Msg#4 I am going on vacation next MONTH. Do I understand correctly the vacation days do not apply to ponds?

Purple: I prepare a new system of Brains which should enable this option.

I would like to see us be able to transfer (donate) days to a friend in need.

Fencer: 1 Euro per day purchased.

Dont make it too cheap. We dont want anyone taking advantage of it, but should be reasonably priced enough to be affordable to someone who desperately needs to purchase a few extra days in a time of need.

eagle eye: You'll be able to play, not talk.

If a player from your blocked list will join the same tournament as you what will happen then? Will you be able to play/talk?

Fencer: Thankee :-)

playBunny: Hidden or concealed.

Heya Pedro. That's a private message to Andersp there. Care to tell us non-swedies what "dold" means? ;-)

Andersp: I see you translated the "cloak mode" as "dold"...very clever IMO...

Chessmaster1000: Yes. But there is still a profit for me.

Fencer: So if i buy today 5 days and tomorrow another 5 days i will pay 20 Euro instead of 1000 that i would pay if i bought instantly 10 days....

Fencer: It's interesting scale. Because I needn't extra days, I can accept it

How about the idea that you get your vacation days reset if you renew your membership.

So for example, even if your membership expires in 2006 - if you renew now (until 2007), then you get your vacation days reset.

lukulus: 1 day = 2 Euro
2 days = 4 Euro
3 days = 6 Euro
4 days = 8 Euro
5 days = 10 Euro
6 days = 20 Euro
7 days = 50 Euro
8 days = 100 Euro
9 days = 500 Euro
10 and more days = 1000 Euro

I think there could be two possibilities:
first, a bit more expensive - to buy extra days
second, cheaper, transfer unused days from last year.
And of course, there must be limit.

pauloaguia: "Not important" doesn't mean "absolutely useless".

Maybe add the possibility for pawns to buy game slots and tournament slots

pauloaguia: Why would pawns want to buy vacation days but not buy a membership???? Just wondering.

pauloaguia: The fact that you can now start games where vacation days don't count might make it easier on the pawns.

Only for future tournaments. Pawns stuck in old tournaments will be stuck much longer

Fencer: The opinion of "a lot of pawns" is not important.

Pawns still make up for most of the members on this site. Without them you'd have no site!
Anyway, pawns will be able to buy vacation days as well, right?

Luke Skywalker: The fact that you can now start games where vacation days don't count might make it easier on the pawns.

Om ni (mot förmodan) skulle hitta fel i den svenska översättningen, dra er inte för att meddela mig per PM.

trans. If you (very doubtful) find any errors in the swedish translation, dont hesitate to PM me

Fencer: i dont like the idea to be able to buy more vacations either ... 30 days per year is reasonable imo

when its possible to buy more days it might be always like the end of last year .. when people are just using up their extra vacation days

of course there is an advantage to it as well .. for the site it will mean more income .. and therefore probably a faster hardware upgrade :)

Luke Skywalker: The opinion of "a lot of pawns" is not important.

BTW, I don't care, but I think a lot of pawns will be against the possibility to buy extra vacation days. It would create a problem for the old slow going tournaments.

€1 per day - €5 per week.

10 more days for gold rook (total 40), 20 more days (total 50) for maharajah

Fencer: 25¢ per day or a $1.00 a week. I'd still limit it to around two extra weeks maximum per six months. If my prices seem kind of low, it's because one would be paying to not use the service. As for the limit, I think it'd get to be too much if you had a lot of people just buy the whole year off and not have to make a move at all. If you're going to allow someone to do it without limitation, then I think you'll need to make it so the game or tournament can also be created to have a limit on vacation days. The way it is now, it's either the old way where you can use your vacation until it's used up or the new way where you can't use any vacation at all. It'd be nice to be able to allow a choice for the creator to make a limit of say 8 vacation days in a game or tournament. That way, a vacation could be taken, but someone in the tournament couldn't go for six weeks and leave everyone else hanging until the get back and play. Have the spread go from no vacation days all the way to available vacation days and anything in between.

2¢

Andre Faria: Good idea. When I receive the first payment of this type, I'll release it as an official price.

not least than 100 €...

I've received a request from several players if I could add a possibility to buy more vacation days than the membership level allows.
Well, since we have an option of games/tournaments without vacations, I think I can add this extra feature now. The question is, what would be the best price for one extra vacation day?

ScarletRose: LMAO, I wish there was one.

ScarletRose: LOL um um did I say that? I WISH I WOULD BE RICH! LOL They would be lining up in droves! LOL

Partica: You mean there might be a cure for PMS?? Wow!!.. oh shoot..someone please go tell Emma..

Czuch Chuckers: thx

efenaye: Yes, it is the first person to get 5 points wins. 1 point for a win 1/2 point for a tie. In the end it only counts like you won 1 game thought.

Czuch Chuckers: Okay well I am putting you back on my friends list and removing you from my blocked list! Doesn't seem to really do much!

Partica: It only prevents pms and inviting them to a game. I think, but you can stiull see when they are online, and never did leave the site either.

new to the site. I see some backgammon games that say 5 point game? explain plz

Well you have me on your blocked user list, but I can still see you are online from my friends list!

So what does this blocked user thing do anyway??? Just prevent PMs?

Also it shows me what you are doing on my blocked user list! LOL

Oh wait I can see you on the Who's online page! You must have logged off or something. And I can see the lil message under your name that shows what you are doing....hmmmmm....

Well I took you off my friends list and added you to the blocked list and I can't see you on the who is online page so........I do see your db messages though but I haven't seen the lil message underneath your name that says what you are doing...

bumble: ah, well there is the catch cause I cant have her on my friends and enemies at the same time and its cause she is on my friends list that I can see she is online even though she has me on enemies.

Plus if you are a board moderator and I go to your board it sows with a green dot if you are currently online, so at least for a moderator it wont work for them to put you on enemies cause you cvan still find out if they are here or not.

Czuch Chuckers: Try it with both of you on each other's blocked user lists as well. They might cancel each other out or something.

Partica: Sure... put me on you enemies list, is that what you mean?

Czuch Chuckers: Would you like to test it Czuch?

harley: Is that true? I know at least one person who has me on their enemies list and I can still see when they are online.... Im pretty sure.
