Oh, I know what went wrong earlier to mess up this site.

"Yesterday's most active player: Erinity (666 moves)"

The top player made 666 moves!

Thanks Kam

well he's doing a great job!!!

It's part of Fencer's plan - make 1.0 performance look bad... which will hopefully make 2.0 look that much better! <grin>

I've just wore the paint off my F5 button.

Fencer, stop teasing us :)

Technician, Fencer....where are thou art??????? hahahahA

I finally got two discussion boards to show..I have no clue as to where my game list has gone. A mukey white has taken over that page.

LMAO now I'm missing my games :O

ok they are back, just taking forever to load now.

they will come back Backoff...just refresh a couple more times

Hand painted....hummm :P

One hand painted T-shirt in my size shipped free of charge to my address in the US of A!!!!!!

You're playing again aren't you?!!!?

I have new things showing up on my main page and yet all my fellowships have taken a dive.....missing in action so to speak!

lol. I'm still missing my favorite boards and everything else on the right side of the screen.

Things were "greek" to me and there was nothing I could do to work around the site problem.

I think someone must've plugged in BK2.0

wtf is happening here? I think someone slipped me some drugs. I'm missing half my screen :)

yep, me too, and some pages only half loading

wow I just had a Major slow down, anyone else?

Have we entered a calm in a tee-cup?

sorry harley.....io am guilty as well of being cruel and accusational...forgive me

This is getting a bit overheated. Accusations have no place here, Backoff is right, the Boiler Room would be the place for this.

Sure, boiler room anyone :)

Ok, should we not take this to another board?

and he NEVER said he used programs...and incidentaly he wasnt alone

in the past yes...but i know him....i also know the issues with Boiler BB so back off sir

and all opinions are respected Medic....but i must stresss that it is impossible for ANYONE using the internet systm he does to use programs...etc..

besides what proof you have that he is "supposedly" cheating? and of course this is not a place for personal attacks either

he is not cheating Aragon....so please for the sake of the DB give it a rest.

I agree with that BBW, what i dont agree with is Cheaters being allowed to moderate on the board for the game that they were cheating at!! And by all accounts STILL cheating!!

The Moderators of all public boards should have the BAN/HIDE option. (I believe)

NOT only does the renowned cheater aka Checkers Moderator have an acclaimed moderating position (which in itself is sickening) but he also has full BAN/HIDE facilities?? Come on Fencer you are having a laugh right?

but pawns as pawns can't join a fellowship in the first place.. so that wouldn't happen.. it would be a case of allowing them to stay, rather than 'allowing them in'

No, Pawns would (should) never have any of the privledges of a Fellowship.

(The only thing that would happen is their "name" might still be in the list.)

I disagree, because then a bifg boss could allow pawns in and therefore enjoy paid membership priveledges for free.
That is not fair on anyone now is it?

Currently if a pawn is in a fellowship (because of membership gone), I was thinking that they could not read the Fellowship discussion board - and really the only thing was they they could enter a fellowship tournament if they had room... but I'm not sure.

Yes, I agree they should be removed from the fellowships they belong to. (But that would stink if say your membership is late by a couple of days, and then you have to re-join all the fellowship you were just removed from. Maybe they should be left in the list, but make sure they can't read the boards or join the tournaments.)

ALSO, in BK2.0, the BIG BOSS will be able to remove any user they want - so maybe it would be better to just let the BIG BOSS do that type of cleaning?

of course they should be removed.
That is a benefit that should be paid for and how Fencer keeps his money flowing in enabling him toi maintain/improve the site allowing for a better excperience for all users.
I viscious circle but in a twisted waty it really means "kick out the pawns and make the place better for everyone, including them"

Again yes in BK 1.0. Maybe all pawns in fellowships should automatically be removed from them after all they do get a reminder about there memberships expiring.

can pawns even in fact remain members in fellowships ?? what if there's a fellowship tourny they're in when membership expires ?

Nope, can only make another Rook Boss (or Fencer) in BK 2.0 :-)
Dont know about the dreams one though as she is already a pawn there.

In BK 1.0 i think so Niki. I think its different in BK 2.0 or should be. Shall i go and see if i can make a pawn BB of the Madhouse there ?

yes, but as you say, dream actually left.. would she still have had the ability to run the fellowship as a pawn ?

Well 'dream' (Big Boss) of The Dream Team has not been here since June 2003, yet the fellowship is still there. Most people have left it now, but there are a few left.
Maybe the Members of a fellowship should vote on what should happen.
In dream's case she did state she was leaving, but no one offered to take the Fellowship over and she did not nominate anyone.
So i would say, mark the fellowship is "inactive" until new Big Boss candidate appears, and would have to be appointed by you Fencer.

thankyou for the reply fencer.. so for example, if a big boss rook has become a pawn due to not renewing, is he still the big boss ? are they still able to 'run' that fellowship ?
I wasn't suggesting anything should happen, I was just curious :o)

I would think a pawn should automatically be ejected from the fellowship (not a right as a non paying member to be in any fellowships) and then the next in line rook should take over.
The rank should be set automatically by join date of the fellowship (ie longest serving rook is the next in line) however, this rank structure should be able to be changed by the Big Boss so that he.she can control who gets the reins when they get omitted

Nothing at this version happens.
What should happen? Delete the whole fellowship? Set "big boss" status to another fellowship member automatically? Mark the fellowship is "inactive" until new Big Boss candidate appears?

hmm, helpful, thanks ;-D
genuine question though please.. :)

Two words:utter chaos
