Assunto: Re: FAQ
I think that the option should be there where the players should be able to choose whether only the overall score counts, whether each game counts or whether both count towards ratings.

I think the only time where I would say it was unfair for the higher player not to lose ratings points for losing single matches in a series is with tiemouts but with the vacation feature here I would think that would be unlikely to happen.

Also, there is the danger that high rated players would only play series if the current rules are in place as they know they will proably win overall against lower rated players, making it harder for players to gain ratings points.

Also in the real world, players accept that ratings tend to balance out over a longer period of time with good results balancing bad. As the site on the ratings system says, if you have earned your rating over a greater number of games, the occasional loss should not affect you.

Assunto: Re: legal moves in backgammon
the thing is, if you are going to have a game, you should have the correct rules, they are rules which the majority of sites and players in the world follow.
So we should not have the illegal move, nor should we have draws in rated backgammon matches. I always figure if you are going to do something you may as well do it right :-)

Assunto: is this something new?
I just logged in tonight and found a new thingy above my game list, its highlighted and green and asks me if I wish to sign up for a particular tournament, is this a new feature, are we going to have lots of these appear on our game sheets, and if so can we choose not to have them, or only have the ones in the games we play? please? :-)

Assunto: Re: legal moves in backgammon
as previously mentioned no need to convince me :)

I still beg to difer on simply going
with the majority and call THAT correct.

If I want to play a dice game I insist
on the correct way to roll it ... *grin*

that's why I don't play net-gammon,
but I'm no missionary to disrecommend it ~*~ ;)

Hi I hope nobody minds me putting this on this board :o) This will be mainly for people living in the UK but ofcourse everyone is welcome!!!
A few of us have decided to meet up at Alton Towers this summer (possibly August) so we can meet in 'real life' :o) Playing & chatting here is great fun & a lovely way to meet new people & make friends. If anyone is interested in joining us for a great day out & to actually meet each other, please message either myself or Paula28. We still have to confirm a date, so once we find out who is interested in coming along we can try & set a date to suit everyone :o)xxx

I don't see a thing wrong with Dakota saying how happy she was on THIS board. Considering all the rhetoric you and a few others have added to these boards in the last few days. It was good to actually read a 'nice' comment as opposed to the negative ones that are filling up these boards of late

I think I'm gonna like this Gothic Chess, though I don't usually play variants...

Great site!...The only thing I don't like is the "last action" for each player being shown. It's kind of like Big Brother letting everyone know where you have been going....Perhaps it can just show when "last seen on site", or "last log in" instead of exactly where on the site you are/were?

Just my opinion....

Rose 
Assunto: Re: Jet Boys discussion
That is something I somewhat agree on as well Jet Boy.
I'm not too fond the "last action" info myself. Perhaps if there was the option to turn that feature off as part of the membership package or even change it to show logged on at such an such a time/logged off site at such an such time.

And you are right.. this is an awesome site! Fencer has worked hard for us all and his efforts are clearly showing.

Thanks again Fencer and double KUDOS!

I cant see where Blaze was rude. Earlier on people were complaining about posts here being non-Brain King material and she pointed out the general chat room. I see after she even supplied the link to get there, nothing antagonising was said and no rude language used...she even gave a smiley face:) No reason to attack based on that...lets live and let live and enjoy the games.

I think some people are getting confused between a Chat Room & A Games Site ----- This is a Games Site !!!!!
People come here to play games, meet people & make friends (hopefully).
Fencer has given people a board that they can chat on to there hearts content & not disturb what this site is here for.
Lets all just be happy & have fun....

Assunto: 'last action' option
when deeply reflecting I don't like it either.

although it was quite funny to watch 'my' well known backstabbers
from iyt instantly starting to spin in the background after my first post here,
(exchanging messages means calling the other one's profile ) :D

actually I don't want either that opponents know which
games I review to get some tips about their usual tactics ...

the big-brother objection is also understandable.
maybe a more general display would do it like
'viewing games' - 'viewing profile' - 'playing' - 'inactiv'
and so on. inactive could cover the automatic refreshing,
if there's no action appearantly for half an hour. ~*~

It is always indicative of one who has little to say when he relies upon remarks of the nature "I have a Life." It is usually uttered by those who are not good at soemthing and are jealous of those who are.

anyone who is alive has a "life." oh, and TTJazzberry, maybe you didn't hear, but the personal insults and snide remarks were moved to the general chat board.

Grow up TTJazzberry. your childish insults are pathetic. by the way, using the first three letters of my name to spell DIM--Wow! Brilliant! that has only been done by a few dozen simpletons before, and now you cna add your name to the list. Congratulations. Anyway, shall we continue discussing this on the general chat board? This discussion was supposed to be about the "last action" feature, which you used instead to slam danoschek. We all seem to agree that the feature is not needed, albeit for different reasons.

I've looked at the petty comments on the board and very seldom comment.I left another game site because of negative things and thought this would be different.Not because of poor customer service, but because of rude remarks and just ugly behavior. It seems to be wherever you are.Such a pity, but in these trying times, I want my money to go where my tax dollars will help our troops...Buy American and America works...Who cares if you win a tourney or not as long as we're free.....

I'm Canadian too and really appreciate my freedom and quality of life even more when I see whats going on over in Iraq. Its sad to see their people going through that and hopefully life for all will be much better when the bombing campaign is over and Saddam is gone for good.

Assunto: Re: Jealous?
ha ha ha ha! TTJazzberry should do stand up comedy! I have to laugh out loud when I am called "DIM" by him, given his 1 win and NINE losses. That, and his inability to find the general chat board as he continues to post here instead. TTJazzberry, why don't we continue this eithr in private or on the general chat board?

By the way, to answer your question: "Ever wonder WHY a few dozen spell it that way?? and he calls ME the simpleton.."

No, I don't wonder why; I know why. They spell it that way because it the best "insult" their limited intellect allows them to come up. It usually comes from those who have no gaming skills and no debating skills, such as yourself. Maybe when you get your second Big win you can come tell me about how DIM I am again; meanwhile, maybe you want to check my 27-3 record before implying I am dimwitted, just to save yourself future embarassment! Hey, I am just trying to help you out!

created as loser-ID to advance the stats of his main opponent, blazeinshore,

the successor-ID will be recognized by lowlife obsession again.

been there - seen that ...

even if I should be wrong, much better yet
as his kind of providing old and refuted hoaxes

I shall quit speculating though - it's not my problem and, I'm not Sherlock Humbug.
