How many vacation days does UE have left?

Chessmaster1000: It means that the overloaded database server performed a rollback of the transaction. It makes no harm, it just happens, rarely. Faster hardware can solve it.
BBW: Good point.

Looking at the menu list, I think you could reduce some of them.

For example - I would stick "Winners" and "Ratings" both under "Statistics. (Also would be nice if the link to the daily move leader was also in Statistics.

"Brains" can probable be stuck in the paid membership area. I would say move "Store" and "Support us" both into the Paid membership section, but since we would like more support - those should stay separate.

Anyway, that will leave room for the pond game to be listed under the "Team tournaments" area, and the Interviews can be listed... um... somewhere.

Help & FAQ are similar - maybe combine both into 1 section.

Plus depending on how long before Polls or Search will be used for anything useful, those can be removed... and added later if needed. (And not too much trouble)

I played before 1 hour a move in one game while i had around 19 hours to play it, i played the move and logged off, but know i have entrered again the move hasn't been played and it said i have still 17 hours to play it.........I'm 100% sure i played the move so what happened...........?

Actually I found it more interesting that I did not even notice the mistake. "Do you have any pets - No, I don't like to read" :-)

Actually i probable have a copy here in my mail outbox.

I'll fix it tomorrow.

Don't worry, BBW, I still have a copy of your interview, I'll send it to Fencer again.

Is there a space for it?

Ah yes - there it is. But i'd still like to see them in the left or top menu :-)

I hid the server news item already. There is now a link just to the left of Date and Time (if using column format).

Yes - that is the server news. However, when a new server news is written, or if i ever decide to hide it, it'll be gone forever! (or until I go to the Server News Discussion Board and find it from there) lol

Kevin, if I click on my Main Page link in the menu, I see a link to the pond game at the top of my main page. Does it show up there on yours, too?

I also noticed (just now) the only link to Interviews is just above this board, and I cannot find a link to that pond game (except in the server news). Could these both be placed in the left (or top with row layout) menu please? :-)

A detail :-)

The new game - Don't need BKR's for it, but would love to see cool stats kept for it. (Like average amount of time to fall in the pond, or average first bet, etc.....)

Also my interview: I did not even notice this until mrloupcity just pointed it out to me, but 2 questions got mixed into 1.

Q. Do you own any pets? Can you tell us what they are and their names?

A. nope, do not like to read. Only thing I really read are some computer/networking magazines

(The question about what do I read is missing, and the answer about no pets except for my son or something like that is missing.) I'll have to check my home computer, which is down right now - will be reloading it tonight. Fun Fun. :-(

No weekend days.

what about weekend days ?

Btw, I hope that there are no holidays for this game. Otherwise it wouldn't make any sence...

You know of course that if this game has an enigmatic form, THEN the same game, with the exception of announcing any players play(how many points every player played) at the end of the turn, will create a totally different game that its enigmatic nature will be much higher and it will be based more on luck.
Now by knowing how much points every player has in any move, some mathematics can be applied to ensure in some cases "perfect play".

The "" at the perfect play have to be put, since there is no perfect play when randomness comes to play....This game is not a perfect-information-game, so there is no perfect play in general.

Chessmaster1000: I see. Of course, nobody knows other players' moves until the round is finished.

Well i don't mean that. I know that what you are saying will happen, i just mean until a move will end (for example move 4), noone can't see what other players play AT THIS move. Of course the validity of this is obvious, but i want to be sure.......

Hrqls: It will be displayed on the game page.

do you have to keep track of what everyone has left .. or is there a list of that as well ?

Luke: Yes.

Chessmaster2000: After a round is finished, everyone can see how many points each player used, who was kicked out etc. It would be no fun if you could see only your own score.

if ALL players use the same amount will ALL drop out?

Hrqls (15:05): Yep.

can we place bets on how long certain people will stay in the game ? ;)

Of course noone will know what the player has played, right? He would just choose a number in each round........! I assume that no 7 days per move would happen as then the play will be slow, a 2 days per move is ideal for me. But it's your choice..........

Hrqls: Yes.

TonyH (14:54): I suppose if one read the rules, it should be clear enough, although the game is little bit abstract. :-)

when more than 1 player has the lowest amount .. will they all drop out ?
(i guess so :))

Oh, OK:-) I'm just translating everything with it's absolute meaning...........

this game sounds fun, even though i have no idea what it is lol... now i'm counting the days till it starts

Chessmaster1000: "Very unlikely" in this case means "no chance". Call it a programmer's joke :-D

No the rules are clear! I don't really know why you don't understand it...........??? I have just read it for the first time and i found it fun and easy to play...........

Just one comment. There is a rule that says: 4) If a player have no points left, he must make the next move with 0 points and it is very unlikely he will stay on the pondside.
How such a player stay in the game? I see the probability for that = 0. So (s)he would never stay in the game so what's the purpose of participating in the next move with 0 points?
Please explain where i am wrong......?

we need to know the minds of our fellow players .. will they gamble high or low ...

of course everyone could put in everything minus 2 in the first round .. so you could be the lonely winner if you put in everything minus 1 .. but thats a low chance :)

hmm change the bkr on every round gained instead of at the end of the complete game :)

Well, you've got 52 of us to sign up for a game no-one (except BB) knows anything about!! Do we need skill? Should we rename it Dark Dark?

a vs b = 1:1/2:0 depending on who stayed longer in the game

eh .... i would ask fencer to make it up ;)

How would you calculate it? :-)

will there be a bkr for this ? ;)

blind date at that LOL

Bad Bishop (who asked me to add this game to BK) says that it will be absolutely clear for everyone after the first move :-)

Like dating a dame for the first time!

OK
Well ive now joined a game I dont know anything about, and dont know how to watch LOL

Wait and be patient.

How do you see whats going on then?

No.

me too.........will there be a graphic or board or something?
