Sorry, I guess I forgot about all that. Is that a fairly new problem or has the system been faulty since the begining? I remember having problems a long time ago, and was told that it was all being correctly tabulated...

Its not polite to answer a question with another question Wild Man....

I want those two irrelevant posts removed please.

I lost a game to someone rated around 2300+, I was under 1900, and I lost 28 ratings points.....

Then I beat someone who was over 1900 points, and they lost less than 28 points.

How does it work when I lose more points loseing to a much higher rated player, than someone else does loseing to a lower rated player?

There are over 700 registered members who have not been here since 2002..

What about cya peeps?

LOL. maybe he is a cat with 9 lives...
Since he has already been kicked off this whole site before :)

How come I get banned for posting a vulgar message written by stevie, yet he only gets put on your hide list for posting it in here?

I agree with both of you. There are a lot of things webtv cant do...including getting a virus :)
Like Rod said, I enjoy being on my couch or recliner while playing on the web. When I use a computer I get antsy and uncomfortable after about a half hour in that chair and desk. There are also many thing the webt can do that a computer cant , mostly tv related, but I love tv as well :)

yeah, I recently tried my first game of espionage, and it is not possible with webtv :(

yeah, I just had a problem with the mail link beside my friends was just a big empty box, but the link still worked. I think there is some sort of graphic loading problem going on, as I had lots of problems yesterday too. But the color thing is not a problem here :)

Could be your tv too :)

I am webtv and everything is fine tonight, but I was having lots of 'loading' type prblems last nite...

There has been no color change, but thats a nice idea... If you are not blind, why the capitols?

isnt it a legal move to resign a game of pro backgammon?

Isnt a resignation and a time out the same consequences

No!
But I dont know if it is a java thing or not. We jast dont use a mouse, and cannot make it go anywhere that ther is no link. My curser does not go to any blank or hotspot links on the main page though :(

Its funny... right before I read that from BBW, I had just come from my settings page and had enabled the java script... too weird. But I cant find it either, and I do think webtv is java script enabled already?

Just wondering about that too Dano...
Sad to see I didnt rate your top 3 list :(

I would enjoy a feature to hide posts from my friends list as well...

You are a gullible one...
(anyone who believes what Michael Moore says will believe anything, I guess)

The girl isnt gone... Neither are 99% of the other people who have threatyened to or have said they are leaving...

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)

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

One thing am not assuming is that I personally know 3 people who have admitted to having multiple accounts without special permission, and this has been the case for a long time now. IMO it is not the impression that this site wants to make when the user agreement prohibits it.

I think one problem for Fencer is that he simply does not delete any accounts at all. There are hundreds of abandoned accounts here, and Fencer cannot delete them without making his membership ranks shrink, so deleting these multiple accounts is not in his best interest, and neither is kicking out a paying member. so even thought the user agreement prohibits it, my guess is that unless the user is proven to be using the accounts to boost their ratings, it is in Fencers best interest to ignore the breach of the agreement.

BBW..what is the moniker for that account, and are all the games you play with it against yourself (BBW) and unrated? Or do you play with two seperate "test" accounts against each other?

Is it acceptable for us all to have sperate accounts to play test games with? I think it is a great idea to be able to practice different game strategies, where you dont have to play a game to completion etc.... I think everyone should be able to play 'practice' games in this manner, just to make it fair for all members....

So we should assume that even though there are many people who admitedly have multiple accounts without special permission, that it is still unacceptable to have them ourselves?

How did you test it BBW? Are you playing against yourself with two accounts? LOL

So, Harley, if we are not entitled to know what is being done, then all we can do is assume, and since people with more than one account are still here, and all their accounts are still here, we must assume that nothing has been done about them. If nothing is being done, then what is keeping others from doing more of the same?

Also, it truely IS a grey area when there are people who actually ADMIT to having multiple accounts, yet you (management) says it is UNACCEPTABLE! How can it be unacceptable and accepted at the same time?

The problem is that there have been reports to Fencer, but there have been no response to what, if any, action has been taken, I think that if I report a bug or problem,(including multiple account report) should be entitled to hear about any action tfrom that report, ie 'that report has been invewstigated, and there is not difinitive evidence, or it has been investigated, and found to be true, and such and such action has been taken, or this has been noted and is a situation with special circumstances' etc... Again, if we see what appears to be a breach of the rules, and we also see no consequences for this breach, then what is stopping everyone else from commiting the same violation?

OK...Just read your latest post Harley. Thanks for the clairification... The rule HAS been broken. Now if there are no consequences for a rule breach, it seems that would lead to more breaches.

Could you clairify for me please... are multiple accounts for one person prohibited, regardelss of whether or not they use them to cheat or if they are inactive? Thanks for any help :)

As members, we need to know what is acceptable and what is not acceptable....some subjects are obvious, but when there is a grey area ie multiple accounts, it is important for it to be clairified by Fencer or some other member of management. It is also absolutly a concern for you as a member of said management.

I agree with bwild harley... The members of this site do need to know if what it members are doing is acceptable, and if so is it acceptable for everyone, or are there special circumstances, or is it unacceptable. I personally am tired of hearing about it, and dont really care who has what accounts, or how they got them....but it is not going to go away until Fencer does something to make it go away.

will you please do us all a favor, and weigh in publicly on the Long John / qwerty girl situation? It would be nice to put that subject to rest, one way or another...Thanks!

Good points Kevin... also, total number of moves definitly should not be used.....

nother unsuggested idead is to measure it by the amount of people who will sign up for a non prize tournament, that seems to be a good indicator of popularity.

Fencer, can you find out why I cant get into my Amazon game against BFG?

Yes... how many more t shirts to be sold for the new server? What is the t shirt count so far?

tnx

cant you just go through my profile?

I cant get into one of my games. ts Amazons against BFG...can someone else give it a try to see if its just me? ll my other games and functions seem fine. Thanks :)

I am having no problems with Db's and such, but cant get into any of my games, or most of them, and the ones I do get into are loading really really slow...anyone else?

Stevie, you should count your blessings which cliques you are not a part of LOL

Dont worry... you are not missing anything....it has been quiet in there for awhile anyway.

So if your membership begins in decmber, you can vacation the whole month and then start with 30 morein january, for example?

Kevin.... are the vacation days then prorated when you pay for a new membership?

Maybe if you dont leave your games that long before your weekend days? Or perhaps play games with longer limits, say more than 7 days, so that you wouldnt even have to make a move per week. No games would ever be below 24 hours by your weekend.
Good Luck!

Thanks sun... Now that I am here again, it seems all is well :)

Just took me forever to get on here. All white screens. I tried through a different route than normal, and got to the visitors page. It had my name and login, but still took me to a white screen. I finally tried to enter in the guest mode, and it took me right to my main page? hmmm...
I came right here, and havent tried to play any games yet. Shall see if there are any other problems like yesterday :)
Ug... I have you on my friends list, maybe that tells you something...LOL

Tons of problems... thought it was WebTv again.... slow loading..."incomplete loading"...

There were a bunch of us webtvers having lots of problems, but it seems to be cleared up now, somehow, except for white screens after each move played...
