Asunto: want to play a new tournament :-(

Fencer, i want to play a new tournament, but it can't because brainking said i play already a tournament (see:All Games - 2 days per move ►► F A S T ◄◄ #2) but this tournament is over for 1 month now!, what must i do, i want to play a new tournament?

27. Agosto 2004, 07:46:14

Fencer

ruudvdh: What about to upgrade to a higher membership level? It's plain and simple. Otherwise you have to wait for me to release you from a tournament.

Asunto: If someone wants to sponsor a prize tournament

Modificado por Artful Dodger (27. Agosto 2004, 07:51:35)

Like a Rook or Knight Membership, what is the procedure to follow?

Also, is it also possible to sponser things from the BK store as prizes? :)

27. Agosto 2004, 08:05:06

Fencer

Of course it is possible. It's as simple as to pay like for yourself and send me a message with details who should be given what :-D

Asunto: Prize tournament

Plus I would suggest that if the prize is something from the store or a membership, you should get that paid for BEFORE the tournament starts, that way if the tournament takes a long time, the winner (and Fencer) does not have to worry about the creator still being around to be able to pay the prize.

*shamless plug alert*

Take for example my current Battleboats Plus Prize Tournament which already has over 35 players signed up, and more signing up every day - all for a membership prize which Fencer already has. So if I get hit by a bus tomorrow, the prize will still be there for the winner!

Asunto: why did this happen??

when this game was a draw how come my bkr went up and his went down??

The game is a draw.

Fiona: old BKR = 662, new BKR = 754 (+92)
jeff45: old BKR = 1503, new BKR = 1455 (-48)

29. Agosto 2004, 22:56:55

Stardust

Asunto: Re: why did this happen??

Because of the difference in your bkr...Yours being significantly lower rewards you for drawing with someone whose bkr suggests is a better player.
Hope this helps :-)

Not only in the bug tracker, but set to the highest priority! :-) It would be a shame if the site missed Christmas! LOL

30. Agosto 2004, 02:38:31

Where on a profile page is date of birth shown? I don't recall ever seeing that.

okay okay, just kidding - but for a hint ... :p ~*~

30. Agosto 2004, 03:57:36

So if nobody else can see it... what's the point?

No, actually I think birthday is always a hidden field isn't it? If you look at my profile, I have my birthday set but only I can see the birthday. (At least that is what I thought.)

30. Agosto 2004, 14:02:15

What's the reasoning behind the "delete game" facility?

30. Agosto 2004, 15:31:52

rabbitoid

it allows you to maintain a high BKR in games like screen chess, or battle boats, dark chess, whereever there's an element of surprise in the initial move. in case you don't like the initial setup zap it! no penalty! other than, in my case for example, not to be invited ever again :)

30. Agosto 2004, 16:02:59

I see. And even on the second move a game can be deleted, I always save my offensive messages till the third move.

30. Agosto 2004, 16:26:24

rabbitoid

smart :)

30. Agosto 2004, 17:01:08

Asunto: Deleting games

The reasoning is explained on this page.

30. Agosto 2004, 17:07:22

Asunto: BuilderQ

Thanks. There is therefore no justification for a delete function in a game in which both players have made even one move, in fact it's nonsense isn't it? If you cant wait for a time out why accept a game at that time limit and how do you know the opponent won't make a move within the time limit?

30. Agosto 2004, 17:11:41

Yes, I agree.

30. Agosto 2004, 22:22:07

They're okay on the gothic board.

30. Agosto 2004, 22:24:58

now ;-)

30. Agosto 2004, 22:25:36

Let's go!

30. Agosto 2004, 23:02:00

Asunto: delete game function is contraproductive

for sure in a few games after all - (crazy-) screen chess eg., while
I don't mind that mandirigma always chickened out when I took one
of his publicly waiting games, to kick him from where he does not belong ... ~*~

30. Agosto 2004, 23:31:31

it could be....he dont like you?

31. Agosto 2004, 00:04:30

Asunto: Re: delete game function is contraproductive

I thought insults were reserved for "general chat"?

31. Agosto 2004, 00:15:16

Shall I move mine up too??

31. Agosto 2004, 00:50:15

Asunto: hm indeed ... :?

Fencer is no longer moderator here
already wondered why the spammers feel so strong ~*~

31. Agosto 2004, 01:35:57

Asunto: well it was about deleting games, right ?

Modificado por danoschek (31. Agosto 2004, 01:37:22)

so far so well - and to the example I exerted and that was flattened here, if somebody
leads a ranking it's not about sympathy - I as sportsman accept anyone who's not more
than 400 bkr points below - unlike him who does not like who belongs top there ... ~*~

31. Agosto 2004, 02:32:33

Asunto: Re: well it was about deleting games, right ?

and yet you refuse invites from certain players....again,perhaps he doesnt like you.I know I dont play games with folks I dont like.

31. Agosto 2004, 02:49:07

Asunto: okay I take note

you will have to explain to Ted Rice that I'm
top ranking in gothic. I didn't know thanks ~*~

Fencer can act Moderator of any board he wants - delete, edit, hide, ban - even if his name isn't listed in the Moderator(s) spot.
