it's classic situation: give then one finger, soon they wil ask for the whole hand ... let's be honest ... we are not going to find a site we can talk, complain and actually talk to the owner ... everybody makes mistakes and Fencer is not immune from them ... but he'd done much more good things than bad for turn based gaming ... I played on many sites and always felt like being no more than my nick ... here I am Andy ... and many of us feel the same. Let's support this site with constructive ideas and make a list of the most important changes we would like to see ...
Pedro Martínez: ooops, I know what's my biggest "problem" ... I do not pay attention to all these details and features on this site ... this is why I better disappear from this board ...
I only care about vacation days when I am stuck playing the same player,,given new vacation days for no rason,,causing me to have 50 or more games and not being able to make a move on them for 6 to 8 months. I like vacation days,,We all have to get away for awhile,,,But if u give them to Anglestar,,then give them freely to all players then. Make it right or fix the mistake. It should be that simple. As far as bugs go, There will always be people who takes the rules of a game to a different level and change things that should not be changed. I will not go as far as cehating,but changing the rules of play for oneself while the rest of us play the way the site is made is unfair,vut its a part of gaming. Even in the old days playing with my sisters,they changed the rules while playing,,,now days,,they crack the code and play
Pedro Martínez: We should start to see his games timing out tomorrow. Currently Gammonator has some 20 games with the lady, all scheduled to time out within a week or so.
Time per move (?): 5 days 5 hours, standard vacation (16. March 2010, 01:40:57 is the last term before timeout for this move)
I've never quite understood how a 5-day game can have a timeout set 10 days ahead with only weekend days, and ok, an extra day to compensate potential timezones. Something is wrong there, but that has been around for a long time and will hopefully go away with the next version.
rabbitoid: It will go away. Herlock said it well - "give then one finger, soon they will ask for the whole hand". According to too many improvement requests, the vacation system became so complicated that not even me understood it all times. Simplicity is what we want to achieve.
rabbitoid: 6 & 7 March are weekends. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 are non-weekends (5 days), 13, 14 are weekends - it ought to time out at 15 March 5.00. Seems that if a game starts on a weekend, the player on the move gets 48 free hours, regardless of the time it starts (which explains the move before March 16, 01:40:57, which is 5d5h + 2*48h after the start time). I'd call that a bug.
BTW, if there would be a setting "no-weeked, vacation days-only", I would have created my tournaments with that setting.
AbigailII: You posted earlier about the problem of removing a person from ALL your tourneys. contact MadMonkey, I'm sure he can whip up a script to help you do that automatically.
IceQueen: Unlike the US, Europe hasn't changed its DST rules for quite some time (last time in 1996). DST starts 1AM UTC on the last Sunday of March, ending at 1AM UTC on the last Sunday of October. From 1996 to 2006, the US started DST one week later than Europe, ending in the same weekend. But several years of Bush policy had fuel prices rocketing, requiring a savings, hence an extension on both ends of DST in the US. In Europe, it's still winter - no DST here yet.
Gouwe gozer: It is very strange I am still one hour fast on Brainking and our clocks do not go forward untill the last weekend in March as Abigail said. It is not stopping me playing my games though so I have no clue why it is like that.
I hope your ghosts get the Most Haunted team Fencer, they have been disturbing the dead to long now. The G&G union (Ghosts and Ghouls) are planning a mass protest.
(V): I know you do not like it, BUT there is some scary stuff going on in that 'Old Town Hall' in Prague.
They are at different location in Prague for the next 4 nights...
The Most Haunted Live team will start their investigation of Prague at the historic and beautiful Old Town Hall. Sanctioned by King John of Luxembourg in the early 14th Century, the Old Town Hall, in Old Town Square became the epicentre of Prague and Bohemia.
It certainly looks a lovely and interesting place to visit....but don't think i will go out after dark there after watching this
Hi people! What kind of "rook" is this one? It seems like an angel, to me. But it's not right: everybody knows that I (ME, MYSELF) should be the angel... eheheheh
Bernice: If said person had one day of vacation left at midnight today, timed out on another game earlier today, by the time (s)he times out on another game today, (s)he has no days left (subtracted earlier today), but still gets the 24 hours extra (since you don't lose more than one day vacation each day).
Bernice: when vacation days are set they are substracted from the total of vacation days at once .. even when the vacation day itself still has to come
for example : suppose i have 10 vacation days left and i use them all for the following 2 weeks .. then you would see a total of 0 vacation days left on my profile .. but i still wont timeout the following 2 weeks
if i remember right you can see wether someone has set some vacation days in the future already .. i am not sure weither it shows it when 'today' is set as an vacation day though
something else that could have happened is when someone changes his/her weekend days .. the old setting might have been used (because it was still valid then) while you see the new setting when you look at it later (and in the time between someone has changed the setting)
Hrqls: I think that I won't wait for BrainKing 3.0 to be completed and release a new (simpler) vacation system much sooner (in a week?). That would solve all problems like this once and forever.
