i still stick with what Ughaibu said...if I dont like you, i can put you on my enemy list BUT...i must say why.....example :- "sorry but you posted something derogative about me and I dont wish to speak to you again...no games either"

Now I would point out at this time that "a member" had a tournament going and I informed him of the fact that if i was placed up against a certain person I would resign the game and not even attempt to play it... this person was already on my ignore list.....
surely there is an option or a code that could keep "ignored" people away from the people that want to be "ignored"???
god im sounding like i dont know what im talking about LOLOL....prolly dont hehehehe
does anybody understand me ?

So the person placed on an ignore/enemies list is the 'plonkee' and the person doing the placing is the 'plonker'? :)

Lythande, are you proposing that anyone you place on your ignore list have ALL their posts hidden from you, over ALL boards, andnot just personal and games messages?

This deserves to go over to 'Feature Requests'.

Although an interesting question in re Fencer, I disagree completely with reasons and a copy sent the plonkee. It goes along with the other suggestion I agree with, which is to change the name of that list to 'ignore' list. Sometimes you just want to read a board without having to scuffle through the 47 posts of someone saying the same thing over and over. You don't want to make them feel bad, and you don't have any intentions of leaving them on the list. You just want to ignore them for a while. Silently dropping them on a list is a lot less painful than saying, "Okay, you're an enemy and here's why."

no trespassers allowed at The Cave!! If you cnt stay a member...there should be no reason to snoop ;þ

hahahhahahahahahahahahaha well that's for him to know and you to wonder about dear bumby, hahahahhaahhahahahah

As long as he wasn't found wanting at the Pearly Gates! lol

Wellllllllll now, hehehhehehe he didn't need any debagging, he came prepared, hhahahahhahahahaa

Knowing you lot you probably debagged him!

hehehheheheheheh that is so true Bumby, I saw him only the other day mingling with the Angels hahahahahahha

ughaibu: Fencer is omnipotent - all-seeing, all-knowing. He moves in mysterious ways appearing in the depths of the Cave then exalting with Angels...

yes....ughaibu....i agree with that completely...to put someone on enemy deserves an explanation....good idea..

I just noticed I'm on someone's enemy list, of course I could be on dozens but how would I know? anyway, I thought it might be fun to ask that person "why?" but how can I do so if I dont know if they're online or where they are and I cant message them. It got me thinking about the whole enemy environment. It would be convenient if a person when putting someone on their list had to state reasons and a copy was sent to the "enemy".

WOW...now there is a scary thought....how would you tell someone they are RS if you couldnt talk to them LOLOL

Has anyone done it before Fencer?

hahahha....why would you do that???
ughaibu....are you stirring LOLOL

I don't understand the question.
However, it won't be possible to put site administrators to Enemies list in the future.

If, god forbid, a person were to put Fencer on their enemy list would they become invisible and immune from messages as is the case with less exalted enemies?

So if your interested, just pop along to ! Alphabet Soup! Scrabble and have some fun with the letters :o)

Thank you Fencer.....appreciated :)

I think its a cachee thingy, Bernice...
Most likely a WEBTV thingy too...
It happens to me , I am on WEBTV, and powering off, and other usual tricks work well to stop it from happening...

can someone tell me what this mean when you click on a game????
'item chosen can't be used'

yesterday March 16th my time BK was inaccessible all day...I checked with a couple of player on here via email and they said they had the same problem.

If the people in my breaket could send the games back to me faster I will try to move this one a long as it seems that I'm the 1 holding the next round from moving on. AND S O R R Y e1 that I have not been moving faster. But BOSS = WIFE has been wanting more PR time with me...
:o{P``````

This is a copy from tourney board...

Thanks Fencer :) I deleted the tourney just in case it was a bug....if you want me to re-instate it I can...not a problem

Just a reminder that you have until this Friday (March 19, 2004) to send in your entries for my membership competition. Details can be found Here. Good luck to everyone!

The time does change. When setting up a tournament, I usually have it set to close at 8pm eastern US... When I look at it later, it is about 6 hours different. (earlier, I believe). So it seems to switch it to 8pm Czech time, or 2 or 3pm Eastern US time.

Who let Fencer have the flu???? *suspisciously eyes the room*

oh NO! a virus ridden programmer fiddles with the software. hit SAVE!!!

Bernice: I cannot swear on it but it's possible that the time is either converted to GMT+01:00 or shifted for your local time zone.
I will look at the source code when I get rid of flu.

Tournament "calling all reversi players #2"

I set the close off at 16th March 2004 at 1600pm

when i click on the tournament it closes on 17th March 2004 at 00.00.00 time :(
is this a bug? or am i doing something wrong?

When the subsequent rounds of a tournament get underway, are the most recent ratings used to sort the section participants?

It appears that from the $250 tournament that the original ratings used when it first began are being used to sort the seeds for the second round.

Is this the case?

Thanks.

Yes.

Are new pawn accounts accepted at the moment?

Yea, that's a known bug which happens every once and awhile. Once Fencer logs on, he can get it fixed. (You may also want to send him a message since sometimes he does not get a chance to read the message boards every day.)

yes there is 3 of each player there vitalik.. a bug no doubt!

Is it just me? i see everybody listed three times in the table

http://new.brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=2808&tri=9046

And czech time is : GMT + 1 Hour :)

Once a day, bwild. At midnight, Czech time.

how often is the most moves list updated?

maybe just the site hates me sooooo much then LOL

I have been having games re-appear steve.. but not finished ones...

i've had a couple times where in backgammon I move my first piece in a turn, and then after the move the dice turn up from the previous move. I hit the back button to start the turn again, this ussually takes care of it :)

Has anyone else had games reappear, that they moved or finished earlier in the day already (time warp type of thing) ?

I believe the "+ ##" is for tournament that have been "Closed", but just not started yet.

So I'm sure the +176 is just a bug which Fencer should be able to fix once he see's the problem.

I wonder Jason, if you signed for some tournaments that have since been deleted?
I dont know how that part of it all works...but if a tournament is deleted are all references and acceptances also deleted?

Total number of your started games: 227 + 176 (?)

?? i have looked through my profile and through the tournaments page at signed and waiting games but cant find a quarter of these (176) games is there a fault anywhere or have i got 176 games due to be added , if so i could do with finding them all to remove my name from a few .
