I modified it to add flaming LMAO
I couldnt give two hoots if you are getting tired of me whinging. The only problem i have is I say what others think and dont say. So looks like its just me. But it isnt. Whereas the likes of you, you say what you think the boss man wants you to say. cant get much lower can you

Anyway LJ
This was only a heated discusion. Nothing more, two sides getting their opinions across.
Until you came on

up your pimple purple head

How would you know Ughaibu?

but who would keep the records though? Thats a lot of work for the players to do really

Somehow I think it will be a no do it anyways

vacation days up. Cause I may have to be gone with my daughter and for some reason I don't have to go, u say that is abuse?

Well, if you are using auto-vacation and you end up not having to go, none of your games should "time out", and therefore no vacation days should be used.

No, because you would obviously not be onsite :o)

I doubt "most" people are "tired of listening to steve whine"... You always do that. You feel a certain way, and try to make it sound like a majority feels the same, even though you have no idea, LJ... There is NO reason for Stevie to be banned! (not this time anyways.. LOL!) :-P

Come on Ug....RU flurting with me again? :)
I miss our debates. No, really...
Sorry you had to agree with me.
I must have been bored, to be so repetative.

I didn't know vacation time was for emergency's.

It is the auto vacation that is for "emergencies" Sky... If it is not an emergency then one can use the vacations normally.

ok.

How does the auto vacation know it's an emergency LOL.

apparently timing out is an emergency ;)

LMAO

So that's what all the huffy is about LOL

I think we can do without it since some ppl are misusing it

But as Steve pointed out, it's already in motion

I was looking through the team tournaments, and I seen 3 tournaments which will not have enough teams to start.

Those tournaments of less-popular games are:

Gothic Chess

Cylinder Chess

Parachute Checkers

If you are able to play in team tournaments, and any of those games look interesting to you - Check with your fellowships to teams to join, or join a new fellowship looking for team members.

Here are a few fellowships that I know of that are looking for players for these tournaments:

HOME Fellowship - I know looking for both Cylinder Chess & Gothic Chess

Monkey Madhouse - Looking for players for all 3 games

The Zoo - Also looking for players for all 3 games.

If other fellowship are looking, please let us know. If you are a player, feel free to join. Hopefully we can get enough teams to start these tournaments!

HOME needs the following number of players...

Jungle - 3
Cylinder chess - 3
Gothic chess - 2
Alquerque - 2

Reminder to all there are two prize tournament for backgammon,with all games included,one for each fellowship and everyone is welcome needing more player in all games have a look and pick your preference so all games will have a tournament or as many as feasable.Thanks your friend Mike :o)

I set up a Tourney for Fast Espionage. It will be a short one cause only 6 people can sign up which means only 3 people per section max. Try it out and lets have fun!

Fast Espionage Quickly

***edited the link***

Fencer - for the 3 or so Team Tournament which do not have enough teams, what will happen to those?

they will wait unstarted until enough teams sign up :o) I asked this one before

Please tell me, how the groups was built in this torunament - following after the strength of the player not only i suppose.
Which rating will be used? Because when I calculate with the actual rating the rank the groups must be built in another way. So what is teh way to build the groups?
(I thought I will be in the group with Ed Trice but was a little bit disappointed when i saw that i am not in his group - but as i told i calculated after rating rank).
So what?

First group:
highest ranked
4th highest
5th higest
8th highest

Second Group:
2nd highest ranked
3rd highest
6th highest
7th highest

ok, but seems to be a little bit strange to me.

It's a way to spread out the highest ranked players. I'll explain it this way which should make a little more since. (Example using 4 sections)

So first put the highest ranked player in section #1,
2nd highest in Section #2,
3rd highest in Section #3
4th highest in Section #4

At this point you start to go backwards.

5th highest in Section #4,
6th highest in Section #3,
7th highest in Section #2,
8th highest in Section #1,

... and again, in the other direction.

9th highest in Section #1
10th highest in Section #2
11th highest in Section #3
12th highest in Section #4
... and so on.

Hopefully that will make more since seeing it when it applies to more section. With only 2 sections, it does look a little strange.

There is an apparent "studder" in the second section when seeding the players.

Section 1 gets seed #1

Section 2 gets seed #2
Section 2 gets seed #3

Section 1 gets seed #4
Section 1 gets seed #5

then it alternates. It's a good system which promotes competition to the maximum.

Again BBW you make perfectly good sense to my knowledge,sounds great and perfect as usual,not enough people give you the credit you deserve for your intellegence and wisdom.Your friend Mike.:o)

I can feel the love in the air LMAO

Yeah like you need to listen to (Air Supply) LMAO

Sorry, BBW, I'm leaving that post by UE, although off-topic. The embarrassment content alone is priceless!

Now enough of the love-in and back to tournaments. :)

Steve started,i defend myself sorry my captain of nackgammon tournament,that is not off topic,why did you pick me? What does love in the air have to do with tournaments?

parlez en anglais svp

LOL

No harm done, UE. I was just pulling BBW's leg.
I'm not that strict as not to allow a few posts of good-humoured banter occcassionally - heck, I'm one of the culprits!

Any good idea for anti chess team tournament name?

"Anti-Kasparov" ? "No, Anti-mate" ... "Ultimate Antimate" ! :-))

"deep boredom"

"Take my pieces - i dont want them !!" applies to me in any version of chess anyway ROFL

Or "eat me if you can"? :-D

antidisestablishmentarianism? Perhaps not.
