It looks like if a player has no rating, the rating becomes 0 (instead of 1300) for the Avarage BKR of a team in team tournaments. Is that true? (referring to http://brainking.com/nl/TeamTournaments?tri=70&trnst=10 Cloning Gammon Team tournament)
aaru: Painfully slow for some folks and fast as anything for others today.. My friend asked me earlier today if it was slow as she kept getting white pages and took ages to make one move.. I can get through my games faster than more days. We are in the same country. Seems it doesnt matter what part of the world some are in.. it is just slow for some and fast for others.. Mind boggling
Fencer: I vote for: Backgammon Cube 7 points Hyper Backgammon Ludo Dark Battleboats Cloned Backgammon Linetris (never played in teams) Spider Linetris (never played and more balanced than Spider Line4) Dark Chess (never played too and it´s not necessary a great level) AntiCheckers (easy and fast game) AntiReversi (interesting variant) Halma 10x10 (nice game) Tablut (very interesting) Portuguese-Spanish Checkers Atomic Chess (funny game) Knight Relay Chess (never played) and other 6 games more.
Foxy Lady: BBQ and swimming are definately on the cards with temps averaging 30-35degC each and every day LOL but we have had some rain making this the first wet season since 2000(as reported in our daily paper)...we badly need the water
All the gammons, halma 8x8 and howabout throwing in one of your promised new games for the fun of seeing how quick people get teams together. Actually dont know why I said that because Im back at work tomorrow, but it is an idea!
BIG BAD WOLF: Having vacation days on multi-player games, especially ones that are really large, cannot possibly work. Since we all take vacations at different times, a 3 or 4 days per move time control would turn into a week and a half to two weeks time control. So I think the best option is simply not to use autofinish in these.
joshi tm: As I have said many times, I am not at home yet, so there will be no changes until I come back. When you have looked at your profile, you have surely noticed that public holidays are still valid, so you have 45 days in fact and there is no point to shout at me.
Fencer: As you have promised, public holidays aren't there anymore so you would give us 5 extra vacation days. When I look at my profile I see that there are 40 days left not 45!
