i'm serious Stevie.....

yes, usng the spreadsheet, it would be a guaranteed win...

BIG BAD WOLF:

Stevie: me too. quite simple.

end of subject me' thinks. well done Kitti.

BIG BAD WOLF:

Walter Montego: great minds...

but until parameters are set, betting 19,000 in a minimum 19,000 has got guts.... if everyone plays to the rules set out (like in your games Czuck) Kitti would have been out first round. To me, it's like betting "1" whilst pre-empting other players will bet "0".

kitti: and i supported you....

nope.......

it'll be you... lol

think i've got this one in the bag too... eh Furbster... lol

i'm in that too!!! what u bettin then Maxxina????

tell us now pal,,,,, we cant stand the suspense....

Vikings: i've got the game in the bag.... LOL

Fencer - can we have a "submit and to next pond" button in Pond games?

998

BIG BAD WOLF: lol.

BIG BAD WOLF: mmmm i would recommend bidding 1000, as I know one persons strategy in there who would more than likely be bidding 999.

EdTrice: you PM'd me about a week ago for my e-mail address to send me the spreadsheet. What happeneed to it, I dont recall receiving it?

i'd ask why? but i see you dont want to so i'll drop it....

why? - is it difficult to do?

I must admit - I would agree with Thad, but can see Fencer's point of view. Can the game discussion in Pond be changed so that we can enter a comment after making a move? We can edit our bid, but not any posts, or add a post after a move.?

lol - i just knew you would pick up on that

good man.

Fencer - can you add an option so we can see previous round results? like you can click on previous moves in other games....

Ed, can you e-mail me the spreadsheet so I can have a look ? or is it top secret...

I'd take part as an honest independent player in a test run.

if you want to resign, you should bet "0". The game should ignore any bet of "0". Then all "0"'s fall into the pond and then the next lowest bet.

If anyone has run out of points, then everyone else plays as normal instead of the majority betting "1".

If the current bets are low in a Pond game - for example 70% are betting between 15 and say 40, what sense does it make to bet say 590? to get the 500 points. I'm just wondering what the strategy is behind this?

stop betting "1" then..... LOL

Fencer - if the starting points and bonus are not to become unbalanced, could the option for starting points be a drop down menu where you can only select - for example - 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 up to 20,000, and once you have selected this figure - the option for bonus points is dependent on your starting figure.

For example, if you chose 20,000 starting, the maximum bonus is 500. If you chose 10,000 starting, the maximum bonus you can chose would be 250 and so on.?

Fencer - can you take that to the BK.com board please... off topic... LOL.

Fencer - great work on the "signed up" and message when fall in" changes.

Hopefully Fencer will sort it. I'd rather it say inside the page which ones you have signed up for as you wont need to look thru them all. Even if that number said 2, I'd still have to trawl thru them all to see whoch one or two I havent signed for....

no mate - there's 15 pond games there. I went thru them all and I had already signed up for 12 of them, one i couldnt as it had reached 16 players max and 2 were new ones i have now signed up for.

Pauloaguia - good point.
BBW - yes = if anyone messes this up i'll be after them!!!

Fencer - 2 things....

1) - can we change the number of points to start with?

2) - when it says 15 next to ponds. can this be reduced to the number you have not signed up for? or even better - when you go into the ponds sign up - it tells you if you have already signed up for each pond game or not (to save me having to enter every one to see if I have already entered it.....

Cookie sorted the 21 day game. He's a bit thick the lad.

Anyone fancy a bash at the "quick" one I started.???

Fencer - can you add an option so that the creator of the tournament can specify the number of points to start with?
