Does anyone remember the big discussion about guarenteed win using some mathematic formula? The game where that was to be demonstrated is finally decided: http://brainking.com/fi/Pond?g=10 And no i was not playing the moves for Trice. I wonder who was?

furbster:

oo nifty new pic bry lol

Fencer: On the Ponds winners list, can you add an option to view % of ponds won against number entered as well as the number won?

Fencer: *phew*

cant you make a list with people who played ponds but never won ??? ... hmm .. on the other hand .. maybe that would be a list you dont want to be on ;)

Hrqls: Me neither :-)

ARGH! another list on which i am not .... *cry* :)

I will add it to Profiles as well.

Now I see it, thanks

It's in the same place as the tournament winners list (just 2 options near top - tournaments & ponds)

Link for "Winners" on menu under "Team tournaments", and above "Ratings"

Fencer, thanks for the upgrades, will there be a link to the winners page somewhere besides in your previous message?

BIG BAD WOLF: there's something wrong with the points left history, I had one game that showed that I had 1 point last round, received the bonus and ended up with over 800 points

I see that Irishrose had 2900 last round, and bet 2900 - which should have given her 500 bonus, but ended up with 5,000 bonus!

Irishrose had 7400 points and bet 2900 in the last round, that's why she has 5000 points now. It's more than probable that she's going to bet 3100 now.

was suppose to read <2401. need to add >

Why????????

grenv: Oh, right. Good point. ;-)

Thad: Because 2901 is net 2401, and most bids were 2401. 2901 would have been a stupid bet.

tonyh: Here's a link:

You are right. She had 2900 and bid them all, got the bonus (why didn't anyone bid 2901??) and should have 500, not 5,000.

I think something curious happened here; Irish Rose went from 2900 in round 9 to 5000 in round 10!!!! what happened, Fencer?

"NOT ME" I only have 1

Who wanted the winners?

WHATYEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA*
103*

You can see old rounds now!!! ;-)

BIG BAD WOLF: Is it better now?

Universal Eyes:
Acctually,it's open to all pond addicts.lol

BTW, as someone who got his first pond bonus yesterday, I say let the messages stay!! ;-)

Thad:
That mean when the first 25 ponds are over,whoever entered them can join a prize tournament in the ponds for a (BRAINKING T SHIRT of there choice.Fencers already agreed to the idea.

grenv: That is the thing that bothers me - if there is that few people left, that information is sitting right there for me to look at - don't know how I could miss it.

... I can understand if 10+ people are left, since the last person might not be on the same screen as I am and I might miss something.....

Ugh... i just can't believe i did something so stupid - which is why I REALLY want to look at past moves in pond games since I've seen similar in other games - just usually I don't mess up that bad. :-(

BIG BAD WOLF: I was wondering about those two high bids. Most important data is how many points opps have left isn't it?

Nice try on the 509 furbster, but I was pretty sure someone would bid a few thousand.

BIG BAD WOLF: Which game is this?

furbster: That is kind of what I guessed - and to make it worse, the last person bid like 3000 - so I did not even get the bonus! Yea.... Ugh.

Note to self: Always take an extra 10 seconds to look at everyones total, and make sure no one had turned into a pawn.

BIG BAD WOLF: irish rose only had 500 left BBW so 4 bid 501, i bitd 509 to try adn sneak the bonus... you sure mucked that up lol

BIG BAD WOLF:


I would be a "World Class" Ponds Pontificator!

BIG BAD WOLF: Your gonna have a headache

Universal Eyes: What is correct? Your words do not make a sentence.

Thad:
That's correct Thad,Maxxina that is also correct.

Thad : what i think , when the 25th pond is finished , who got some points , can enter this pond

Universal Eyes: "Rules are once the 25th pond is completed it will be started,upon the completion of that specific pond is finished"

Um, what?

WHats the prize ? :]

I've created a prize tournament for ponds.

A WHAM BAMS PONDSIDE OF POINTS!!!

After the completion of the 1st 25 ponds,all members with atlest a point will be eligible to join.

Rules are once the 25th pond is completed it will be started,upon the completion of that specific pond is finished
