redfrog: Ouch! Gimme a sec, some of just got here...

shagglbrox: Do you have a better counter offer? LOL

Counter offers and sibling rivalry that way please

MidnightMcMedic: all in good fun - thanks for the reality check....

MidnightMcMedic: my apologies m'lady! as you wish!

I've posted a prize tournament for HyperBackgammon,that will start on the 17th of March.All are welcome,pawns will need 10 open game slots as of that date to enter.Good luck to all and have fun! Your friend Mike:

Universal Eyes: Is this the same kind of "Prize" tournament you initially set up here .... http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=145 ...???

Then changed it from a Prize Pond?

Please can we have an explanation?

You can not give prizes out for ponds and no where does it stat there is a prize,it says the winners will be anounced upon winning.Bry you should read again i'm sure everyone else will.

Universal Eyes: It did before you changed it - just before it started. It also had a different description too from the one that is currently there.

Why can you not give prizes out for ponds? There is usually a winner?

This was what was originally created...

A Wham Bams first PRIZE TOURNAMENT!#1 takes It. Creator: No Quarter

Welcome to all,thanks for joining let's get toughter and fight against this CF ********

I know of at least 5 people who would confirm this was the case.

Ask Fencer it states no prizes for ponds,i'll talk to Fencer about it.

Universal Eyes: see below - before you changed it. I even PM'd you about the title.

Universal Eyes: That makes no sense. If you buy the membership you can give it to whoever you want, including someone who wins your pond.

There is no prizes for ponds.What part do you not understand.

I can confirm..I joined a pond offering a prize. It was described as Brys post below...but has changed AGTER the pond started

Universal Eyes: the part where it was advertised as being a Prize Pond(as per post below), up until you changed it then it started.

I'm sure some of the players in it perhaps signed up with it being a Prize Pond mwho otherwise may not have signed up.

What part of this do you not understand?

You know it really does not matter since it never said what the prize was - maybe the prize was "The pleasure of playing in his pond".

Now if it said something like "Prize for 6 month rook", or some other object - then I would agree that it is wrong to change it. But it never said what the prize was so it really does not matter.

It does matter (IMO). People have signed up for a prize tournament.

I signed up for that too, with the understanding it was a prize pond.

Prizes for tournaments should be paid for (if the prize is a membership) BEFORE its created.
Any other prizes offered by members can't be guaranteed by BrainKing.

Universal Eyes: So Fencer won't let you buy a membership and do whatever you want with it? That's not good business sense.

of course ue can buy a membership and give it away to the winner of the pond .. although it wont be done the same way as an ordinary prize tournament .. it can still be done (i guess ;))

as bbw said the exact prize was never mentioned

i also remember seeing a description like that

Grenv are you speaking for Fencer and stating he wont give me a membership,or do you usually tell hearsay and slander as well.

Maybe i should just stop giving gifts away,i know people earn them,but at the same time somebody paid for them,like 7 of them.

Universal Eyes: When a question mark (?) appears at the end of a sentence it is commonly known as a question. That means that you can answer yes or no. You appeared to be saying he wouldn't let you give away a membership.

Judging from your response you don't know the meaning of slander (or hearsay for that matter).

grenv:????????????????Then what is deflimation of character then

grenv: give up Grenv LOL

First you have to flimate the character, which has something to do with altering the font size. After that you can deflimate it. Hence deflimation.

its Lime that is in motion and can not hear LOL

Now you're just making stuff up! lol

dang...it wasnt me...it was the programme i was using. but its ok cos I told the site owner i was using it ;o)

Universal Eyes: OK. You clearly cannot grasp what we are saying.

Here's a solution you may be able to understand.

Cancel the Hyper Backgammon Prize Pond you have created, and apologise to anyone who has signed up.

Change the Pond description (Again) back to a Prize Pond and tell Fencer that the Membership/Prize you were offering for the Hyper BG tournament is in fact to be used for the Pond game you originally advertised as a Prize Pond.

Does this make sense to you?

Universal Eyes

I have had numerous "POND" prizes, that I have paid for myself...for example T-shirts, (and when people didnt want T-shirts, I supplied, a Table Runner and fancy Note paper etc, which Texas Toest won) I ran an Easter Hamper pond....I gave a consolation prise to the person that was knocked out first...namely Arctic Warrior...he has since received his prize. I have posted to Fencer a lovely embroidered T-shirt for Sinay. I have sent a Blue(requested color)T-shirt to Mike UK for his win....UMMMMMMM i could go on....OH Maxxine won the easter hamper...that has been sent.

I have honoured all my promises of a prize...Im just waiting for confirmation of receipt of prizes.

Any prize offered by myself has been honoured at great cost and UE...i also saw your "PRIZE" for ponds but knowing your past decided not to come into it.

I was the first to offer prizes in ponds and it hasnt at this stage been vetoed by Fencer.

Bry....hehehehe....now im confused LOLOL on your description so what chance UE????

Good Luck to all!

whats the easiest way of working out how many i have created ? . i can see the list of all tournaments i have been in but cant just find a way of showing only ones created by me .

Jason, when you click on 'tournaments' theres a link at the top that says 'show tournaments created by me only' - is that what you're after?

Jason: Yea, like harley said - tournament created by me - All (finished, running, etc...)

Then what I did was highlight my complete list and paste it into an excel spreadsheet. (Plus also copy-pasted fellowship tournaments into the spreadsheet.) Then I could easly look at how many lines there were to easly see how many tournaments I had created.

Jason: Taking a quick look at yours Jason, plus your 1 fellowship:

161 total tournaments

67 regular tournaments
94 fellowship tournaments

thanks bbw and harley ;)

Starts tonight!! Anyone in the Fellowship or anyone who would like to join and play in Brave Eagles 10X10... please send a request to sarok!

Be quick.. tourny starts at 23:00 cet!!

Thank you very much for signing up!! :-)
