Hey, I just lost a game with an un-rated player and my rating went down 50 points!! How come??! I thought un-rated players made no difference to your rating?

Nope! I'm not sure what value is used for them in the formula, but they definately affect your rating!

:o( Ah well, we live and learn! Thanks Kev!

Everybody starts with 1300 [BKR] but the BKR is not shown if the user didn't finish at least 4 ratd games.

Ah, that makes sense then!

How far above the 1300 does one have to be before you lose points?

I have 1 male and 3 females for sale $300.00 ckc papersemail me at amyandlew@bluegrass.net

And remember....a dog is for life and not just for Christmas!

(but dont tell the turkey that, it upsets them... equal rights and all...)

You know what I REALLY like about this site? Even when theres no games happening theres loads to browse through. And before you know it its your turn in a game again! Then back to browsing!! [am I the only one with too much time on my hands???!]

hrlqns: Prepare for even more browsing when I release tournaments and teams :-)

Wont the tournaments and teams just be for members though?

Teams just for brain knight or higher level. Some tournaments for all users [at least the first one because of testing].

:o(
How about introducing a six month membership then?

Six months membership for a half price? $9 and $14

Yeah, that would be loads better, dont forget, us English folk have to pay for the conversion, and the extra to send abroad!!!

I would like to add some better payment method for players from other countries. Any ideas? Maybe I could open another on-line shop in Euro.

Well speaking for myself I wouldn't have a clue how to use that!! I've always had problems ordering stuff online, I only have a debit card and most online payment services just dont recognise it, so I end up paying in cash or money order anyway!
It might be a good idea for other people though..

And have you tried to open a PayPal account?

ARGH!! Yes, and I had no end of trouble with it!! Trouble is, my card is a visa electron, not well recognised obviously! I tried to set up a payment account on eBay and there was no chance! My card wasn't recognised.

There is still a possibility to make an inter-bank money transfer. Just let me know what information about my bank you need and maybe we will work it out.

Great, thanks, I have to go to the bank on Wednesday, I'll ask while I'm there. :o)

Happy Eid to all it applies to!!

whoo hoo!! :) I hear ya Eddie!!

How are ratings affected by someone who lets a game time out? Great site. Fencer, if you need one more thing to do, my house needs painting!

is # 1000 !!!
congrats Fencer with a great site

Thanks everyone for nice words :-)
Vikings: Timeout is a normal end of a game. Read FAQ issue about ratings.

Fencer, is the '?' about Eid?
If so its the Muslim Christmas, today for some, tomorrow for others. I only know because my kids go to a school thats mostly Muslims and they're all off today and tomorrow! Theres about 7 kids (including my twins) in their class today who aren't Muslims. So I thought I'd get into the spirit and say Happy Eid to all Muslims!

By the way, spot on Eddie,its a fantastic site!

If you are playing a 5 game match, and one player wins the first 3, is the match over, or are the remaining 2 games still played?

play untill all are done..then you get either 1 win or 1 loss

Don't you think it should be over if there aren't enough games left for the other player to catch up?

it doesnt say best of? i take it as if ya play a freind that many for fun that it wouldnt matter..

I suppose not...maybe that's what xx wins matches are for :-) lol

Hmmm, maybe I'll do something with that.

Fencer, in my game against Tonyh i placed a pawn on C5, clicked on the usual button to return to the main page and see that the move is not done and it is still my turn. I tried it 5 or 6 times.
What's up? Uil

I'll look at it.

thanks, problem is solved now

i just want to tell you Fencer, that this site is really terrific, i have been getting thank you msgs from people that i have told about it, they all like it. you're doing a great job. if this site keeps running so fast, and you get backgammon, i think you're going to have a huge increase in members, the things you've added just in the last week have been wonderful. i better stop now. LOL..
thx. ellie

If you look at the move list, you'll notice black moved b1 twice in a row, which shouldn't be, that's for sure! :-) I'm not sure if it was my opponent that somehow sent that move, or if the system somehow decided that black played that move.

(or i guess maybe the page i'm getting is wrong!)

Are you giving all of us a general vacation over Xmas? Please?

Kevin: Hey, you are right! I'll look at it :-)

tonyh: Yes, I'll add some global holidays ASAP.

Just want to say - what a great site Fencer, only joined 2 weeks ago and met some great ppl already. Have spread the word to as many ppl as i can from other sites and most are playing here.
It will grow & grow i am sure, with Backgammon coming as well.
p.s. Any thoughts along Battleboats lines ???
Keep up the great work - madmonkey :-))))

Thanks MadMonkey :-) I want to finish teams, backgammon and then I can start to work on battleboats etc.

I have a question Fencer. If a person with a 20 game limit signs up for tournies now and is at their 20 max by the time the tourney starts can they still play in the tournies? I guess for members too.. if I was at 50 games and the tourney starts do i still get to play in it even tho i dont have any room left for games?
