Temo: Re: Reveal Bug
SL-Mark: I think it would be good if it got changed. It's not fair to those who don't know it and even if you know you can forget it. How do others feel about it? Should we make a request?

I just assumed everyone knew this,I'm sure others will chime in but it was always something I bore in mind when making moves of that nature for many years now.Even if it is changed now it would be hard for me personally to break the habit of ALWAYS taking the recon first

Temo: Re: Reveal Bug
SL-Mark:

I would consider it a bug and think it should be changed. I wouldn't expect it to be a difficult change (I suspect they need to update certain properties for individual piece moves and then again at the completion of all piece moves and the 'identified' flag is getting set in the first check instead of the second), but it should at least be documented somewhere obvious in the mean time.

I never knew the issue existed at IYT or here until now.

Celticjim: I hadn't realised that. It does explain all my defeats. :)

I can't be the only one, as dAGGER too has just fallen foul of this.

Do you suggest we leave it as it is, or get it changed (if possible) so it doesn't matter the piece movement order with a move

Just to let you all know, I have just reported a bug in one of my games.
If you make a move that captures a recon and in that same move, also move a '?' that would touch this recon, ensure that you take the recon first, otherwise the '?' will be revealed as it was seen before it was taken, even though it is the same move!

Chaos: Like all aspiring espionagers, just practicing the art of disguise and blending in with the back ground. In Scotland, wear a kilt and paint your face blue, in Holland wear wooden shoes and ride a bike; now you are prepared to deploy some subterfuge.
Just like that undetected '1' pretending to be a '5'

Sir Lance-a-lot: Welcome at BrainKing Sir Lance-a-lot, good to see you here! :) The interface here at BrainKing is quite different and takes some time to get used to. Here they call Sabotage 'Espionage' and they have the same variants, except for the corner variant.

There are a few differences. The volcano variants don't have fixed places for the volcanoes. They appear random in the middle in a symmetrical way.

Another difference is that at IYT you can 'shuffle' two unseen pieces around so your opponent doesn't know which of the two pieces is the unseen piece who just caught his 4. You understand what I mean? Here at BrainKing on the right side of the gameboard there is a notation of every move, so you can tell exactly which piece moved where.

The tournaments work very different as well. The good thing is we can design them ourselves and the results are automatically registered and neatly listed:

Chaos, this is Lance-a-lot. What's the difference in this website and the games on IYT? I'd like to play a game with anyone who's up for it?

Chaos:

jonaron and I have played a few times.

In League events, we played Open in Season 6 (I won) and Season 8 (a draw). We also played Mini in a Speed Rush event. I forget the event, but he won our individual game.

And, we have played in some random IYT tournies over the years with pretty even results.

Of course, as you so accurately put it, "careful when it matters" starts at Move 1 with jonaron so he gets a different version of my game that almost anyone else. :)

SL-Mark:

I don't know about 'worth studying', but to tie it back to another recent thread . . .if someone plays slow enough we are both a risk to time-out. In the past that was only an effective strategy against me (and sometimes against Jozsef). If it now works against jonaron it may catch on with more people. :)

Temo: Re: jonaron - quiet man
happy hermit: Did you and jonaron ever play against eachother? I'd love to see such a match! :)

The one thing about looking at a match between 2 others is that you don't know what they can see unless you go through a lot of trouble noting it down. Which is hard enough when you're playing a game yourself.

SL-Mark: Thank you! Indeed I saw how you managed to bundle quite some compliments in one sentence in that post and I felt very honoured .

Trying to be a friendly person in daily life, it feels good to be as ferocious as I can on the battelfield . The thing I like best about espionage is that you can agressively attack with weak pieces, as long as you are capable to keep them unidentified.

Temo: Re: jonaron - quiet man
Chaos: You are doing a fantastic job.

I was trying to shrewdly compliment you by suggesting that your approach was judicious and diplomatic, favoured traits of a moderator. Referring to our recent game and your ruthless annihilation of myself, I was hinting that there are also some sharp claws and teeth behind the ball of fur. I am sure however, that neither Eric nor myself, would have to face the Chaos Creature.

Although an attempt to create some light hearted banter, there is a serious note in Eric’s original posting, which is that both Jonaron’s and Quiet Man’s playing styles are worth studying.

Naturally we will support you.

SL-Mark: In espionage I can also completely mess up I'm afraid, completely surprising myself by not seeing obvious things. I hope you'll all help me when I overlook things as moderator!

 

As a moderator I can also ban myself (quite tempting to try this out), so if I mess up just say so, and I'll do the right thing ;)

Temo: Re: jonaron - quiet man
happy hermit: As I see it the only way to abuse language is by using it to hurt someone intentionally. Everyone has a different personal style and uses the words and expressions belonging to you.

 

People will not only recognise me as Dutch by the flag but also by the flaws in my English. That's only natural. Jonaron doesn't say much so I don't know about his English. The amount of speech is a big difference between jonaron and quiet man ;)

 

I'm sure they're not the same because I don't see either of them misleading us by joining a tournament twice. Also the playing style seems different to me. Jonaron plays more careful I think. He plays with more caution. Quiet man starts to play careful when it matters.

 

Well, Eric, you or Jonaron are the only ones who can answer this question for us.

jonaron and quiet man have extremely similar playing styles and both seem to time out a lot.

Has anyone considered that they might be the same person?
