Asunto: I think PAWNS should really think what tourneys to sign up for

cause I looked at 2 backgammon tourneys and see pawns in them. With those tourneys they r going to take a long time to play. I don't know if management can make a note for the pawns, that they might want to play in Fast Start - First 5 to sign - by BIG BAD WOLF. So that way they would not be locked in a tourney that may take 6 months to a year to play. Is just a thought I had. Well I said my thing so back to my couch in the corner I go.

Asunto: anybody else having a problem with dark chess?

Modificado por plaintiger (6. Septiembre 2004, 06:36:05)

i'm playing a game of dark chess and as of this afternoon or so (US eastern time) the page my dark chess game appears on is way too wide - i have to scroll horizontally (brrrr!) to see the move list. my opponent, who's using WebTV, poor thing, is having the same problem - and with the full-featured luxury that WebTV offers, She doesn't even seem to have the option of scrolling horizontally and so can only see the left column of the move list.

the game is here. thanks in advance for any help...

oh yeah, and i forgot to mention: none of the other games i'm playing, including my other game with the same opponent, exhibit this problem. and none of them are dark chess, either.

Asunto: Re: anybody else having a problem with dark chess?

That game is private.. couldn't check it out. I am also WebTV, so I was hoping to see this problem, as I've never run into what you described before.

Asunto: Re: anybody else having a problem with dark chess?

It has nothing to do with Dark Chess itself. Please check if some message in the message archive below the game board doesn't contain a very loooooooong word which makes the whole page wider.

no offence of course....just thought it might lighten things up :)

One blonde in Pilsen asks another:
"Which is further, Prague or the Moon?".

The other replies: "Like HELLOOOOO, can you see Prague from here???

Asunto: To Fencer, errors in my rating

My Gothic Chess rating is wrong.
It needs to be 2433. Caissus's rating needs to be 2240.

I received this message when my game timed out when it should not have
(a bug in BrainKing software for Labor Day in USA)

Caissus: old BKR = 2240, new BKR = 2250 (+10)
EdTrice: old BKR = 2433, new BKR = 2425 (-8)

My Amazons rating is wrong.
It needs to be 2186, and charly2 should be 1907.

I received this message when my game timed out when it should not have
(a bug in BrainKing software for Labor Day in USA)

charly2: old BKR = 1907, new BKR = 1930 (+23)
EdTrice: old BKR = 2186, new BKR = 2146 (-40)

Asunto: it's no bug

Modificado por danoschek (6. Septiembre 2004, 18:20:34)

this is not america and america is not the world. I'd recommend you deal with
your lacking overview privately and read the helpfiles first, especially somebody
who took so much advantage from not correctly ended games, really should. ~*~

6. Septiembre 2004, 18:51:35

My message was to Fencer, I will only acknowledge comments from Fencer, ignoring all others. This bug might have effected other players also. I had 2+ days to move in all of my games, and in the morning I had two timeout messages.

6. Septiembre 2004, 18:54:45

Asunto: my message was general

Modificado por danoschek (6. Septiembre 2004, 18:57:57)

like the helpfiles meant to keep the boards
clean from innecessary and notorious moaning,
especially by ppl busy forgetting their own quotes ... ~*~

I agree Dano...if a post is only meant for one person,perhaps a PM would be more suited :-)

6. Septiembre 2004, 19:41:02

There are more important things to do. You must wait.

6. Septiembre 2004, 19:59:23

For the record, I did send Fencer a PM, which he did not respond to. If he simply said he had other things which he was attending to, that would have been fine.

As he did not, and others may have been adversely affected, I notified the community through this discussion board.

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:00:59

Then you need to expect others to respond, when posting on a public board.

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:01:48

Asunto: For the record

I would just have said *take it like a man*
but this happens to be the joke board, not. ~*~

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:14:30

As it was a "BrainKing.com" issue, I did my part to identify a bug in the BrainKing.com software, notify the BrainKing.com admin, and post to the BrainKing.com board.

Since Fencer is now aware of the bug, has acknowledged the report, has restored the affected games, all he needs to do now is adjust the 3 peoples' ratings that were adversely changed, and the error will have been corrected in full.

I think this now closes the issue and there is no need for further responses.

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:17:33

Asunto: endless moaning

destroys the boards - you failed often enough to know
what needs to be done yet - get over it finally ... ~*~

Jeez Dan....you keep commenting on inappropriate posts on these boards.... how does your most recent post have any appropriatness to this board?

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:23:05

Asunto: as long

as people without own life think they must comment me uncalled.
I would prefer to keep an even amount of msgs in an exchange though.
but of course we know it's not about exchanging - it's about *famous quote* ~*~

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:23:29

Nobody will be affected because when I finish a graph generator script, all BKRs will be recalculated from the very start to make their history for statistics purposes.

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:25:32

Asunto: yay ! \:D/

Modificado por danoschek (6. Septiembre 2004, 20:26:38)

that's what we call a binding statement in germany. I appreciate that
my ratings request from weeks ago is covered most likely, too ... :D ... ~*~

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:25:47

A graph to see the ups and downs of our BKR's over time? That's great!
(Is that what you are saying?)

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:27:56

No, I think he's saying its all going to be recalculated and they are all going to change LOL

6. Septiembre 2004, 20:32:28

That doesn't sound like something a "graph generator script" would be needed for..

If this is true that it's LJ then that make 3 or 4 accounts now. That really fare to the rest of us.

There is a new option on Settings page for those who want to sort "next games" in another way.

6. Septiembre 2004, 23:55:28

Wooohooo I'll check it out, thanks Fencer!

6. Septiembre 2004, 23:57:19

coan.net

Looks good Fencer - I really like having the feature of being able to play the games sorted by when the other opponent moved. That way it is easy to (1) play with other players who are on-line (decending), and (2) play game with the games which have been waiting the longest (acending)

7. Septiembre 2004, 00:03:11

Thanks for helping me out with which one goes which way BBW LOL

7. Septiembre 2004, 00:05:00

Me too, I was just trying to figure that one out!

Asunto: Re:

Thats how have mine set too BBW..... but I think I did it wrong.... I thought ascending meant from the most recently moved to the longest since moved, and Visa versa for descending.... thanks for clearing that up for me :)

Question.... does this feature kick in as soon as it is set, or the next time you log in? (I dont have enough games to play right now to find out)

7. Septiembre 2004, 00:11:18

coan.net

It kicks in right away.

I'm currenlty going though games which have been waiting for about 4 days for me to play. :-)

Asunto: I'm BAAAACCCCKKK!!!!

Our family came through Frances pretty much unscathed.

The only damage we received was to our shed door (ripped cleanly off and deposited in front of the same shed it came from.....just flipped around) and some minor damage to our front porch.

We are lucky considering the misfortune that Frances has left to others in the same county.

While I was at work, power got restored and, thus, I am able to type this message to everyone.

Hope Backoff and Floosy return home soon and hope theirs was spared Frances' little sojourn.
