MadMonkey: Not a bug, but I think is a good feature. Sometimes a team just needs 1 or 2 more people, and for players who like to play - being able to sign up for that team to play, then possible go back to their original team is a nice feature.

I think there was once a bug where the same player was playing in the same team challenge/match (against themselves) - I'm not sure if that was ever fixed or what came of it.

But as long as that does not happen - it's nice to be able to move teams. (But I would support maybe some kind of limit - like you can't join anouther team for 30 days since you joined another or something)

BIG BAD WOLF: Something has to be done. This player only joined my team recently and i put them in a match against another fellowhsip that started yesterday morning. Then in the evening they leave the team, sign up for another fellowship team and then challenge us to a match as well
Something not quite right about that, if we all did that, it would make fellowship matches pointless.

MadMonkey: your not allowed to leave a fellowhip if you have outstaniding tournament games so i dont see why the rules should be different with interfellowship matches

MadMonkey: Most Tournament/Fellowship games are pointless when people abuse the time limits.

crosseyed: simple answer to that dont invite that fellowship to any more matches
and the question over time-limits you bring up again was well answered on the tournament board not so long ago

imsoaddicted: The simple answer is either the Barinking rules are changed so we are allowed to play for more than one Team of a certain game at one time or the bug is fixed so people can not abuse it.

imsoaddicted: He won't be invited again. And time limits will be discussed as many time as I choose. Especailly 1 hour games that become 2 hours.

crosseyed: actually 1 hr games are 2 hr games as each person has 1 hr

crosseyed: You may say something about the time limits as often as you like - that doesn't mean that they will be discussed. There doesn't seem to be a point in discussing time limits to me - what aspect would you want to discuss?

And how can you abuse time limits? You simply can't.

Mr. Shumway: Yes I CAN mention time limits as often as I wish. It's people like you who discuss it further lol.
If I play a game that is for 1 hour, I expect it to be I hour. Not 2 hours.

crosseyed:

Mr. Shumway: I am so glad I amused you LMAO.

crosseyed: you keep amusing me, thanks

Mr. Shumway: You must be easily pleased then lol.

Mr. Shumway: me to cheering my deary Sunday up

BIG BAD WOLF: I agree with you Wolf we should be able to move about a bit more. What's the point of being in so many Fellowships if you can't join in on some games.

MadMonkey: yes ive noticed at least one member of my backgammon team who is playing in Roland Fantom has left and playing for another team

crosseyed: well if it was a one hour time-out game that person would of timed out anyway

imsoaddicted: Well it apears not on this site. I have played a few 1 hour games where it became a 2 hour game before completion time. I am not referring to the other night where no games were time-out when the site was playing up once again.

crosseyed: i made the point earlier they are actually 2 hr games because each player has one hour

imsoaddicted: Yes but when the 1 hour is over they then have another hour. Therefore 2 hours.

crosseyed: the time out is checked once an hour (as you can read in an article fencer on http://www.brainking.info posted this week)

therefore, when the time for a new move is started 5 minutes after the timeout is checked, then there is 1 hour before the timeout .. but at that time there will 55 more minutes before the timeout check will be done .. giving this move 1 hour and 55 minutes for the real timeout loss

Hrqls: Thank you for that. I did not see Fencer's post. And please note that some people are not what they pretend to be.

Hrqls: The timeout script is ran every 10 minutes (not every hour). So a user *could* possible be down 9 minutes before the script runs.

BIG BAD WOLF: oops you are right ... i was mistaken by the bkr calculation (the position, the rank, not the rating :)) ... thats done once an hour

BIG BAD WOLF: You will only be timed out if it is your turn during the time out check. So theoretically, the game could last for well beyond two hours.

gambler104: Yes, in thery if player 1 plays the second after the time out script plays, and the other player plays the second before it runs again - it could keep running forever - adding up to 9 minutes to the timed out time - but in reality, getting more then 10 minutes would be very hard - 20 minutes would be super hard, and super risky.

WellyWales: The people who make one hour games should label them as 2 hour games, or 1 hour time limit for each player (1+1 for each player = 2 hours for a game) - again, within 10 minutes or so usually.

crosseyed: why don't you go and take care of your own business?

Mr. Shumway: Why don't you practice what you preach?
This site give me the freedom to look around unless people are in cloak mode.

crosseyed: The site also gives people freedom to not move at the pace you want them to.

crosseyed LMAO now that is so funny me struggle to make moves thinking of the 10000+ i made a few days

imsoaddicted: anyway that was my final comment on any subject with you otherwise you go on and on with pointless statements
