rod03801: Thank you for your prompt reply! My question was not about the tournament creator, but rarher about the site promoting racist policies through Server News! Does the site owner(s) have any principles on the promotion of racist policies within the site?
Im a goodun: Yes, a tournament creator can set up whatever parameters they want for their tournament. So, it would be perfectly acceptable to do that. Why not become a paid member and do just that? :-)
Is it not a bit racist to advertise a prize, available to players from one country only?
Would it also be acceptable to site policy to promote a prize available to everyone EXCEPT Czechs??
Czuch Chuckers: oh i agree it souldnt kick in if they are here,i cant imagine being here and not playing?..LOL
i go mad at home if i cant get here at least........most of the day!..heheee!
Niki: Ohhhh thanks! That is hardly $13,000 dollars now is it! Actually it is less than $45 dollars donation per person. I wonder who has given the most money to Brainking for memberships? I am sure there must be many more people who deserve "endless gratitude" if all it takes is a $45 dollar donation?
Dont get me wrong.... it is far more than I will likely ever give, but what about all the other people who have given their hard earned money in donation to Brainking and never recieved any recognition in the server news for 'endless gratitude'? I may be wrong (again) but it seems like there are probably many people who deserve such an honor wo have pledged far more money to Brainking?
Now I see it says $13,000 not $15,000 and it is "membership value" whatever that means... It still sounds like you got $13,000 though... maybe you will clairify this for me/us?
Fencer: Whoops! My bad! I thought the server news said that $15,000 had been given to Brainking in exchange for a membership! That would certainly help buy that new server..... I guess I just misread the news or something, sorry :)
Tulip: I dont think anybody disagrees with autovacation to kick in when we are not online here. But Stevies point is ( and many agree) that if you are online here autovacation option should not be kicked in for you. Now if you should have a day set as a vacation day and happen to still get online, then your vacation day should still be used if needed.
I think that normal games should maybe be allowed to take advantage of this rule, but a tournament?? Planned hoildays...YES but not technical issues, or things like that? You would not get conditions like that in a real tournament?
i play on an NTL box through my tv,its well known as a lousy server.
last year i timed out in 24 games as i couldnt get on-line for over 3 days.
i now have auto vacation set in case it happens again.
NTL was off for nearly a week last month and i was glad of the auto feature as it saved my games
Aragon:some players will be on site but not move a game, hence auto vacation kicks in and delays a game. i feel if a player is on site and times out..it should be just that, a time out
Aragon, do you know about auto-vacation?
Also, the system updates every hour (or so) so if that game will time out, it will happen in the next hour.
Unless they have auto vacation on.
Bernice, you are fully aware of why I had to put you on enemies. I'll remove you now, to receive questions only. For the record, you're the only person on my enemies list.
BerniceC: ok, the offer stands if you decide you want to do that. I won't abuse your trust. And at least you can be sure they will get to harley if you send them to me and you can be sure I won't tell Eriisa what you asked!
baddessi: ROFL...hehehe....I already thought of sending them to Eriisa, and getting her to send them on my behalf....Thanks for the offer tho....I will wait and see what happens ROFLMBO
BerniceC: send them in a PM to harley : )
She collects all the questions, sends them to Eriisa to answer and then posts the completed interview.
I'm working on my list too!
You should know how it works by now!
Send me any question you'd like to have included in Eriisa's interview. State if its ok to put your name with your question. Send as many or as few as you like, and any question you like! Easy as that!
Is something weird going on? A pond game was due to be ready for a new turn 1 hour and 40 minutes ago, and for some reason wont go into the games waiting to be played ?
Czuch Chuckers: I am not to sure... but when you send it ask if it is Ok how you would like... Most pics that are on fellowship pages are close in size to yours... if that is the range that you want it...
