The Sunshine Club needs 2 players yet for the Backgammon team tournament. If youre already on a team and wont be playing, we'd be happy to have you. I just like to play, I dont need to play to win, because this game has a strong luck factor, and even the lowest ranked team can win!!

so, even if you have a low BKR and your 'team' isnt using you, and you want to play, I have room for you!! lets have fun!

The Sunshine Club needs one backgammon player and 2 froglet players for anyone out there interested in participating in the interfellowship tournaments set to commence in 2 days!!

Arpa: Congrats on winning your 500th tournament

Im available to join the Small pente team tourney but cant decide which fellowship--anyone need another player?

The Badger: you have 2 choices.. get out of the tournament, and join another (and risk that happenening again) or pay for a membership, then you can join as many tournaments as you want without worrying about slow movers! (and you can see the cute smilies)

i dont think Arpa has done anything wrong. as he stated he is playing within the guidelines of the tournament, and if he times out then its your win. if its only a 2 day tourney as you say pgt, he will time out! I say sign up for more tourneys then you wont notice one or two that are waiting!

i, too, have a bunch of games with Klokan and he hasnt timed out.. thats his perogative to use the amount of time alotted. :o)

there are many tournaments for pawns to enter.. but thanks for answering for mclaudio :)

anyone interested in playing Jungle or Nackgammon or Battleboats Plus in the team tournaments.. The Sunshine Club is looking for some players for those teams.. come and sign up!!

which tournament is that mclaudio?

ooops, deleted posts.. :o)

yes, no 'autokick' as you say, im sorry i made your BKR go down. you can try and win a few and see if your rating goes back up and rejoin the tourney?? :)

the creater has the option to kick out anyone he/she wants :o))

thats OK Redsales.. we've got our tank battle team!!! thanks anyway!

*editing to add Redsales IS on our team!

thanks :)

redsales-- we can use you over at the Sunshine Club :)

anyone wanting to sign up for some tournaments, there are a few minis and a few regular tournaments created in The Sunshine Club!

5 hours to team tournament start time.. is anyone else excited??

The Sunshine Club needs players to sign up for the following tournaments:

Dark Chess
Corner Checkers
Anti Chess

set to start as soon as there is a minimum of 4 players for each game.

Good luck and have fun!

Bernice---start the second round.. you cant prevent it from taking the maximum amount of time allowed, and then a winner can be declared :)

Lydanthe-- maybe you can have those 2 players play a tie breaker game. have one invite the other, and then the winner would be declared, although on the winner's page for that tournament, it will list both as winners.

LOL.. do you keep that info written down BBW? its an impressive record!

Fencer: Can you check this game for me. For some reason I only see 5 white pieces on the board.
Same for my opponent. thanks

i like the fast start games too!! :)

(and if you want to be on the winning side, join at The Sunshine Club).. teehee

here here Whisperz, well said :o)

im playing over 500, and my BKR's (except in backgammon which im only learning now, and have to let those creep up) is over 1700, and some in the 1900.
i agree with backoffKM, if the site works , i can mow through the games in little time, but the frequency of the site going down makes it difficult to get the moves completed, i go in the same order as backoffKM, those with the shortest time limits i complete first, those with 2 weeks or more per move, will wait.
i give the game the thought i feel it requires to make moves. since i dont play chess or tablut, it isnt a problem. if a move require more than 30 sec. of thought, its ok with me if i lose it.
its a site for fun, and if my ratings drop, its not because i have too many games, its because i didnt think carefully enough, and thats my own impatience, whether i have 5 or 500 moves :o)

ok, im going to put in my 1.5 cents worth..hehe
i read Eriisa's message twice, peacepickle, and didnt read anything condescending? maybe it could have been gentler, she was just pointing out that sections arent complete in that tourney, she wasnt taking pot-shots at pawns.

second---(hope i dont get in trouble for this ;o)--) as far as the Gothic tournament for $3000-- i agree, no way can we stop cheaters, i dont think the revised idea about a sperate pawn tournament with a seperate paying member tournament and then the winner of each going to the finals, will make much of a difference from the original set of rules.... what if the pawn is another paying member using an alias pawn? that could be you, Gothic, it could be anyone.

i honestly considered joining, though i've never played the game, played only chess as a youngster, so have only rudimentary skills, but for the fun of it, not hoping to win... especially if Andersp (my husband) could join too, just to track how good or bad we both are doing, for fun, certainly knowing we wont win money. we do that now in all other tourneys, we love this site, its so much fun!!!
the options are wonderful (for all the tourney games til this Gothic one)... and im one of those ive read complained about, who have like 200 games... (personally i have over 500...hehe) and its my right... and i can go as slow as i want, if i time out, then its my own fault..(i havent timed out yet) so i dont like when people comment that there should be limits to how many games you can have.

I think, though, in commenting about the Chess tournament for $3000, that Gothic has the right to write his own rules... so therefore, only one in this household can join. its fair in the eyes of the rules, but its not nice to 2 paying players.
