Subjekt: Re:Ratings and resetting
playBunny: Another way to look at it is that some people have artifically high ratings because they understand how BKR's work. But after playing many games I think the ratings level off. You might be able to get a high rating, but you can't keep it if it's artifical. I think a reset will be abused. OTOH, maybe I'm missing something. having played in the USCF for a long time (for you chess players out there) I can imagine if a player asked the federation if he could start over in his rating. They'd ask what he was on! ;)

playBunny: People will do all sorts of things. Resetting one's rating isn't right no matter the argument IMO. ;)

Subjekt: Re: has anyone ever thought of this before?
playBunny: It's cheating because if you go back to zero, but you're a 2100+ player, you qualify playing in the lower rated tourneys, which you are likely to win. That's cheating. ;)

Subjekt: Re: Automatic Vacation, and too many games
Pioneer54: I agree with this. It's a bit frustrating when I meet the conditions of the time controls and then my opponents get to use the auto-vac as a cover in case they time out.

Can't games or tourneys be set up where auto vacation can't be used?

playBunny: lol :) But the only way to really know what a FS or DB is like is to simply read the posts. In fact, that's really the only way.

And yes, I must rejoin if only for the smilies! I can't stand trying to look em up all the time. Fencer is one smart cookie!

Subjekt: Re: Fellowships activity
playBunny: I don't see that as 'useful' but more 'useless.' I hope we don't get into having too many features. It gets kinda silly after a while. Why not have a group of numbers after each name too. We could record the number of hours they are online, the number of words they have posted for the week, and the number of post made overall. ;)

has it ever been discussed about having the ability to delete a game after you accept it or whatever within the first few moves?

Subjekt: Re:
Lamby: Some would, some would not. It wouldn't hurt to have a FAQ that covers the repeated questions as long as no one gets upset if people still ask. Many like to answer the same questions even if over and over.

We could have a "Questions and Answers" DB that people could post questions to.....and even the same question is welcomed over and over.. :) People like to help.

Subjekt: Re: Majority
Czuch Chuckers: Actually Chuck it's not a true statement. A majority is a greater number of two parts. 25% of BK (part 1) are from the US. 75% (part II) are non-US. The majority of BK players are non-US.

I've looked at a half-dozen sites and a majority is over half of the total. I think that the problem is the misuse of the word majority in our culture. But your point is still not missed. The US may represent the highest persentage of players from a single country, but not a majority of players on the entire site. :)

Subjekt: They work the same way Walter
And while you might not need them, (want really) others do. Although it's more like a discussion board really. Not much in the way of real debating takes place on either board. The uncensored touches on politics too much and the debate board typically stays away from politics. And for good reason. You can try it, and if it's not for you just quit. No big deal.

He has asked for it to be taken to another board. Maybe he would agree to join us and go over the objections and put it to rest for those of us who felt left out of the original discussions.

I'm just answering Walter's questions regarding the auto-pass feature. :)

And Andersp: not cause "cheating" but cause "complaints about cheating."

"It could (and likely would) also cause many many many complains / comments regarding "My opponent is cheating." "

:)

Subjekt: Walter go here for more info
Auto Pass discussion

in a nutshell the reasons given are as follows:

1. The inability to chat between moves
2. The board can change substantially in one move (confusing to new players) 3. It "likey would" cause many many many complains / comments regarding "My opponent is cheating

Subjekt: Auto-pass
I can accept it Fencer. But it should be noted that it was NEVER discussed and it's inaccurate to say some wanted it and some didn't. How many is "some?" We will never know for sure but it's more accurate to use the word "few." This site has lots of players that never offered their thoughts. No poll was taken. It was NOT a "split" decision. And I think it unfair that the excuse for no autopass is that people were split. That is not accurate. Bottom line is Fencer says no. That's the only reason. All other reasons given are misleading or untrue.

Artful Dodger 
Subjekt: One could ask
why are you fussing over our fussin?

It's a dead issue. Andersp was right all along. I should've listened.

There, I said it. Andersp was right, and AD wrong. :)

15. apríla 2004, 21:05:28
Artful Dodger 
I looked. The reasons seem silly to me. Having the "option" seems the smart thing to do. It seems that a few don't want that feature for themselves and they don't want it for anyone else either. Oh well. Please, no offense to anyone is meant.

Back to the games!

lol that explains it well bumble :) I'll look it up.....

Neither can I. Sometimes I'm stuck on the bar and a week later my opponent moves and I'm still stuck...it goes on too long sometimes. Even so, if I'm stuck on the bar, I see no sense in taking my turn only to find I'm still stuck. Have you ever had a situation where all the slots are blocked? I have. Many moves later....I get out. woopie... All that time could be saved with autopass.

Subjekt: I think this may have been covered before but I've missed it.
Are we going to see autopass in backgammon and if not, why not? :) thanks
