Czuch: Holy crap! You're not kidding. It's why I didn't join it when it was announced.

playBunny:   Fully deserving of a Super Snail achievement award.

Czuch: they have played about 120 moves in 5 years... that works out to 24 moves a year, which is about a move every 2 weeks... unfathomable - almost impossible given the 7 day limit.. they literally have to almost wait until the last second on every move!

grenv: They have played 120 moves a year, but they are with two, so that makes 240 moves in the games. 48 moves a year is almost one per week, throw in some vacation days and the calculation is correct.


Oh my, it's so ridiculous ;)

Czuch: There's also this one. Started a year later (Oct 2006), but it's the first game in a 3 win match.

AbigailII: yeah, and i notice it's also 120 moves, but only one game... glad i didn't enter an anti-bg tournament.

grenv: Oh, it's not just anti-backgammon. That tournament has dozens and dozens of unfinished games, all-most all of them involving one of the players of the game I posted a link to.

AbigailII: My last move in this tournament was in March 2006. I am collecting a pension now. In those days I could afford to be a Brain Rook. I might not even be able to afford an internet connection by the time this tournament is over (lucky I have been eliminated already)

pgt: There should be a way of passing your current tournaments in your will... could end up having your grandkids finish the tournament for you. Maybe someone not even born yet will play the winning move years from now. :)

The tournaments of the fathers shall be visited upon their children, unto the seventh generation!

grenv:

grenv: Great idea. I have made an appointment with my lawyer and will do the update on Thursday morning.
