ketchuplover:That might be what's needed for backgammon tournies here. Some of us already use memorized Match Equity Tables. We may need to combine them with actuarial tables, to account for the differential likelihood of the players passing away during the events.
Purple: I don't see it :( Are you sure it's the right name? profile for stardust: Name: Stardust Membership: Guest Status Joined: 19 October 2003 Last Play: 14 January 2004 one finished game, no current games
ketchuplover: If you play there pull up Stardusts name and it is her only game. Badger could declare it a draw but I think she is preserving it as a museum piece. lol
There is a checker game that has lasted over 9 years between Stardust and 3334. Insanity..it is a mathamatical draw but they are both too stubborn to end it.
Fencer: I didn't mean that. Have a look at GT, any game. There, when you click on a previous move, it displays the timestamp for that move. Here the timestamp displayed is always that of the last move in the game.
Gammonator: 5 wins match with like, 15 or so sections??? No wonder it's been going on for 6 years! lol Why would anyone design a tournament that would take so long? I don't get it. :P
I have a question about an old trny I am in and not sure what board or dicussion group to put it in. Its an old trny that has not had a move in it since aug of 2007. I am trying to get rid of all my trnys and I have very few left. This is one of them? Any ideas?
Its Stingy's gameroom Dark Battleboats started in May of 2007
Thom27: I've found a small bug that causes the list to be empty if you have no friends here. It will be fixed soon. In the meantime, adding at least one friend should be a temporary workaround.
El Cid: If I try with your ongoing games list, it works, but not with my own games. When I click on the "opponent" selection box, there is only a line displayed: ----------
I switched it off some weeks ago. The smileys dissapeared not immediately but after some days. About a week ago I switched them on again, but they are not yet displayed.
If they are switched off, there should be at least the number of the smiley displayed, and not just nothing.
Filtering the list of one's ongoing games by opponent does not work also, since some months.
Looking at the date the person joined BrainKing, the date he last logged in, and the number of moves played would seem to make this a slam dunk to have the game voided.
Iamon lyme: From the FAQ's : 3.1.2) I play a game with no time control and my opponent stopped moving, so it seems that the game will never finish. What can I do now?
If it is really clear that your opponent will not play the game anymore (for instance, he stopped logging in BrainKing 2 months ago), please send a message to the administrators and the game will be deleted. However, it is recommended to think twice before accepting a game invitation with no time limit and that's why a warning in bold red letters is displayed at the game invitation page, so you always play such a game at your own risk.
Thanks for the draw info, I suspected it might be something like that.
I have another question. I'm playing someone who tells me one of her games has no time limit, and her opponent stopped making moves over a year ago. Can she get an administrator to step in to void the game? I would like to know too, if something like this ever happens to me in an obviously drawn game that never seems to end.
