Fencer: Then my only question would be if the little boss becomes the big boss if the first big boss is inactive for 30 days (or another set period of time). Is that a possibility?
Of course it is a tough subject, but people pass on or simply stop playing at BK and leave a fellowship to fade a way, this would keep fellowships alive instead of having a multitude of 'dead' fellowships like our fellowship list contains. Hope this option is possible. ;-)
This is a joint Feature Request / Fellowship Discussion piece. What happens to "dead" fellowships?
From that, I would like to propose that if a Big Boss turns to a pawn, and does not renew their membership status after a period of x days (say 30), that the fellowship is:
A: Up for grabs to any member. B: Given to the next manager of the fellowship. C: Given to a prearranged member the Big Boss picks.
Does anyone see a problem with this idea? I think it could revitalize some of the fellowships that have all but died off.
Do you like to play line games or want to learn? If you do, you should join the Official Lines Fellowship! We have line teams for almost every game as well as tourneys coming more and more! Sign up if you would like to join for teams, tourneys, lots of games, and the chance to better your game!
Hrqls: This actually what I meant. A fellowship for people to meet other people that play at a specific time. For instance 18:00-24:00 Zulu time. Evening in Great Britian, Afternoon in the States, and a late shift for those in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Something like that is what I was thinking!
harley: I considered it! But I just created my own lines fellowship less than a week ago, and would like to see that become a success with enough players on each of the teams to have tourneys running consistently... maybe stairs... People playing, learning, teaching about line games. That is what I would like to see. I want to keep/get that going before starting another...
Jules: My point is so you can play a fast tourney, or play a stairs game in one sitting... that sort of thing, instead of always having a tourney that extends for weeks... It doesn't bother me a bit, I just wanted to get that idea floating out there, someone will love this idea (others have already said they like the idea, but don't want to be BB, I am the same way!) and create it. My problem of not finding people to play is being solved as more tourneys I have signed up for start... I have almost 60, and by the end of the week... maybe 100! I can't wait until I can jump on for how ever long and just play for an hour and never have to wait for a person to play...
Andersp: My point is not to create teams... this is more a fellowship for the discussion board use... sort of like the Debate Club, but instead, this is for each time zone area. For example, the America's would include the U.S., Canada (all 11 of em... LOL JK), Mexico, Central America, and South America. Europe and Africa would include just that, Europe and Africa. The Far East would include members from east Asian, Southeast Asian, and the Western Pacifica islands (including Australia and New Zealand). I know the first two would very much be a success, as for the Far East fellowship, I don't know if BK has the members to support it. But my point is that these 2 or 3 fellowships would be for finding opponents that play in the evenings when you do! You could even figure that if you are from the states, and wanted to play people in the morning and early afternoon, you could go the Europe/Africa fellowship and find opponents their! The reason... because most people play in the evening. Look at the "Who is Online" page and you will see mostly European flags during one time, at another time you will see mostly flags from the western hemisphere!
I hope this makes sense! It makes sense to me! When other people see it too, someone will create the fellowship! Will it be you!?
While conversing in a game with Rose, I came up with the following idea... if anyone is interested, feel free to run with it!
I think there should be a fellowship for people to find people who are in their resective time zone areas (the America's, Europe and Africa, the Far East), there could very easily be two of these fellowships created, one for the America's and one for Europe and Africa, and the third (the Far East) could be... The point is; I sit here this evening, with lots of games, and hardly anyone playing. Why? Because they are all in Europe and have played their moves and gone to sleep! So, I figured, why not a fellowship for people to find other people that are on when they are... Hence, this idea. I know that you can go to "Who is online", but why not this in addition?
Well, I decided to make a lines games fellowship. If interested please join! I would like to eventually do some tourneys within the fellowship, as well as possibly team tourneys against other fellowships. This is a place for members who like lines games (all but pente, for that join redfrog's fellowship!), and want to learn new tactics/techniques, play games, and possibly play team tourneys! Check it out!
BIG BAD WOLF: I thought of that too... I would really be interested in setting different line games teams, and playing other fellowhips. I think I am just going to check out different fellowships, see what works, see what doesn't work, and eventually I may start my own. We will see! :-)
