This would all be moot if Fencer would just allow us to select our own starting value (& bonus)!

The pond in question: http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=126&trnst=10

Czuch Chuckers: Everyone falls into the pond - NO WINNER!

nobody gets the bonus.

What happens when/if all players make the exact same bid?

Frog diving #1

Czuch Chuckers: Which pond??

BIG BAD WOLF: Well, the descriptions are there for a purpose.... I agree that a special game like that could have some mention in the title as well though :)

Here is a list of people who did not read the description of the pond that they signed up for....

Maxxina, Grenv, Nothingness,Hannelore, Fra, pedro, Stromovous, Beach, and Lindaw4.

If all of these players will bid 0 next round, we can get the game back on track?


Grenv.... how much more obvious do you want? It was posted in the game description, and also in the game discussion.

I just looked at that pond (not in it myself), but I agree with grenv - Heck, I don't think I've ready 1/2 of the descriptions of the ponds I entered!

And I might add well over half the entrants didn't follow the rule. So..

MAKE IT MORE OBVIOUS NEXT TIME!!

hmmm...... well, unlike other ponds the silly rule was not in the title. I will drop out with zero this round. I wouldn't have entered if I had known.

It looks like you have a lot of work to getting people out of your pond who did not follow the rules... I think you should PM everyone and have them all bid 0 in the next round to fall into the pond. The rest of us can bid 1 next round, and then normal moves after that... I hope you can get this all worked out.


PEOPLE PLEASE READ THE POND DESCRIPTIONS THAT YOU ENTER, IT IS VERYFRUSTRATING WHEN YOU DO NOT!

Sign up for CindyinTN's On Golden Pond! I won't push you in....

BIG BAD WOLF: Oh, I guess you must have just recently done this? Thanks!

If it's my Pond game, it is because I changed the time to a time that is already past - should start at about 5 after the next hour.

(Once I see at least 16 players signed up - I start the pond!)

There is a game waiting to start that is -2 1/2 hours ready to start. It is for a minimum of 16 players and a maximum of 20, and there are 18 already signed up.


My question is, why doesnt this game start already? Since the minimum limit has already been met, this game should have started. Is it a bug in the system? It shouldnt have to wait for the maximum limit to be reached to start, should it?

Pedro Martínez: You will have to ask her yourselves.. I have no idea.. I was just as surprised as you all were..

Maybe she was confused.. ???? *shrugs shoulders*

MidnightMcMedic: LOL...yeah! thats it!

in the most delightful way[hehe]

bwildman: no it was a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down lol

ScarletRose, Chuck: I would like to know why Hannelore bet 1200. Any ideas?

"a little bit of sugar makes the merrygo go round"?

Czuch Chuckers: It's called Luck Chuckers!! *sticks out tongue ~ blthhhh*.. So there!!!

ScarletRose: Hmmmmmm.... I agree with Pedro.... very suspicious bets on that last round!

Are you certain just us girlz didnt put on the fix?

Very suspicious indeedie.....

stop please everyone...before we get carried away

Fencer: that is a childish thing to say and Im not saying another word on the subject...
Let your loyal subjects decide for themselves...
Is the option "remove from this pond" available.
I will have to start using it:)

BerniceC: Is it really so difficult to understand that I could have more important things to do than to make a move in a pond?

Fencer: EXCUSE ME I wasnt complaining...I was asking WHY join if you dont bet????
In this case you are the guilty party and until it was brought up by Arctic Warrior (who is getting an easter egg )no names were mentioned....I know you are busy but you have been on in the last 24 hours since this prize pond started....why couldnt you make a move, and if you had no intention...why join?

and I have read your rules and here it is for you...
***7) Every player who does not make the first move (after the run is started), automatically falls to the pond along with players who use the least amount of points.

***

again you had 24 hours....why join if you had no intention of betting:(...sorry Fencer...I know it is your site and you can do what you please, but it does take away from...in this case...Arctic Warrior

BerniceC: You should read the rules first, before complaining.

BerniceC:

I didnt read the post below LOL
I was to mad and just wanted to post my issue hehe
A non bet (or ZERO) should be the lowest and not take anyone else out (unless they too have ZERO)

Just my 2 cents

Arctic Warrior: Im sorry too Arctic Warrior :( It was this Pond to which I was referring below but I didn't want to mention names (Fencer)...I think you should be reinstated, but at this stage it would cause a furor for sure...Send me your address in a PM and I will send you a nice easter egg :)....as a bonus prize :)

Pedro Martínez:

Well grrrrrr

Arctic Warrior: 7) Every player who does not make the first move (after the run is started), automatically falls to the pond along with players who use the least amount of points.

Why did I fall in the pond with 12 and Fencer had 0 ?
http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=152

Why do people join a Pond and then when it is started they bet ZERO therefore falling in...Is it to keep others out or is it genuine forgetfulness? whatever it is bloody annoying :(

http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=91

I thought for sure I was a goner in this one.. I was last in line..

cool :oD

Stevie: yes actually I am but not under the BerniceC moniker ROFLMBO....
I was invited to join that Pond, so I did :)

Yeah, no offense either. ;-)

Eriisa: You dont trust me??? Innocent lil ol me??? geez LOL

bwildman: Agreed

shouldnt games be discussed AFTER their played? no offence to anyone....but to me,discussing the game while its running seems a little cheeky.

Eriisa: LMAO

LOL, then again, never mind. If ya'll told me to bid 502, I doubt that I would trust any of you guys.

no, Stardust, I figure it would help us get back on track. One we 'dump' alesh, it would be every man for him (or her) self.

Eriisa: Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the 'game'?

Eriisa: That's the whole point of the game.

I think there has been someone that bids over 500 each round anyway - not a worry for me. :-)

sounds like we should designate one person to bid 501 so that we don't a bunch bid high and waste points.
