Some kind of glitch, or error on the part of a player, seems much, much, much, much more likely then someone maliciously choosing two of your games to delete.
Bernice: Looking at your games, I see 2 games that you are playing which are non-tournament games.
Since you have 12 games total, could it be that possible you only choose to see 10 games on your main page, and these other 2 games were on page 2 of the game list maybe?
Bernice: I guess Fencer could go into your accoutn and change things (without the password), but I doubt he would be interested to do that. Could it be your opponent resigned? Or deleted his/her ID, and all games went with it?
Isn't it strange....I was only playing 2 games with friends and these games were not in tourneys and they both seemed to disappear from my gamesheet. Is it possible that someone can access our personal data and remove games? All the tourneys were there just these 2 were missing... or is someone going into peoples account and they shouldn't be? HMMMMMM
BGBedlam: That selection is meant to give players different boards, for example the game knight fight. You don't want all players to have the same board,. Another example would be the game Pah Tum.
Marshmud: I am surprised that any code was changed. Many people complain for years about Fencer not changing/adding/correcting anything at all - so is this what he would do first? Could be, but I am surprised.
Marshmud: Maybe it's different for team tournaments. I'm not a programmer, by any stretch of the imagination. But I have noticed it only recently, in another regular random tournament I'm in. Not Team. And I'm POSITIVE, it wasn't that way before
Aganju: No not at all. Just check any random tournament. For a easy example, check the team tournament random tournament. You will see that every players 2 game match are the same random game.
Marshmud: I think it is something that recently changed. Because I don't ever remember playing 2 different games with the same player in a random tournament, and I think it is tied to "random position for each game" as Aganju says.
I love the random tournaments and have played a lot. This "phenomenon" is something I have only recently noticed.
I don't know if I've not been keeping my ear to the ground, but I created this tournament and it's on of those round robins where you play each opponent in two seperate games/matches. I appear to be playing each opponent with different games.
