It did, it timed out right after I posted LOL

I have a game that the opponent has timed out, but instead of getting the win, the time is saying -3 minutes etc. Why is this and when will the game really time out?

HalfPawn: Some people like to organize prize tourneys and Fencer's idea allows one to do that for free. I think it's an excellent idea and remember it's only one type of promotion. And yes it's "free." You pay for a membership (which you'd do anyway) and if you do it now, you can run a prize tourney. BK is essentially providing the prize for free.

HalfPawn: Well, it is some kind of motive, I guess! I would make a cylinder chess tourny and win the prize myself!

ive now taken this to the ludo discussion board

Czuch Chuckers: yeah you only roll 3 till first on the board.. but you get a re roll after 6 anytime, so you can do that anytime of the game and get 3 rolls if the first two are 6's...
but yes, i do mean what you just said, because like i said a moment ago.. usually you would move after rolling the die each time... not roll it again after a 6 then treat it as a single move

Stevie: To me, it sounds like you only roll 3 dice until you get your first 6 and you use that roll to put your first player on the board. Then after this only on die is rolled? So if you have no players on the board and you roll 6 6 2 you have to use that whole roll to get your first player on the board, and if it is not possible to make the whole turn, then you lose that turn and try again next turn? Are you saying that if you roll 6 6 2 then you should be able to just use the 6 part to get a player on the board, and if you dont have anymore options after that, then you stay with the 6 roll only and then roll the one die again and continue from there?

Eriisa: 6 puts you on the start at first, but you may also use it to move a piece already on the board,, usually you would roll die, move piece then if you get a 6, you then roll again and then move etc etc

I think the 6 simply opens the door. The 2nd die is the amount of the move.

need a little altering though...
When you say roll,,, 6,6,3 each die should be treat seperately, so you move the first amount, then the next etc until you cannot move more ( only one piece can move though)
At the moment if you cannot move the whole 6+6+3 (21) spaces,, It makes you pass

lol

Maxxina: What do you mean "working once again"? I never stopped to.

Our king , emperor of this site and king of czech country on internet :) Is working once again . And this time , its gonna be big . GO is finally coming to this site , aleluja to fencer :D

Maxxina: 4 players would be awesome!! I can't get another 6 though to save my life!!!! although,neither can my oppnt,lol

And imagine variant for 4 Players . Hmmmm that would be so much fun :)

Stevie: Yeah you are right there!

Jules: Yeah Im playing a fast game of it now and its great!!

Skittles: Its another game that an autopass system would help along also

Skittles: Not if you get a fast player. :)

Skittles: Yeah, would be like a game of antigammon with a last minute player :o(

Stevie: A slow game of it seems like it WOULD take forever.

Eriisa: Its good game :o)
Buuuut, dont think I could play slow games of it

WatfordFC: LOL, just put on the shades!

Fencer any chance of having the ludo board reduced in size, or at least an option to reduce it in size if its required. It en half make ya eyes go funny after a while

harley: It's been five days harley. The Big Boss was surprised by my request. She also was surprised by my mentioning for her to check with you and also read this board so she could be familiar with why I was asking to join her fellowship. Apparently she doesn't read this board at all. I find it amazing that any moderator would not read one of the more important boards on this site let alone the Big Boss of a moderator's fellowship, but maybe we all have other priorities, eh? Just what do you guys talk about in this fellowship? I assume all the discussion boards are covered by the various members of this particular fellowship. It would seem to me that since there's too many boards for each of you to read all of them that one of you would alert the fellowship to when something is noteworthy enough to warrant attention or discussion. And if inviting someone to join the fellowship to discuss ways to change how the site is moderated isn't important enough to the Big Boss of a moderator discussion board to even think it's necessary to read the posts that brought it up or ask the global moderator what's up, then I think I've positively shown what is wrong with the private nature of the fellowship discussion boards. And also what is wrong with how moderators are choosen and stay in their positions. Awhile back in this very board, almost a year ago, I posted a lot of things about this and related subjects as did a lot of other people. I warned that things would be fine until the next problem came up and then it'd another disaster but worse. Little did I dream it would be what happened just three weeks ago. What I didn't take into consideration is how effective deleting everything is as strategy to silence questions and dissent. It really works! It's like it ever happened. I've learned from this.

I'll stick to games for now on. Perhaps the previous poster can fight the status quo in my stead.

Challenge authority.

Skyking: In principle a good idea, though it would impose a burden on the moderators. At the very least, it would create a cooling-off period between posts.

alanback:I was reminding folks about that option.

There is an option mods can use which is "all posts must be approved", it comes in handy if a board is getting out of hand. Its not often its applied on most boards but this could be what you experienced, Skyking.

Skyking: Have you ever had to wait to see a message that you posted show up in the forums?

malynemo:

Brainking.com is super.

What I'm asking is..Don't the monitors have a thing to click on to let them see the post before lettting it in there? I thought so

Thanks :-)

Foxy Lady: WEll done

Rose and rod03801 for being chosen Globs.

rod03801:I agree there are several children that can and will see this issue,which is not needed for this great site.

Mike.:o)

Babygirlle: I think specifics of this arguement should be kept to PM or fellowships. It has been more of a general conversation here.

Walter Montego:As too your question,there is no pawns that can read or write on any fellowship boards.
Therefore that shows you are, NOT the big boss,which are fencers decisions.

Any other question regarding this should be directly sent to Fencer.

Czuch Chuckers:The site was down for 2 hours.

ScarletRose:I finally agree with you,i can't speak for him but still the issue at hand,i agree.

harley: OK, I'll try it your way. I sent a request for membership to the Big Boss saying you recommended me.
I'll see you there when she gets around to letting me in.

And in Iran too :-)

Czuch Chuckers: Yep, site was inaccessible to me during that time. Oddly, I don't even get an internet error message, but simply nothing happens when I click on a link to the site.

Czuch Chuckers: Yes, it went down for about an hour and a half here too in the UK

Just had a mess of a time getting onsite, anyone else?

I had to come on in guest mode after trying normal chanels for over an hour!

Jason: I don't think that idea would work because then people who are mad at other people WOULD start saying crap and getting things all riled up...whats the point in that,isn't that what the flame pit (or whatever the fellowship is called ) is for.Unfortanatly,like Tuesday said..our converstaion just happen to fall in the same time line as something else and someone I suppose thought it was personal,which it was not...sorry,girls just having fun here and the timing was bad,not our fault on that one,also,like Tuesday said..mod was NOT rude to me about it AT ALL,I understand she was doing her job and wasn't upset at her AT ALL.I think,all and all,the mods are doing a very good job!!

agree that since pawns cannot participate in fellowships, there are some subjects which they may be excluded from participating in, ie the "Bumble situation". In that instance they were asked to discuss it on another website. That topic was not allowed here, on public boards, because some found it offensive. The problem is that everything can be offensive to someone, even something as benign as talking about a particular song can offend some. So where does it end? Do we really want these boards to be as pure as the most sensative member among us? Maybe so. But if we do, then we have to be ready to remove a post about a particular song, if it offends someone. If we get to that point, then there will be nothing suitable for the public boards.

I think we all agree it needs to lie somewhere in the middle.... That is where the real problem lies, where is this middle ground? When this decision is left up to the moderators, we have another set of problems. Some boards ie gen chat have many moderators, all with the ability to delete any post they think will offend or that they are personally offended by. Do we really really want posts deleted only because the moderator is offended by a topic? Or only because one reader is offended and comnplains? hat doesnt make any sense either, but thats what it has come down to!
What happens if a moderator is a personal friend of someone being discussed? So they dont allow any posts about that person. hen someone else is being discussed who is not a personal friend of that moderator, so the topic is allowed. This does happen on these boards. Is that how we want our moderators to act?


have plenty more, but it seems like most people probably havent even read this far, so I will end it here......
