will you finally do something about that flaw in the tournament logic ?
I mean - uhhhm neat that you think the one who loses is qualified, many of
my opponents would support that *grin* but that does not fix the reality problem ... ~*~

that's the way it is ... as mentioned, inessential if a valid direct comparison exists. ~*~

spammo attacks are just another problem every game server suffers ~*~

Another Flaw in the Tournaments

Simply said, an SB-Value is often pure humbug in small groups, Much better to
take the direct encounter as first choice - if just two are level, the one who won
the game between them, should rank higher (for that time) - beyond any doubt. ~*~

direct comparison decides naturally, that's why it's handled that way worldwide but here. ~*~

if just TWO are level, and one defeated the other,
he's beyond ANY doubt better that time, that group . ~*~

what about the flawly tournament logic ? (23. July 2004, 16:56:54) ~*~

perhaps bk.com, poetry, books (wink wink) or similary appealing ... 0:)
perhaps preferably with a trigon moderatorship, us/aus/eu ... ~*~

oooops - sorry ... 0:) ... ~*~

has had a few hickups, here too ... ;) ... ~*~

I'm really bugged by provisional ratings ... 0:) ... ~*~

I thought it is a feature - to show what provisional ratings are worth. :D ... ~*~

for the new 'outbox' feature - finally the sender owns an original as well ... :) ~*~

I must not say on what bodypart I focus while dancing ... hehehe ~*~

grumble grumble grumble grumble !! ... :P ~*~

I had to start with 1520 after four wins and it took me half a year
to 2500, although I left mostly the strongest disassembled behind ... :D ~*~

especially as only three are listed ... I refrain from comments to GI vs Nomad ~*~ 0:)

i.e. untouchable personal copyrights - so brainking does well avoiding that nonsense. ~*~

<I just feared it might come to depending on puter skills or money whether
one cAn cheat here or not ... - I am comfy with my ratings anyway ... :D
although I'm "one of the worst gothic players here" (quote GI) I have
defeated all 'his' aces and kings from that silly gothic deck as you know ... >8) ~*~

like Antje and Anders - or possibly ALL my coworkers. ~*~

ok I shush - I know what you mean but let's keep some secrets covered ...
two of the other spots are handled by default though by the service ... :D
still the question remains why discriminate big families and biz routers ~*~

Some elite proxies don't even tell you they are proxies, fix virtual IP.
It is standard service - $25 per year - for geeks like me free ... :D
still the question remains why discriminate big families and biz routers ~*~

discrimination !!! wahhhh !! neglect ! :D ~*~

of course you CANNOT determine from which computer I play unless I want you so ...
- please fix the diffuse parts of that loose draft, since it cries out for abuse while
honest couples in the same household get into twilight without anonymizer. ~*~

why the flipping heck do I exert to find a politically correct word
for spammocrap if this has no edificational impact on you altogether ? ~*~

I see the well known offtopic specialist at work again ~*~

I offer my services of moderating that board. I'd like Usurper
as co-moderator, maybe Whisperz yet for a full orbital watch. ~*~

Sending a certain type of private message should deprive from the
right to be a moderator. Gothic times are outdated since centuries. ~*~

where basic algorithms are shared ... if you have access to the
Fred Fish Library of the Amiga Community, I'd recommend you
try out Mathlab from 1990 - it comes with an extra floppy full of old
Fortran sources - fancy implementations partly and, highly accurate
- fairly easy to transcode them to Pascal later ... ~*~

how to grow best ... :D ~*~

(and teared up by silver goals)

in via new.brainking here - works smoothly ~*~

a new default warmup time of 3-5 days is just right.
actually there's a lot of games/replies pending yet,
even from Fencer - he had endless requests for sure.
We helped with patience ...
3-5 days in return for a startover seem appropriate. ~*~

I spare my appropriate comment about that
like it did, before to not 'touch open wounds' ... :(

Bet it will be debated yet.

What I'm glad though to comment
:) *Happy Birthday Filip* be there
health and luck in a new year of your life.

Luck which is not needed altogether btw to ensure
data-losses remaining in between the range of one day ...
oooops ... anyway - grrrrr ;) ... ~*~

no maneuvers !
heading straight in, guns blarring ...
- no prisoners either ... 0:) ~*~

I second.

So I have some days yet for resolving most cases
privately before I even start to bother with requests ... :P ... ~*~

in a two-games match I should resign the first game
that I lost - is a resign only inflicting the one game or,
will I lose the whole match then like it would happen at iyt ? ~*~

their apology from yesterday is still valid I guess,
not only slow loading (on 1.5mps) also lots of errors ~*~

Maybe a temporary catch of reason could be
to create a brainking down hateletter board ...

I admit it's not easy for me either to look at
the brainking page now without tendency to nausea.

As again perhaps only the biggest nerds are
granted to draw advantage of a data-crash like
it happened the last time ... no need to name.

For a serious, competitive player it's just worse case period
while those who are here just to share their neat reviews
of history would be comfy with any chatroom.

But it's the day after ( dejavu ? )

Fencer is worn out most likely and, maybe
just Captain America yet would perform then
full of patience and composure, when commenting.

There will be still some workout,
the bk neon sign shines again, after all ... :)

please take it that your one-arm bandit did
not freeze at jackpot during the power-outage :D

and po-lease you very few nohew try to be sportsmen this time.

Good evening America, good night Europe - uhmm and good morning Rod :P ~*~

kevin: I absolutely disagree ... flattered eyes are part of the fun.
in the 80s the amiga chess v1.0 featuring only letters like N for
knight and so on, surely was fascinating regarding its relatively
high strength ... - but it was not appealing.

in japan even the sound of the go-pieces, when placed
on the boards, are reflected as essential part of the joy ...
we call that attitude 'sensitivity' ...

checkers graphics: our KM experts are called out here - but I know
there is a lot of freely usable (if credited) artswork circulating ... ~*~

Does a rollgenerator@brainking.com 'know' to which game it delivers or,
are the rolls 'purchased' anonymously by a separate messenger-program ? ~*~

*melt* but psst - couldn't I rent that effect for personal use ? :D ~*~

ahhhhh - much better ...
whoever fixed it, Fencer/Liquid or Father Random, thanks ... :) ~*~

somebody please look at this game and tell me I don't hallucinate ...

try two moves back and forth on ... hyelp ! ~*~

the brainking rules of backgammon are readable. and even if the
bk-logic would allow violating them, I'd surely not consider doing so.

but the questionable exception-rule is not written down, instead
only hoovering in somebody's assumption which seems odd here
where I live ... (to correct other assumptions met) - details about
(as repeatedly pointed) cAn be viewed at the backgammon board ... ~*~

here we have different rules, some even insist you cAn not put
more than 5 stones onto a single tacken and call that professional ...

it's a manner of agreement period.

for me people not respecting my free choice which die to use as first are
basically alogic - but I don't oppress and call them clueless or (ugh) amoralic ...

as for monopoly, to have adjustable rules should be possible, big deal ! ~*~

you're wrong not only at which board to use for your objection,
as already mentioned - there's a debate from several weeks ago ...

and here, indeed it is allowed ... rules are
a manner of agreement and not of a personal view ... ~*~

I agree ... 0:) ... indeed I second the best wishes for our czech coders
and - as a sidenote - also for the underpowered mirror-industry ... ~*~ :D

<actually I agree that envisoning the future of bk boards like them
of IYT is frosting ... all those people who know exactly who is so
bad for a site and are so concerned about. btw those too who cannot
stay to a subject without winding up to inessential personal attacks as
it recently also happened here, at the feature-request board ... >:) ... ~*~
