I noticed it when first I read it.. just took me that long to get here. :) *edit* Except that I first read it as MadMnokey and was thinking a mad monkey on Keryokee<sp?> drugs. ;)

Reminder: The AntiSocials MidMay Open is due to start in a couple days and we are still sadly lacking in players. :'( C'mon peeps.. There surely are more Atomic Anti players out there. ;)

MadMnonkey? Erm.. interesting, but....

All the Anti games and Atomic Chess, just as we play in the AntiSocials fellowship, only this time open to the whole Brainking famdamly. ;)

excuse me?

AntiSocialites, to the clubhouse, please. The next Anticheckers tournament is about to start. We have 13 members now (more welcome!), surely we can get more than 4 in the tournament! (I think some of you need to add the board to your favs. ;)

Just ooc, does anyone play dark chess 'seriously'.. as in chess-serious, that is? I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the game. I think it's great fun, but to me it's rather more on par with battleboats than chess. ;) I was just curious to other views.

I think he may have been addressing LJ and his listing further down, which kinda sparked the convo again. ;) I can't see anything in your or my post which should be considered 'complaining'... just suggesting so that others can have less to complain about. ;)

Erm.. I'm glad you like my idea. All four(?) times. :)

<Walter: "It'd be nice if there was a speed rating or moves per day average for each player. Then a player or tournament director could also set a range if they desired,..."

This isn't a bad idea, but I'd rather see it formed from an average percent of time-limit perspective. Yes, I know that sounds confusing, I'll be taking individual questions later in my tent. Meanwhile let me see if I can somewhat explain.

If a person is playing in many different games and tournaments with many different time limits (and doesn't always have time to live on the computer), it's only natural they will play the shorter times quicker, and more often. So if a player plays his five-day tournaments within three days, his 15-day games within 10 days, etc, he's using roughly 60% of his time limits. So if you set up a tournament with a seven-day limit, and you want people to move within 2 or 3 days, you only allow people who take an average of 20% (or less) of their time limit. That way you have that 'buffer' of time that folks go on about so that 'if anything happens' people will still have 7 days to make the move, but most will be taking it earlier.

The only problem is, all this is a lot of coding and data-storage that I don't know if Fencer can or wants to deal with. ;>

AD: And that's exactly what I thought was in bad taste. ;)

That was just in completely bad taste, LJ.

The delete option isn't all bad. Sometimes we say things in the heat of anger and immediately regret them (right -after- hitting send). An immediate delete in such cases can be a lifesaver. But, once a post has replies, deleting single posts and leaving replies to the thread is just ill-mannered, IMHO.

If the boards were somehow threaded, it might be easier for Fencer to implement something like that: Allow deletion by creator only up until a reply is made. Hrm...

How convenient. :/

Just because you can? Didn't say you couldn't, but that doesn't mean everyone can. The computer could have been donated, or could have been purchased in a time when finacial condition was sunnier. Or even.. *gasp* that pawn might play from a library!

Andersp, you have a -lot- to learn about life.

Linda: Sorry. I thought I'd seen it in the description. Must have been from one of your early posts somewhere. The point, of course, was that the membership going to pawns was pretty well advertised. :/

The "(applies only to pawns)" must have been erased then. :/ It was stated from the beginning of the section winners concept that only pawns were eligible, but others could donate theirs to their favourite pawn.

There were exceptions made for the benefit tournament(s).

<Then I need to hit the feature request board. :>

*blinks* Then what's the point? Is there a two-round cap or something?

Are not tournaments supposed to go on until there is only one winner of each game type?

I wanted to congratulate alesh and gasper for winning (a tie) round 2 of Backgammon in the Brotherly Love (Beginners) tournament, whom I assumed would be going to round three, but I see no 'start next round' button??
