Hey!
I get a chance to correct some lousy moves.

22. Noviembre 2004, 21:56:11

Oh and the one we drop on some troublesome members ever so often LOL

22. Noviembre 2004, 21:53:47

LOL:)

22. Noviembre 2004, 21:44:45

LMAO
So what fellowship holds the sacrificial boulder? I know its not the cave, the only boulder we got is the front door LOL

And anyway - no-one is perfect, so from time to time, s*it happens, to be politically uncorrect. So, unless you personally are perfect, let others not to be too. And ... if you will be not angry with things you can't prevent,your life will be much happier

There is an option of playing unrated. A check box as you create the game. And if you put in your profile that you only accept unrated games, you shouldn't have too much of a problem.
Its frustrating for everyone when this kind of thing happens, but there is no point getting angry about it. It can't be helped :o)

Mamba - either pay for membership and contribute to a better, more stable games site here (which is what you are moaning about) - or go and play elsewhere. Simple. Like it or lump it. No-one is making you play here (for free).

ScarletRose: you say that servers are not Gods... but of course they are! now Filip, THERE's the fault! you must have forgotten to sacrifice your daily pawn! now let's see the list...

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:30:10

good question...i guess i'm as competitive as the next guy and always hopeful that this wil be the last time it will burn up....but it never is it seems and the ratings get more and more inaccurate...tough to win a game twice we should get double points...lol...just kiddin'..i say dump the points..!!

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:25:47

Mamba: If the ratings don't mean anything to you, or you don't like them, why not just play the games for fun and ignore the ratings?

Asunto: Troubles at the site?

Had to work today.. didn't noticed anything strange at my games when i came home just an hour ago... I am sorry to read about the troubles though.... Thanks Fencer and Liquid for making this a great site: keep up the good work!!! :-)

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:24:29

There are backups. How do you think we only lost a handful of hours

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:23:29

i'm still a pawn by choice...twice i've had the chance to be raised to a castle or a horse and i turned them down.....and don't blame this crap on me...let's look at who's problem it is and why with all the money you all say your giving him isn;'t there some sort of backup or night watchman to see that this doesn't happen..??

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:22:30

Mamba - It has been talked about to hide the ratings from pawns, but I'm surprised to hear a pawn actually agree with that!

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:21:03

Thats one unpaid member vote against how many? LOL

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:20:25

i'd rather there were no ratings..!!!...get rid of them

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:20:07

Someone's a pawn for more than a year and complaining about service?? What a nut.

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:18:57

I thought it was 3 months last time ;o). So as a pawn...how many moves did you have to replay this afternoon? 20 at the most I guess. I bet you are really hard done by eh

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:18:42

Asunto: Mamba

What do you do with your rating?

22. Noviembre 2004, 20:16:50

the only thing i'm complaining about is that there is a ratings system here..!!...it's not very accurate if you ask me....last october when it crashed and we all lost an entire MONTHS worth of games we were told it would all be ok...send him our ratings as we remembered them and they'd be reinstated....well last month all the games i had resigned because i was ASS-ured it would be ok and my ratings would not reflect them as losses all got turned around and they ARE losses now...so am i to believe him again telling me the same thing...you rally round a liar i'm not..!!

22. Noviembre 2004, 19:53:49

once again BBW...you are so right ;o) xoxoxoxox LOL

I lost a few moves...so what, must be worth maybe a cent??? i wont complain about that :o) Backups every day now, you cant do it much more frequent than that can you

22. Noviembre 2004, 18:44:59

coan.net

Exactly, and I know mine and others comments about "pawns" are only to the very minor part of the pawn population here.

Most pawns bring game playing to this site, and possible some day bring money in the form of a membership to this site.

It is only a small handful which cause problems, unforntatly - those are the loudest ones sometimes.

well, but a very loud one :-)

22. Noviembre 2004, 18:37:25

not all pawns,Gror....seems a "small" group to me.;-)

22. Noviembre 2004, 18:34:17

It's very funny to hear pawns, who did NOTHING and yet have benefit of being accepted on this server, complaining about something, what is very often happening with all servers on the internet, but this server this thing affected once I remember and with the insufficient hardware it's a sort of a miracle. I personally would pay MORE if I was able to, to prevent this stuff, but what do you do, PAWNS? I'm disgusted...

22. Noviembre 2004, 18:31:06

Asunto: ((((BBW))))

it always sounds better when you say it!!! Your just the GREATEST!!! ;-)

22. Noviembre 2004, 18:29:14

its a shame some kids have very few manners...they tend to ruin it for others.

22. Noviembre 2004, 18:27:50

coan.net

The only people I see complaining are pawns. Most everyone else knows that by being paid members, we are helping towards the goal of a new server which will make this site beter in the long run. Heck, this is the first (more then a few minutes) down time I have seen for a long time of this site, and with the old equipment that this site currently runs - that is pretty good!

Keep up the work Fencer, this is a great gamesite.

This hasn't happened for more than a year. The site is ridiculously cheap, do you always ask for your money back when similarly infrequent hiccoughs occur with things for which you've laid out equivalent cash? Your griping is pathetic.

22. Noviembre 2004, 18:20:21

Asunto: not sure what a "mitt" is...

but I dont see an awful lot of "paid" members complaining.Perhaps you could show your support in making this site better,by joining the "paid" members? ;-)

harley

You're wrong, Swampthing. Paying members don't demand a refund when something goes wrong, we rally round and try to get more funds flowing in so Fencer and co. can get the new server that this site needs.

22. Noviembre 2004, 18:16:57

Swampthing

If more people where a paing member, more people will wanted their money back...At least thats what I think

read your server news on your main page..if more people were paying members...this sort of thing would surely be less frequent. ;-)

I'm happy I am not a payed member! I would be very [edited] if my moves just dissapear, after I paied a several bucks. I want to believe this isnt a joke, right?? What hapenned Fencer??

22. Noviembre 2004, 17:49:01

You could have a backup sistem to prevent when things like this happen

22. Noviembre 2004, 17:46:30

Asunto: I know it is frustrating Mamba

but do remember this.. Servers are not Gods.. and unfortunately they break down occassionally..

Fencer has done excellent with this site and we rarely do see site crashes.. So just know this is not a normal occurance..

Have a wonderful Monday!

22. Noviembre 2004, 17:26:01

if your moves were Great yesterday,your skills should be Greater today.grin and bear it ;-)

22. Noviembre 2004, 17:22:59

it sure is tough to play games here when people get second chances in games...how can i be rated if the GREAT moves i made last evening and early this morning are GONE..!!..what am i being rated on...how well i do the second time around...???....what a joke

22. Noviembre 2004, 16:47:36

Nice try, Paulo. Unfortunatelly nobody is so stupid to believe you.
