reza: I know you like your english helped. The correct word would be says, not say....

Now we are going to start with the same stuff that you did with me in the flame pit Stevie and Lamby on here I see. What I said was jokes. I posted a public apology in The Flame Pit for all to see. Neither one of you know me and therefore you don't seem to be able to tell when I am joking or not. I told you I was, and I apologized for making anyone upset. I didn't intend to.

Lamby:
so may be worth showing a Glob or Fencer what he is saying.. as the same player has said very sick stuff to others in game also

Lamby: And perhaps you can try to avoid reading what he say .....

heavenlyemma: If it's a match already in progress or you end up paired with that player in a tournament you really haven't the option not to play him... unless you resign, but it's unfair to have to resign in a game because of missconduct from your opponent.

Lamby: Don't play him. Sinple.

Fencer: I have a player on block as he is abusing & harassing me with foul language & insults in our game. Even though I have him on block I can still see his posts........is there any way I can hide what he is saying to me?

Merry Christmas

BIG BAD WOLF: Thats what I thought. Maybe it a feature request, but it seems to me it would be better to just not let the game times move for 24 hours instead of leting them go to zero and time out right after midnight in czech time. Just my 2 cents, as it wont effect me either way.

Czuch Chuckers: I believe for site holidays, the time out function is just turned off. So games still count down, and I believe go into negative time - and then once the site is off of it's site holiday, any game with below 0 will be timed out.

If I understand correctly, even games marked as "no days off" will also not time out during this time.

I guess I never noticed before, but hwen there is a site holiday, for example, shouldnt the times of games just stop going down, or even have 24 hours added to them, instead of just going down, possibly into negative time where they will time out soon after the holiday has finished?

It seems that if I make a move and then leave the site with a 1 day game, and the next day is a site holiday, and my opponent comes on and mover after I am gone, then I should be able to come back the day after the holiday and not have my game timed out. As it is now, I leave and my game times down to zero during the holiday and then times out soon after the holiday is over?

Do I understand this correcty? I am probably just confused on the facts of this one...

Eriisa: All games with the Fischer's clock are with a red dot.

Depends on the setting of the fischer game, I think. If its no days off, etc.... then auto-vacation won't work.

Eriisa: Okay thanks again!

The auto vacation doesnt apply to fischer games does it?

I just looked at the calendar on the Settings page. The holiday covers Sat, Sun & Mon.

Thanks!
Merry christmas all!

shortly after midnight I believe, but don't forget about auto vacation

Vikings: so that game will time out at midnight czech time if there is no move?

Czuch Chuckers: correct

Eriisa: oh... so doesnt it put more time on a game intead of going negative?

Czuch Chuckers: Today is a site holiday.

Czuch Chuckers: Tis the Season.. I think This will be the last time we can count on Christmas.. ;)

Is there a reason that someone has -3 hours on a game they are playing with me? Has game time been suspended or something?

Just want to say a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you all and your families.
Have a great time

Vikings: LOL. And I'd like to order all sort sof things in a less than random (database id) fashion.

Fencer and sorting things... there's something awry there that I don't understand.

I'd like to organise my favorite boards in the order of say..............................................
...........my favorite boards

Yaaaay. It worked.

Stevie: Thanks. That makes sense. Runs to go make Debate Club bold.

Its cos it has an arrow at the start of it to make it bold

whatdidyousay: mine too...

Why is my Favourite Boards list in alphabetical order with one glaring exception? "Flame Pit" does not come before "Debate Club" alphabetically, but it is in my favourite boards list that way.

Ok, let us get back to the reasons for this board please rather than discussing an individual. Thanks.

playBunny: you can call it poor sportsmanship but it is within the rules, unfortunatly, therefore it is not cheating,

emmett: he will put you on hide and ignore your request.

Czuch Chuckers: Nope. In this instance it means sick in the head. But the result of his pathology is cheating behaviour, at least as far as I'm concerned.

playBunny: Pathalogical = cheating?

Czuch Chuckers: So if you invited 20 people to an 11-hour match and 19 of them timed out, would you continue to issue that sort of invitation or would you be dissatisfied with that kind of "victory"?

We're talking about someone who is consistent is using this method. This is not a normal person but someone with a pathology of some sort. How can you say it's not cheating?

playBunny: That its not cheating, and it is just a couple of the problems with a turn based game site.

Czuch Chuckers: And what you are saying is....?

playBunny: Im not saying that....

Czuch Chuckers: Are you saying you'd be happy to accept this guy's invitation and have him wait until you went to bed or work and then suck your points though a timeout?

Andre Faria: Problems with a turn based site...

Czuch Chuckers: Like talking about bets at the ponds is not cheating...

Pythagoras: It surley isnt cheating, and should not upset anyone anymore than playing a 21 day game to the full 21 days every move is completely acceptable....

Pythagoras: Want some beans? :P

Andre Faria: Good!

We could have associated to every players profile, some rankings given by other players in such attributes like kindness, sportmanship, quicknes, and so on...

Emmett, Pythagoras: Wise words but they're heading down the path of off-topic,

One of his best is:
"Numbers inevitably will lead a person down the path of reason"

Pythagoras: "Write in the sand the flaws of your friend."
-Pythagoras of Samos

playBunny: Gotcha. I didn't look at it all. I got caught by taking a game under 12 hours per move once an timed out on it, getting a loss. Im more careful on the games I take now.
