Chaos: I always play to the death. So if you want to play 'first line hero' against me, I promise I won't resign

dAGGER: Sure we all play to win

But why not change the set up to increase the personnal challenge against a weaker player.

After all they don't know what you are doing, and by the time they do, it's too late

The achievements are just a bit of fun on the side.

Chaos: Yes, I think the espionage achievements are good.

Notably the 'First Line Defence' and ' Rear of Secrets' are excellent, both encouraging a different line up and increased risk. Yes going for them, but won't tell you which games ;)

It will take time to get 100 mines, and like you, never target them (unless desperate ). Even now, I still have to get the 'Successful Sapper.'

Have a count of 7 out of 100 on capturing undetected pieces, so nearly a tenth of the way there!

Welcome to Sandoz who has joined us at BK.
We will see a shake up soon at the top of the BKR rankings page

eric_hanson: Hello Eric, hope you had a good sabbatical and welcome back. The SL'ers are slowing appearing at the top of the BKR ratings for the espionage games. Expect to see you there very soon too!

Thad: If you use time per move, does the option 'No days off'' not prevent vacation days from being used?

If using Fischer (time per game), then a 5 day move limit without vacation can still be set up, as the bonus and limit options can also be set to 5 days!

Nothingness:
Preference would be for either Open Fast or Small Fast. Not too bothered about time limit, but probably 5 - 7 days good for most.

Tournament: I'm in :)

Pond: Thanks for explanation of pond. Didn't realise it was a game in its own right, rather a style of tournament (sounded good, that if you beat them, they fell into the pond!!!)

Fellowship: Nothingness, thanks for invite to the espionage freaks fellowship.

Laters, Mark

Vikings:

So we could create an SL fellowship, run tournaments, team tournaments, and have a dedicated discussion board?

Have been playing here a short while, creating games in the waiting room, and challenging those who have created games. Have played enough games to see myself in the espionage BKR list (like a ladder?)

But still can't fathom out much of the stuff here. In honesty, haven't had the time to read up on it all....

So what is a Pond?

Have decided not to renew my IYT membership, instead spent my hard earned money on a membership here!
