Fencer:
What is with the BKR for ponds ?

Fencer:
o.k., thanks

dear fencer, first pond ranking is now o.k.,
but in the other pond is something wrong (look
3 x 8. and 2 x 11., but different rounds this player fall)
http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=28
I think so:
8. furbster
8.Arctic Warrior
10. zockerdotcom
11. Backoff
12. Mach machovic

There is a bug in the ranking of the player, fall in the pond. In this pond
>http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=41&trnst=3

I fall in round 15 with bet 0 but BBW fall before in round 14.
So I must second, and no two seconds !
I have this also message in the bug report.

P.S. http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=28
Also not correct: Ebru is 6. not 4.

Stevie:
I have finished 6 ponds - but no rating :-(

furbster, Pedro Martinez: thanks for your interest

BIG BAD WOLF:
Thanks BBW. I would prefer Advanced Pond.
I am not sure, can this game work ?

grenv:
Thanks for your answer. The name... o.k. Lets give the game another name.

My good idea (I hope so) to make an Antiponds-Game (posted 10.01. 12:08) become 2 short answers; no test game.
But about the nonsens, to have a solution, to win all pond games, there are 100+ news and testplay. I don`t understand this.

EdTrice:
A big pond (like Pedro`s, you sign) is also a big advantage for a player,used math./stat. methods. You are clever.
But lets have a pond with 3 players/20000 points/no bonus.
A theoretical win is very "easy", you must only bet between the other two bets. But how ???

Eriisa:
Bry means over safe high bets.

BBW: LOL

Bry:
This is an easy strategy:
1. you beat with the tricky 590 the normal high bets
2. in the next round, it seems not usefull again, to overbet 590
so you can hope, that all get low
3. the tricky player gives in the next move 150 and get the next bonus.
(590-500+150-500= -260)

and two rounds no risk, to fall in the pond...

sometime this works.

Dear fencer, dear pondsplayer. I have a new idea for ponds (named antiponds).
The basic rules are the same. But one reduction. The first bid is without reservation. But the next moves have this cut: you can only bid equal or less then your previos move.
Bonus is not given.
So the first bid is very important. If you bid 1.000 points or less, you fall fast in the pond, because you are must give the lowest bid.
If you bid 10.000 points, you stay longer, but soon you have not points left.
I find, this can be a very tricky game.
Dear Fencer, what do you think about one test game ?

Fencer: Can you please make a possibility to go through the pond games backward (to see the previos moves; the hole history of the games) ?

@Fencer: it is not good to make an option "resign". Example: if one player have 0 points left, anybody think, he must set 0 points next round - but he resign!
