I'd like to be banned too. Would you please ban me for one week?

PS: Many thanks in advance. (I won't be able to thank after the ban, will I?)

ughaibu: This is not the forum for tablut discussion. I am simply asking that this board remains on topic so as not to have things get out of hand.

ughaibu: Please take this to the appropriate board.

Fencer: Cool :o)

The rating system for the pond games is still in a test mode. I'll try to do some experiments next week.
Anyway, no results will be lost and everything will be calculated from the very beginning.

STOP

lets do as Stardust asked and get back on topic

ughaibu: Yes.. called looking in the mirror

Let's get back on topic,shall we?

I was about 13 LOL

I got Bronze medallion Ug and used to swim competitivly...so me also LOL

Ed, sorry..you are hidden for 48 hrs for conntinue-ing after being asked not to

EdTrice: as Steve posted , it is a general post.

because its a general statement

the only post ive left is a general one. Please do as Stardust requested

Anyone who posts a baiting or aggressive post from here on in will be hidden for 24 hours.

EdTrice: Im not... you havent played a game yet.. so thought you would need to start with other learners :o)

EdTrice: Just to be exact, you are not a paying member, you won the membership in my prize tournament.

EdTrice: Nope..it was not aggressive so I will ask again

Ed...will you be joining your own tournament if you started one called that?

Mely: OK :o(

Stevie:

Actually I would also like to request to lower the limit of players needed to start a pond.

I would like to see the 16 player min. be lowered to lets say 10.

EdTrice: Is the pot calling the kettle black? Just who started the dummies and why can't they take a little ribbing?

Stevie: Nice!

On my hard drive.

i'm serious Stevie.....

LOL

yes, usng the spreadsheet, it would be a guaranteed win...

would you join it anyone?

We need a "Ponds for Dummies" option, starting a pond with 4 points.

BIG BAD WOLF:

EdTrice: I believe Fencer has that planed - to have an option of how many points to start with.

Also have an option to have different bonuses - ranging from none to 500.

At least that is the last plan that I have heard.

Walter Montego: Yes, I agree I will have to be more clear next time. But, like Grenv stated, in a normal game the minimum bet is 0 and you will always be out of the game with a zero bet. I just thought it was self evident that a bet of 19,000 was the same as betting 0 in a normal game, and you should be in the pond.


And Stevie... yes a minimum bet is okay, just as a bet of 0 in a normal game is okay, it just means you do not continue in the game.

Walter Montego: Walter, I think you missed the point. Let ME try to be simpler. In a normal game 0 is the minimum bet. As such, any bet of 0 is perfectly legal. Also it will guarantee you falling into the poind. I am saying that in our game 19000 is the same: perfectly legal, but guarantees your exit.

Instead of a minimum starting bid, maybe there can be parameters set up to change how much everyone starts with.

If everyone has 1000 at the beginning, that would be the same as a "minimum 19000" bid to begin.

Then you can just play normally.
