<< < 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 > >> 19. February 2005, 04:25:47 LMAO this isnt about other problems BBW...this is about tourny frustrations 19. February 2005, 04:27:49 oooooooooooops wrong board last post...so deleted 19. February 2005, 04:31:37 Subject: Re:  grenv: (And Stevie) I am also frustrated by players who join tournaments and won't move. I am currenltly playing in a "fast" Hyperbackgammon tournament, and most games have finished - it has been running 6 days. But ONE player HAS NOT MADE A SINGLE MOVE YET!! WHy would she enter the tournament? It is very frustrating. Can we PLEASE eliminate automatic vacations for tournaments so that selfish players cannot make 1 week tournaments stretch out ibnto boring three month affairs!! PLEASE! 19. February 2005, 04:39:32  Stevie - I deleted your last post - if you have a problem with someone, take it up with them. 19. February 2005, 04:45:39  not only that...remember the jungle team tourney??? should be finished, right? after 3/4 months? WRONG...one player there doesn't even have a RATING yet. 19. February 2005, 05:00:11 Subject: tounaments how do i get on tournaments i like battleship plus.I am new on this site. 19. February 2005, 05:02:33 Subject: Re: tounaments 19. February 2005, 11:03:42 Subject: Re: tounaments aere: Or another benefit of being a paid member, you can enter as many tournaments and play as many games as you want. 19. February 2005, 19:54:44 Subject: Re: tounaments MidnightMcMedic: What the problem is is that paid memebers enter too many tournaments, play as many games as they want, but DON'T play as many games as they have signed up for, thus frustrating both paid AND unpaid members! 19. February 2005, 21:43:22 Subject: People who sign up and don't play There was a discussion some time ago about having a tournament option with no vacation days and no automatic vacations. Has there been any progress on making this an option? It would certainly eliminate a lot of the gripes here, and those of us who like to play a few fast games would not be frustrated with long tedious boring dull tournaments (especially hyperbackgammn!) which go on for weeks and weeks, when 90% of the games are finished in a couple of days. 19. February 2005, 23:17:52 Subject: Re: jaha: 30 days / move? Most tourbnaments won't be over for many years. You must be relatively young.
 20. February 2005, 00:04:42 Subject: Re: People who sign up and don't play pgt: Maybe create a tournament and just invite people you know are not going on vacation or who are faster movers. It is just a thought since the other option is not available at this time. 20. February 2005, 00:11:14 Subject: Re: Re: grenv: Of course. People will use all the 30 days for every move. Gee, how young and stupid I feel now. 20. February 2005, 00:22:16 Subject: Re: Re: jaha: Some people will, and it only takes one to drag it on to infinite. Just a friendly warning that's all.  20. February 2005, 00:26:03 Subject: Re: Re:  jaha: I signed up for the checkers and will move everytime I see a red number. LOL 20. February 2005, 00:29:05 Subject: Re: Re: grenv: It's meant for people like me who just wants to get a few games started with a long time limit. If you prefer shorter time limits, or want to see the result of a tournament as quickly as possible, then don't join. There are plenty of tournaments with time limits suiting your taste. 20. February 2005, 00:30:33 Subject: Re: Re: Purple: That's fine with me. :) 20. February 2005, 00:44:17 Subject: Re: People who sign up and don't play MidnightMcMedic: I have already run three "invitation only" tournaments in three weeks - all of which have finished within a few days. It's a very satisfying way of playing a tournament. It would just be nice to be able to play other people, and when the tournament is advertisesd as "1-day per move", not have players with 500 or so open games join the tournament and use the "automatic vacation" feature when they don't, won't, or can't move once a day like everybody else! 20. February 2005, 05:15:55 Subject: Hyper Tournament http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=7518&trnst=0
This tournament is for players who are currently playing less than 60 games, and who PROMISE to make at least one move per day!!! 20. February 2005, 19:41:00  It must be nice to be able to play as long as you want per day. Maybe I should not even play any games since I work long days at 2 jobs and then because I like to have a clean house, spend another couple of hours trying to wash, cook & clean. I guess I am very selfish to want to play in a tournament that was set up for 1 week moves and then actually think I should take a week between moves.
and then Godforbid I get sick as I was for the last month. *shakes head in dismay* 20. February 2005, 19:43:55 Subject: Re: Eriisa: hiya :o)
the diference is..that if you are doing those things...you are not online :o) If you are online you do play your games :o) 20. February 2005, 19:58:32 Subject: Re: Eriisa: Also you're not playing 1000 games. I am busy too, but rarely have more than 40 games going, so I can keep up. 20. February 2005, 19:59:44 Stevie: Not all the time, by the time I read the 4 or 5 boards I try to keep up with... well, that can take a hour or so when you got 100 flame posts to wade through (per board, that is) 20. February 2005, 20:01:52 just to further that thought, what I meant for myself is that, as a Glob, I feel there are a few boards that its as important for me to keep up with, as it is to keep up with the games. You'll notice that I rarely play 1, 2 or 3 day games, because I know its difficult for me to keep up. 20. February 2005, 20:02:14 I constantly get reminded its a game site not chat site...so I tend to play first then read/chat LOL 20. February 2005, 20:04:46 LOL, I'm one of the first to say it too! 20. February 2005, 21:10:47 Subject: Re: My Hyper Tournament pgt: Of the five people who signed up, two have been removed from the tournament because they could not read the rules. (No more than 60 current games) 20. February 2005, 23:51:56 Modified by MidnightMcMedic (20. February 2005, 23:52:29) Back to tournament discussion please

I don't see it listed anymore, and being new to this site, I don't know what happens next after you sign up for a tournament. Thanks. - Billmo 23. February 2005, 16:38:45 Subject: Re: Tournament Billmo8: That tournament is currently in the "waiting" stage - which basicly means it should start in the next hour.
It looks like you are signed up so in an hour or so, games from this tournament should show up for you. Good Luck! 23. February 2005, 16:50:08 Subject: Re: Tournament Billmo8: I just got an message from fencer stating that it has been created and should begin within an hour... ummmmm..... just like BBW said..... :) 23. February 2005, 16:54:21 Subject: Re: Tournament  redfrog: It is automatically generated. I wouldn't bother to send so many messages personally :-) 23. February 2005, 17:19:32 Subject: Re: Tournament Fencer: of course not - silly me ...... 23. February 2005, 17:23:08 Subject: Re: Tournament Billmo8: I've received several *automated* messages from the computer posing as fencer that stated the tourney was created and should start within an hour, and then that it had started... :) Good Luck to all who joined.... (except shagglbrox my brother - I'm thinking about offering an extra prize to the player with the most wins against him and if they cause his elimination..) 23. February 2005, 19:49:51 Subject: Re: Tournament redfrog: LOL WooHoo! Good Luck all fellow pente addicts! Lets whip up on the brother for the extra prize! LOL  23. February 2005, 22:46:15 Subject: Re: Tournament redfrog: You've put a contract out on your brother? Now there's a thought...  24. February 2005, 00:36:24 Subject: Re: Tournament ceridwen: a bounty if you will.....  24. February 2005, 04:52:40 Subject: Re: Tournament redfrog: Finally gave up on beating me yourself, eh frog? Poor guy. Everybody, take it easy on the frog, he's had a tough run lately. (oh, and don't think I don't see you taking sides, Partica!) 24. February 2005, 05:02:15 Subject: Re: Tournament shagglbrox: Yes Yes - my whole life spent in your shadow... 
I understand that the tourny itself will give you some good brainking experience, but until then, isnt there an "unrated" board you could hang out on?  24. February 2005, 05:03:10 Subject: Re: Tournament Partica: hey Q - maybe we should be careful - you should hear the noises when he stubs a toe.... << < 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 > >> |
