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

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.

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

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.

Temo: Re:

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?

24. Februaro 2005, 20:16:59

Stevie

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

24. Februaro 2005, 20:10:10

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

Temo: Re:

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.

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

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

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

Temo: Re:

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?

24. Februaro 2005, 19:42:13

Modifita de Universal Eyes (24. Februaro 2005, 19:45:22)

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: 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?

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?

Temo: 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!

I constantly get reminded its a game site not chat site...so I tend to play first then read/chat LOL

20. Februaro 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. Februaro 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)
