Am i right in thinking that the Poker game is written in JavaScript ?
If so are there any plans to change any of the other games so they would run in it, hence stopping the need for page reloading. Would be a bonus for Logik i know that
I don't understand how these work.I'm playing a game against someone with 0 vacation days left,yet when they time out, another 24 hours is added to there time too move? Can anyone shed any light on this phenomenon?
Pedro Martínez: I didn't think of that.Thanks. But I just checked his days and it is set for Wednesday and Thursday? But i supposed that could have been reset yesterday.I also checked when the game started,it was 11th August 08.It's a 7 point backgammon race game with a 2 day limit.16 moves made so far.I'm no mathematician but that seems like a lot of vacation days used!
alanback: Odd indeed.As well as not being a mathematician I'm also not a psychologist.But this has got me wondering.This stalling is obviously being done on purpose so I'm thinking that perhaps there's some minute sense of power being derived from these tactics? To most of us this is a place to play games,nothing more,nothing less.But to a lesser mind, it may be all they have in life that gives them any sense of self importance.As i said i'm, no psychologist so don't really know how a human mind works and thinks.But surely this behaviour is more to be pitied than scolded.
Carl:unluckily that one you are playing is someone that shouldn;t be in brainking .. sorry .. i always make sure that if he signs in any tourney i am not there and he is banned from all my tourneis eventually he will need to move so push him to limits .. do not give him any break .. move as much as you can
Please remember that Hrqls has asked that talk of this specific person should not continue. Abuse of the vacation days policy and solutions in general are welcome topics.
Charles Martel: Well, a few have had suggestions, but I haven't seen any response from Fencer about it. So, I don't know
Fortunately, it's not a wide-spread problem. (As far as people buying memberships over and over again to get a few years' worth of vacation days in one year)
rod03801:I don't think it's so much a matter of abuse as of thoughtlessness. People should not be subject to criticism for following the rules of the site. The rules can always be changed if they don't suit the majority of users. However, deliberately delaying matches is rudeness, another term for which is unsportsmanlike behavior, and that can legitimately be criticized.
rod03801: I thought the talk was to limit the extra days you can get in one year, sure someone is entitled to buy as many memberships in a year as they please, but the talk as I have mentioned was a limit, maybe such as only an extra ten or fifteen days a year.
