Tigger: Correct ...I had the same experience many times ...you always think the opponent got more doubles than you but in the end it isn't . But with these players ...mmm... dunno ...but they always got the right dice ...always in any single game ... people can be lucky sometimes but not always . I can't imagine how they could cheat but it is very strange . They are very good in skill games but meanwhile they are lucky in any single dice game .. Golden boys or what ????? :)
bouncer: I'm not sure it's possible to cheat on BK when it comes to controlling what the dice do. The dice rolls are controlled by the program on the server that Fencer is in control of. I know I have played people who seem to get just the right rolls but I don't think they are really doing anything except being very lucky. They probably think that of me when i get the perfect roll.
I remember once when my opponent kept getting doubles. Tons of them. I got ticked about it but didn't say anything. After losing the game I went back and counted the doubles. Turns out, I had more doubles than my opponent!
Family Man: That might be a good suggestion but when I create a tourney I want anyone to play . I will not exclude any BK player except for those 2 (let's say 3)...so I think it's better to throw them out just before the tourney starts
alanback: I will not mention their names on a DB cause otherwise I got a lot of american moderators or "would be "moderators over me again (story of my live ) lol but I think that people who play on BK for a few years all know who I'm talking about :)))
Eriisa: The dice wont work from time to time but there are these players for whom the dice always work even at the last moment ....when I'm sure to win a dice game (finally) one way or antoher they got double 6's or whatsoever and they alway always win .....it's sickening...I know this can happen but not day after day, week after week, year after year ....
alanback: I know but they are always winnig whatever we do. And they do in any game ...not only with dice but even in BB games. They never miss a boat ...I agree that in some games it's all about skills (like chess, mancale, reversi ....) but I'm sick and tired about some players who always (day after day, year after year) win any stupid "luck" game as well ... that's not normal ....they have to buy me a lottery ticket
bouncer: I am sure that something like what you want is on Fencers list of things to do. But sometimes these features get lost in all of the other features that Fencer does.
It doesnt sound like anything that would be difficult to implement though.
Family Man: There are some players I will not play anymore ...during the years on BK it seems they can not lose any game ... strange but they always get the right dice at the right time .... I'm talking about 2 or 3 players but they always appear on any tourney . So when I got those guys as opponent I resign the game from the first move . I'd like to see a possibility not to play those players again ... even if I block them they always appear on tourneys :(((((
bouncer: The only thing you can currently do is just remove them before the tournament starts. That is wait about 10 minutes before the tournament starts, then manually remove them. They will not get a message - so hopefully they will not re-join with 5 minutes to go.
Does anybody knows if there's a possibility to exclude some players from tourneys we create ? I know we can create tourneys with players allowed tioll a certain rating but what I mean is to exclude some players by name ..f.e. players who always win any game (cheaters I mean)
tippyc: The next round will always be at the stated time.
So a 3 day pond, everyone has to make a move within the 3 days. Even if everyone makes their move in 1 day, it will still be 3 days before the next round starts.
Eriisa: Sure I did ! Just uncheck that option on your settings page and browse some discussion board, like this, for example, and you will see the same. In some posts you will see those pictures, and in some other posts (especially in those which were modified), you will see *numbers*. Try it
trohat: I wonder if you would see them half the time because the rich text edit changes the star number star to <img> coding. I bet you'd see the html coding and not the * number *
trohat: it always used to show smilies for me, but when i got my membership (thanks madmonkey!) it showed them about half the time. i checked the settings and found that show smilies wasn't selected. i dont know if it was selected or not before i got the membership
Eriisa: I do now, too ... it was because of Show smilies option in Settings ... but what I don*t understand is, that I saw most of them although didnt have this checked ...
All: Do you see smilies in message from or2ak.com from 16.8., 13:11:14 ? I see just numbers and stars ... It happens to me from time to time, that in some message I see just numbers and stars and other messages with smilies are ok. Is something wrong with my settings or is it the same for everybody ? Especially that Firefox smilie in that or2ak.com message is so lovely, and I cannot see it
Well I was just playing a game of Triple Dice Poker, and thought I would share how I went from having 2 rolls to it being my last roll. After my first roll, I selected a dice to re-roll and I accidentally double clicked on the "roll dice" button, and it went strait to being my last roll - skipping 1 roll. (I can hit "back" on my browser, and says I have 2 rolls left - hit forward on my browser, back to all rolls already taken)
Anyway, I wanted to mention this because I remember others complaining at times that they "lost" their rolls while playing - and double clicking on "Roll selected dice" can explain that issue.
Binabik: The only thing that I can think of is if they did have vacation days set (which of course we can't see now because that time has passed) - but you said they did not.
As of almost 4 hours ago, the server time in on "Saturday" - which is that users weekend days, so if they are still gone when Monday comes around, and I can see they have no vacation days set - nor auto-vacation set - I would like to watch to see if their games then start to time out or not. (And if not - then a bug is the only thing I can think of.)
... not that I don't believe you when you said they did not have vacation days set - but I always like to see it myself... and I did not look at the profile until "Saturday" flipped over.
Could someone tell me why this game keeps on renewing after the time runs out? This has been happening all week and this player is not using auto-vacation days, nor regular vacation..... Backgammon (Alfo vs. Binabik)
Could you do us a favour and fix it that in fellowships if you put someone on hide it actually works, as last I knew it only worked in the mod squad nowhere else.
rod03801: I'll pass this on as an interim solution until a better can be found. She says she also plans to post her problem in the WebTV f/s and hopefully get some help there. Thanks for the tip!
The Usurper: Highlighting the area where the text would be, should at least show the message. Not the best solution, but it's SOMEthing. (Highlighting it as though you are going to copy and paste it)
In a recently published article on the brainking.com site, you claimed that the so called browser named « firefox » is not only better, but, quote, 14,341 than our product, Internet Explorer.
Now, unless you are prepared to demonstrate to an independent expert how you calculate this ratio, you may expect to hear from our legal department.
Sincerely yours Bill Gates
P.S. Sorry to hear about your coffee. You may deduct the value (0.25 cent) from the legal costs. B.G
