Subject: Team tournaments

I know that if you have a green dot by the tournament means you are in it, but what does a red dot mean?
The page shows about three of them on some tournaments

BIG BAD WOLF:That is exactly what happened. I didn't have access to the internet and even my vacation days ran out. Harley lent me some of hers, but they didn't suffice either and I resigned all the games that hadn't already timed out in and asked Fencer if I could have a new account. I thenforth have refused all invitations to new games and am just finishing the backgammon games in a prize tourny. I need the prize for a friend.

Subject: Re:

Czuch Czuckers: I don't know the whole story - but with his old account, he lost access to BrainKing for a while (over a month?) and timed out on a lot of games - so when he came back, he wanted to start fresh without all the timed-out loses. I believe he only plays the "expired" account to finish the games which did not time out, but has not started any new games with that account. Again, don't know the exact story, but that is what I know.

Subject: Re:

furbster: It looks that way now, but both accounts definitely overlapped for a long period of time! Maybe playing one one account when experimenting on a game or whatever, and on another one to play for serious ratings????

8. January 2007, 20:18:01

furbster

I think he is finishing his games on the other name, and using the new one to play.

8. January 2007, 20:16:53

Well, I have done some of my own research, and indeed it looks like Reza had two accounts going at the same time! Both used for playing games, as well as other activities.... I have noticed for example that his "expired" profile has a ponds rating of 2193, not very high as far as pond ratings go, yet his now active pond rating is at 2444, high enough to place him at 14th in the rankings!

It is disconcerting to say the least, and leads us to wonder if other people are pulling the same type of "scam"?

8. January 2007, 19:57:27

I am confused.... (I know, shocker huh?)

The messages I have from Reza in my inbox all have his name changed to "expired", and the profile for this user says it is him, but that he will not use that one after his games are finished. Yet he still has his "other" king reza profile as well??? Can anyone explain to me what happened, or what is going on? Did he have two king reza accounts at the same time? I know some people have been allowed to have other accounts, but those were not used for game playing purposes!

8. January 2007, 16:17:05

To look at someones finished games.... just click on their profile and click on the link for finished games then the link for the specific game you want to see??? I try it like this and I dont get a list of their games??? What am I doing wrong?

I knew that about the rankings lists, but all of my "red" dates are for games that I played less than four of. I just never noticed that the date and time turned red on "My profile", "Finished games".
Thank you everyone, I have a thorough understanding now :)

I've noticed little red dates and times in brackets to the right of finished games on "My profile". Does that indicate that I haven't played a certain type of game for a long time? I must have missed that update. Do records of games ever delete, like, for example, if a game was tried once two years ago...?

Subject: Re:

joshi tm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_bond

There is a list which list the 21 movies. Right under the list, it also mentiones 2 movies not on the list

Casino Royale (1967 version) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_Royale_%281967_film%29

Never Say Never Again (1983) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Say_Never_Again

Both are considered "unofficial" Bond movies because they are non-EON Bond films produced

Of course if Fencer needs some more names, could also use the names of the 6 bonds:
* Sir Sean Connery (1962–1967; 1971)
* George Lazenby (1969)
* Sir Roger Moore (1973–1985)
* Timothy Dalton (1987–1989)
* Pierce Brosnan (1995–2002)
* Daniel Craig (2006–present)
