Pedro Martínez: I think this is a brick wall situation :(

I would like to have this explained. The description of your tourney says:

6 Month ROOK Memembership
FOR
The combined total of the most games WON by the same PLAYER that they entered in all the games in TOURNAMENT
So the more games you enter the better chance you have of winning

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

HAVE FUN AND ENJOY

NEW NOTICE
As problems have arised in tournaments.This is a most games WON Tournament.If you are not entered in at least 10 games you are going to be removed.
Sorry for the NEW RULE
THIS IS DUE TO BKR RATINGS

I would like to know whether the prize winner will be a) the one who wins the highest number of ALL games played within the entire tournament (E.G. if I win 10 games in battleboats, 8 games in pente and 2 games in linetris and nothing else, the combined total will be 10+8+2=20) or b) the one who wins the highest number of particular tourneys of which your tournament consists (E.G. if I win the battleboats and pente tourneys and nothing else, the combined total will be 2.

eagle eye: The names of 5 new team tournaments are taken from labels of red wine bottles I've just found at home :-)

Fencer: LOL he he your better get cloaked Fencer i can see what you are doing.LOL,,,,I kind of see a game challange from Wolf there LOL

Fencer: I didn't know that red wine helps to think, LOL :) how many bottles will do the job? LOL!

Fencer:

Battleboats Plus: "Just Try To Sink Me"

Small Espionage: "The Mini Spy"

- - - or - - -

Fast Expionage: "The Fast Spy"

BIG BAD WOLF: I need to buy new bottles of red wine first, in order to get names for those tournaments.

Would love to see a new Battleboats Plus team tournament (6-8 players per team.) - Since both the dark & Plus team tournaments are complete.

Would also like to see either a small or fast Espionage team tournament (small 4-5 players per team). Have had a regular Espionage team tournament, but never a small or fast one.

The subject is closed

Beg pardon?

Don't fuel the fire trice

THE HIT MAN: sorry thats all part of playing games You can't win them all

Umm... I disagree.

Please answer, I am not the only one who wants to know.

Rose: No, you are right, but it wont be long before this gets out of hand. I've asked for calm beforew the storm... that's all.

Bry: I dont think asking for a tournament to be explained as being off topic. The tournament runner is refusing to clarify the terms of his tourney.. Not fair.

I think this needs to "Chill Out"........

If there's an issue between users, we dont need to see it publically...

THE HIT MAN:


1st: Would you please read my post from 20:27:41 cet and be that kind and enlighten me?

2nd: Would you please read Bernice's post and then the mine following the hers again, click on the link I provided and try to think at least for a while?

Pedro Martínez: In your dreams buddy.I suggest you go to tournaments and check.Also you are banned from any of them.

BerniceC: Yes, it's this one:

Pedro Martínez: Has the prize been provided?
I notice that THE MOBS OPEN GAMESalso one of HITMMAN's has 2 prizes offered (I think)but there is a notation on there from Fencer to say that the prizes havent been provided therefore the tournament would not be started....

MidnightMcMedic:

I think that further discussion of vacation days should go on either features or members board, its getting away from tournaments.

Pedro Martínez: I think bry and me pin pointed that fact.Its down below on sheet

THE HIT MAN:

Duh where are you trying to take this to

Duh I'm trying to find out why you don't like vacation days but still use them yourself. It's kind of a twisted thinking, don't you think?

furbster: I think THE HIT MAN's point is that you shouldn't care about timing out in your games. You can't win them all anyways...

Pedro Martínez:Duh where are you trying to take this to

you need them because you cant be here 365 days a year hit man, its a good feature!!

THE HIT MAN: Why do you use them when you don't need them?

Pedro Martínez: Well i don't need them.I also notice that you only have 14 days left.The topic is why do any of us need them for.Or is this site considered a work place not a game site.

THE HIT MAN:

This is a game site not a work place.Why do you need vacations for.

I would like to ask you what do YOU need vacation days for? Your profile says that you have only 17 vacation days left...I would expect 30....

Bry: sorry thats all part of playing games You can't win them all

THE HIT MAN: I went to Bulgaria for a week's holiday one week ago. Without the vacation/autovacation, I would have timed out (and lost) numerous games.

Bry: This is a game site not a work place.Why do you need vacations for.

THE HIT MAN: but using it isnt abusing it. You only get 30 days as a Rook, so once they are gone, they are gone...

Bry: i didn't say it was,but there are members here that abuse it to there hearts content

THE HIT MAN: but that's not bad conduct - that is the site rules. Every user, depending on their membership are allowed to use vacation days, either set or auto, to their hearts content.

Bry:They can still get you with vacation days and auto vacation

Jules: yup

Andersp: They blocked were on your block list and they could still send game messages!!

Jules: The last "cloak person" (=blocked) i played could type game messages

Nothingness: I dont think so. The only way round it to to pay that litle bit extra for a Rook Membership - that way you have no restrictions.

I understand some people may be unable to stretch that little bit further for a Rook Membership - alternatively I would suggest only enter tournaments with a 1 day time limit?

im certain that this has been asked before. But why do you have to wait for all tourney games to be completed before a next round can be started? Especially if those games are between players who have no chance of advancing to the next round? This only holds up the tourney and prevents entry into other tourneys. Also Many players in a few tourneys arent finished any games yet whereas other have been waiting for a few months. it is feesable that you could wait years before ever entering a tourney type again even with a membership, waiting for players to finish up their games. Ive been waiting for one player to complete games since i joined a few months ago, i won the round very quick. Adn have gotten multiple request to join specific tourneys. but am unalbe to until my tourney has ended. Is there any way around this?

Jules: I believe game messages are immediately blocked.

What happens if you put someone on block in the middle of a game(s)?

Purple: thanks- yes, that would be cheating. Proving that would be kind of difficult tho.

I personally don't think comments made in a game should affect the outcome of who wins the prize. It should be based on the skill of the player, no matter what they have to say. I just ignore them too, and for me, amyways, when I beat someone who's trying to give me a hard time, well the victory is all that much sweeter : )
But it's easy for me to play without letting what someone says to me affect how I play.

THE HIT MAN: That's a tricky one, some could fake it.

THE HIT MAN: right, now we understand what you mean by "Bad Conduct".

My opinion - I would just ignore them. They have as much right to play in the tournament as anyone else. However, if the comments are much more are rude, threatening and very personal etc, then I suppose it should be brought to the attention of Fencer privately either directly or through the GM's.

Just my opinion.

Bry: OK comments made in game playing its self.Are offending to some,which can throw them off and possible for that game and there remaining games that they are playing until they get over the comment which was used on them.Its works well and does affect ppl as we all Know

baddessi: The use of more than one nic in a tournament should disqualify the player.
