Something's rotten in the state with forbidden things.

"the only list of forbidden things can be found on the User Agreement page" - Glad to hear that...

Yes, Londo came with this proposal, I am aware of it. However, the only list of forbidden things can be found on the User Agreement page.

That's what Londo told me..."It is forbidden to delete posts that somebody replied to".

Pedro Martínez: I deleted his post at the same time it was replied to. According to what you say , if someone posts inflammatory remarks ,the post should remain if someone responds to it?

Pedro Martínez: Not forbidden, only non-recommended. But there are situations which don't allow to leave some posts on boards, even if somebody already responded to them.

Stardust: How come you don't follow one of the main rules of the discussion boards? I was told by Londo, the Global Moderator, that it is forbidden to delete posts that somebody replied to.

Czuch Chuckers: Your posts have been hidden until Steve is back online.

aww my post doesn't make sense now..

the government is the servant of the people. Therefore it should let us get the bonus.

Chuck...I deleted your post as I found it offensive and it was baiting. If you have a problem with another player might I suggest you PM them instead of using this discussion board.

Sure thing.

Fencer: I did, but was worried about the "english" part...does she understand english? she has the MOST beautiful dogs i have ever seen....cant read her site but are they Bichon Frieze? (sp)...the dogs :)
please ask her for me the Size(chest) in inches and her address :)

BerniceC: I am afraid Sinay doesn't read this board, you should PM her instead :-)

congratulations to SINAY on winning my 2nd T-shirt pond :) please forward chest size in inches and your address and I will send the shirt :)
bad luck Pedro :(...you may win the easter hamper :)
thanks to all who entered in the spirit of the game :)

grenv: I repeat, I will play this pond as if it was a normal one.

Stardust:
I agree with you it's just a game.

I played by the rules as well, just not according to the description.

Pedro: If you are staying, are you bidding between 0 and 10 in the next round?

It wasn't very clear in the description, I almost missed it and bid higher, Many people don't read the description because they already know how to play the games that they are joining, It would be best if people would put the description of variations in the title, I had the same questions as Pedro and was going to ask for clarification, but since I played by the rules, I don't have to worry about that anymore

I would like to let you know that I'm not betting 0 now. In my opinion, it's Daniel Snyder's fault. It should have been mentioned in the name of the pond that the minimum bet is 1 and maximum bet is 10. "Min bet 1 Max bet 10... Who is going to be the winner?" in the pond description is NOT enough. First, as you can see, not many people read the pond description. Secondly, there are people at this site who do not speak English. And thirdly, I doubt all the people read this board and I'm 100% sure I will not be the only one of the people who didn't "abide by the rules" in the first round who will not bet 0 now. And lastly, are the players in this pond supposed to bet 1-10 nly in the first round or during the entire pond, in all the rounds? Poor job, Daniel.

I repeat, I will play this pond as if it was a normal one.

It's just a game...no need to get nasty.

and i feel fine by the way

done.

grenv: You can spin it anyway you want to make yourself feel better. But the bottom line is that the description is right there for everyone to see when they sign up and everytime they play a move. Anyway all you have to do is go bid 0 and you will be done with this one...

Discussion? I never bother with the discussion on the ponds. Also I think making up your own rules is silly and deliberately avoided thoes with such rules in the title.

This would all be moot if Fencer would just allow us to select our own starting value (& bonus)!

The pond in question: http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=126&trnst=10

Czuch Chuckers: Everyone falls into the pond - NO WINNER!

nobody gets the bonus.

What happens when/if all players make the exact same bid?

Frog diving #1

Czuch Chuckers: Which pond??

BIG BAD WOLF: Well, the descriptions are there for a purpose.... I agree that a special game like that could have some mention in the title as well though :)

Here is a list of people who did not read the description of the pond that they signed up for....

Maxxina, Grenv, Nothingness,Hannelore, Fra, pedro, Stromovous, Beach, and Lindaw4.

If all of these players will bid 0 next round, we can get the game back on track?


Grenv.... how much more obvious do you want? It was posted in the game description, and also in the game discussion.

I just looked at that pond (not in it myself), but I agree with grenv - Heck, I don't think I've ready 1/2 of the descriptions of the ponds I entered!

And I might add well over half the entrants didn't follow the rule. So..

MAKE IT MORE OBVIOUS NEXT TIME!!

hmmm...... well, unlike other ponds the silly rule was not in the title. I will drop out with zero this round. I wouldn't have entered if I had known.

It looks like you have a lot of work to getting people out of your pond who did not follow the rules... I think you should PM everyone and have them all bid 0 in the next round to fall into the pond. The rest of us can bid 1 next round, and then normal moves after that... I hope you can get this all worked out.


PEOPLE PLEASE READ THE POND DESCRIPTIONS THAT YOU ENTER, IT IS VERYFRUSTRATING WHEN YOU DO NOT!

Sign up for CindyinTN's On Golden Pond! I won't push you in....

BIG BAD WOLF: Oh, I guess you must have just recently done this? Thanks!

If it's my Pond game, it is because I changed the time to a time that is already past - should start at about 5 after the next hour.

(Once I see at least 16 players signed up - I start the pond!)

There is a game waiting to start that is -2 1/2 hours ready to start. It is for a minimum of 16 players and a maximum of 20, and there are 18 already signed up.


My question is, why doesnt this game start already? Since the minimum limit has already been met, this game should have started. Is it a bug in the system? It shouldnt have to wait for the maximum limit to be reached to start, should it?

Pedro Martínez: You will have to ask her yourselves.. I have no idea.. I was just as surprised as you all were..

Maybe she was confused.. ???? *shrugs shoulders*

MidnightMcMedic: LOL...yeah! thats it!

in the most delightful way[hehe]

bwildman: no it was a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down lol

ScarletRose, Chuck: I would like to know why Hannelore bet 1200. Any ideas?

"a little bit of sugar makes the merrygo go round"?

Czuch Chuckers: It's called Luck Chuckers!! *sticks out tongue ~ blthhhh*.. So there!!!

ScarletRose: Hmmmmmm.... I agree with Pedro.... very suspicious bets on that last round!

Are you certain just us girlz didnt put on the fix?

Very suspicious indeedie.....
