I have been saying for over 2 months that this person has been tring to win games by upsetting people so they will resign their games with them. In AMENTTY board we have a boat tourney that has been going for some time. And this person is the only 1 left to play any of the games. But said my peace about them again so off to my corner I go. TYVM for ur time every1.
:o{P 22. októbra 2004, 18:31:05  exactly Stevie - and with auto vacations set, it will be a welcome result once things do settle down that when they get back on-line, their games will still be here waiting for them. 22. októbra 2004, 19:21:19 I mean in those circumstances, who cares if games time out??
Its bad enough waiting for the likes of yourself and kevin amoungst many, who wait till last day to move...just because you can...just for the auto thing to act also. What is tghe use for having game time limits now??? what a crock 22. októbra 2004, 19:38:38  I think BBW's example was an extreme circumstance, but it gives the idea of the kind of thing that can happen. Life happens, you might be called away for a couple of days to help with an ill friend or relative. You might have computer problems. Anything may happen. I know of more than a few occasions where people have asked Fencer to add vacation days on somebody's behalf because they are unable to get to the PC. I have asked Fencer to this and I know I'm not the only one. As BBW says, ANY system is open for abuse, and all you can do is avoid these players. 22. októbra 2004, 19:41:09 To avoid these players means you lose out though. You have to pick and choose tournies etc.
I say again...WHAT IS THE USE OF A GAME TIME LIMIT NOW???????? If it is set to auto, then they will just move when they feel like it, not within times. Its just another nail if you ask me 22. októbra 2004, 19:43:22 But Stevie - if they did not have the auto vacation set up, they could as easly set the days manually.
It's not like the system adds more vacation days, just uses the ones currently given to all users. 22. októbra 2004, 19:46:03 Exactly, so they will run out of vacatin days, and they are only hurting themselves really. if they use all their days as emergency auto-vacations, they won't have any left if they actually want to go away for a few days! 22. októbra 2004, 19:46:42 I know this, but setting a vacation is at least doing things properly and obviously.
Why should I wait 30 days on a 2 day game, just cos someone hasnt come back for a while? I still say, cos its an emergency thing, there should be a limit of 2 auto extensions at most. 22. októbra 2004, 19:47:13 no Harley, they are hurting me and others 22. októbra 2004, 19:47:55 I am playing one person who stopped moving in games he is losing. He admitted later that he is trying to move his rating up as high as possible.
This is an example of how these vacations can be abused. In my opinion there are too many as it is. 22. októbra 2004, 19:49:04 Subjekt: But don't they lose more points  the higher their rating is, when they lose? 22. októbra 2004, 19:50:29 grenv - well he is only hurting himself - if you have a choice to lose now or lose later, it is much beter for your ratings to lose now, then to wait until later. (At least that is what I have been told - have not done the math yet) :-) 22. októbra 2004, 19:53:05 It's only hurting you if you let it bother you. 22. októbra 2004, 19:56:47 Steve - you can keep on complaing about an option which is abused by a few, but the truth is that it can help the majority. If we get rid of everything that can be abused by a few, then why even have a game site if people are just going to abuse it? Maybe we should just get rid of BrainKing.com? 22. októbra 2004, 19:57:32 Its really hurting you? I really find this hard to understand. I don't even look at games that isn't my turn. They'll move when they're ready, and I have plenty of games to keep me going until they do move. How can it hurt that they take their time moving? 22. októbra 2004, 19:59:42 I pay to enjoy the site, not have dictators.
Thats what is happening. Im being dictated to by morons/ awkward buggers etc etc how my games go. 22. októbra 2004, 20:01:57 I only like to play a few games at a time, I'm not smart enought to play 123527 games at once, so I do notice. 22. októbra 2004, 20:03:19 ditto. why take on more games. then struggle to keep up, or spend all day on here?
Some of it is due to players taking on more than they can handle too 22. októbra 2004, 20:05:26 Nobody is dictating to you. The rules have been set, you have to learn to live with them.
grenv, you seem to have a genuine problem with this. It seems you've already contacted the person who is holding your games up, I'm sorry but if they won't move any faster there isn't much you can do except try to avoid these people in the future. Are you in the Quick players club? The people there generally move fast. 22. októbra 2004, 20:07:28 indeed i am (in quick players club).
I am not losing sleep over it, just bringing up the point that these rules can easily be abused. 22. októbra 2004, 20:07:41 and in the quick message answering club :) 22. októbra 2004, 20:08:10 most rules are ok though. game time is a rule. why have it now? no one is answering that 22. októbra 2004, 20:11:16 Quick players club is a joke now. When super slow players are in, knowing full well it is for fast players only and when confronted on it keep playing more games meant for fast players yet take a week or more to move! 22. októbra 2004, 20:12:26 Because, Stevie, even people who want to abuse the auto-vaction can only do it 30 times! And then they lose all their vacation days, and they can't avoid timing out, and if they want to go away they won't be able to set any more days. 22. októbra 2004, 20:12:32 Subjekt: Nobody is dictating to you. The rules have been set, you have to learn to live with them. no one dictating???
So were we all asked if we wanted this addition? or did just a chosen couple want it, so hey presto 22. októbra 2004, 20:15:05 Yes, a chosen few wanted it. Fencer and Liquid. And last time I looked, they don't have to ask anyone before adding every small detail to their site! 22. októbra 2004, 20:15:50 nope, i remember the suggestions made on feature board 22. októbra 2004, 20:17:42 On the other hand, won't the auto-vacation feature make players more willing to play 1-day-per-move games, hence resulting in faster game play? 22. októbra 2004, 20:21:12 I've never said I have a great memory! Feature requests is just that. People suggest things, Fencer & Liquid add what they like. I don't remember many objections if this was mentioned at features? I could be wrong though so don't jump on me for that one! I think most people would be glad of this if they ever needed to fall back on auto-vation. As was said earlier, for the majority its a great addition. Of course there are always a few who will abuse it, as with anything. But overall, it will benefit most people. 22. októbra 2004, 20:22:26 and of course you are right ;o)
nice when goal posts allways move isnt it :o( 23. októbra 2004, 01:03:07 One point not yet mentioned (I think) is that these people are not away with an emergency, they are here...
I like auto vacations too, for emergency use. But maybe it could be set to only work if a player is not on the site? If they are here and purposly not playing games that are due to time out, the auto vacation should not be kicked in. Personally, I dont think any vacation days should be valid if the person is on site. If you can accept a 5 day limit game, and you are able to get on site, you should have to play your games at that limit, period. 23. októbra 2004, 01:16:59 hence..the words abused upchuck
but i dont think its worth mentioning anymore cos obviously the managements minds are made up 23. októbra 2004, 01:42:19 especially annoying when its against a pawn :( It would only need 1 player to do this and hold up a tournament we are in for ex. Or 20 players to do it and we have no games to play 23. októbra 2004, 01:44:42 Scooby, Im sure youll be told..."get a membership" so you can have more games etc. But thats not the answer is it ;o)LOL 23. októbra 2004, 01:49:33 I dont want to talk to you. Ive been warned things 23. októbra 2004, 02:18:57 Subjekt: scooby and others Most of the time Stevie and I don't see things the same way. But on this auto vacation crap. I do have to say Stevie is saying most everything I think is right on it.
So on the 1 or 2 day tourney, if a person has not takin 1 vacation day all year they could hold a tourney to make it last for 1 turn over a month. Yes as it is now that the way the rules have it but is it really being a true sport about the game? ok puff back to my corner I pop. :o{P 23. októbra 2004, 02:20:20 hear hear. Finishing the tournament is the fun part. If you time out for whatever reason then enter the next one. It's not the end of the world. 23. októbra 2004, 02:21:56 but the thing is, even without auto vacation, that same person can hold up the tournament for over a month. 23. októbra 2004, 02:27:09 Thanks Loup :o)
The diference is BBW to set it manually means they have to go out of their way to do it. Whereas its easy to sit back and let an auto thing kick in 23. októbra 2004, 02:31:21  I agree that auto vacation should not be allowed to be used on games if a person has signed into the account at any period , and even if it does kick in a maximum limit of 2 or 3 days should be allowed . 23. októbra 2004, 03:04:24 I dont think it is that tough to see... If you are away from the site, automatic vacation days to prevent time out is fine. there should be no limit to it, except for the amount of vacation time you have left. If you have logged into the site within 24 hours (or some specific amount of time) of a game being timed out, the Automatic vacation should not be turned on for you.
I think we all agree, it should not be used to add time to a game when a person is available to make a move. 23. októbra 2004, 03:13:14 Subjekt: Re: Stevie and others It is just not a right attitude. Once there is a feature which people do find useful from time to time, it should not be abolished just because some others abuse it. Such an attitude would lead, then, to a "tyranny of the abusers", because BK would be further developed with respect to preventing these from acting abusively and not with respect to helping us all to have a good gameplay.
Do you see my point ? 23. októbra 2004, 03:32:11 Once more LJ shows his true self. nose covered in the brown stuff etc. Whats wrong?? you want rid of someone who shows you for what you are???
I see you signed on with both accounts LJ you should shut up and play both sets of games. ooopps sorry, you said its your wife momentarily didnt you before deleting the commenet LOL I guess your post below wont stay long either. 23. októbra 2004, 03:33:55 << < 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 > >> |
