playBunny: just to clear things up ... im not accusing you of anything infact im just agreeing with you on the point you made to yoyudax about connection speed ...it makes a hell of a difference. i know cause it takes me 12 hours to make the points you do in 4 ...lol

playBunny: well im not a computer expert so i dont know about the latest new technology /tricks.cheats etc. in any case i have high speed connection but still the max speed i can achieve is 5-7 moves per minute depending on time of day (actual connection speed) but i have noticed you being able to make upto 15 moves per minute and at first i wondered if there was some sort of cheat involved as i heard someone here on doscussion boards mentioning something called autopass which im not aware is exactly what but now i guess i can just assume that your cable in GB is 4 times better than whats average in the US of A. i guess all our technology is being wasted on fighting nonsense wars

i have fast paced ludo games in the waiting room if anyione is interested

playBunny: thankyou. good luck to you too. i only hope to be in top 5 people. 1 year membership is great enough :)

the good thing is that a win only gets you 2 points so that shouldnt make much difference anyway and make it worthless to exploit that since its easier to just make 2 moves . this is great. i am energized now

Fencer: God bless you and thankyou very very much

yuppee. what do you mean by retroactive?

The Badger: it must be early morning in your part of the world.

i believe that a nice person always gets his/her reward in the end ( not talking about this competition ) and i believe that no one is perfect in this world nor is the world itself but if you try to do the right thing , God will reward you. God bless fencer for his kindness.

even i am stuck in a tournament where im done with moves but it will take weeks to find out if i advance to next round or not.

i feel sorry for fencer because he went out and offerred free membership prizes and i think that is very very noble of him and instead of being praised for it its become a headache but it cant be helped since there are always people in the world who take advantage of every situation first chance they get.

playBunny: you assume too much bunny ...lol

here are 2 suggestions. if there have to be 4 ways to get points then leave the new account points but put a max of 5 or 10 new users at most and also all those accounts should remain active for a week to be counted. secondly points for wins should be restricted to tournaments only. since pawns and rooks are in defferent categories it wouldnt affect anyone in the competition even if the points for rooks would rise dramatically versus pawns who can only join 1 tour at a time.

playBunny: that is true playbunny if you go and get 20 new REAL people to join the site. if you open 20 new accounts yourself posing as 20 different people just for the points , how is that beneficial to fencer or the site?>

well there are always loop holes no matter what we do but i personally think that the best thing to do is remove points for boards and dont add points for winning because then there will be some sort of illegal way to counter the limits and again the same problems ... also i think we should remove points for reffering a new registered user (pawn only) leave the points for referring a paid user. this is only a suuggestion but i think the best one to avoid loopholes (not calling it cheating anymore) but i do like big bad wolfs ideas in general chat but only if they can be done in a way that there are no backdorrs to get points and i dont think that is possible to be honest no matter how strict the rules are .

and yes like playbunny said , no points if one person resigns at any time in the game

can something like this be done that the game wins only count if the game is set up in the public waiting room and not a private or personal invite and like big bad said , only max 2 games per 2 opponents per day?

Fencer: ok . thanks for letting me know. guess i should try figure out how other people are doing it ...lol

Fencer: i dont know how changes are made but if you have to get ridf of all everyones move points again just to make change and even though i am on top i still dont mind because then atleast no one would cheat. thankyou again.

Fencer: ok thankyou very very much

Fencer: with 2 points per board once an hour , even if 10 different boards have new messages every hour and if someone stays up 24 hours to read all 10 boards every hour , that totals to 2 X 10 X 24 = 480 and ofcoarse no one can be here 24 hours at least no day by day. since its summer holidays , ive been here 15 - 16 hours daily and reading boards every hour and the max points i got were 200 something. kotDB has openly said that there is a bug and hes making points to prove it but besides that there are other people now who have 400+ points for boards per day ..i noticed few people sahar , the lamer , luisifer and peca. my question is can we please please get rid of points for boards so that everyone gets points for making moves. that way i think there will be no cheating and points would be fair.
