This looks bad so far. If not at least 7 out of 9 have stated a clear YES at the latest this evening (Tuesday evening) we will not play on Thursday.

Everyone who hasn't said no has said a non-verbal yes

John,

You are mistaken. This is the current status


CURRENT STATUS OF AUGUST 10th

X = can play
-- = cannot play
? = no exact info exists

Code:
        10th     Confirmated the 10th
Absolut    x     x  
Aladar    --     --    
Alistus    ?     ?
Daniel     x     x
FJ         x     ?
Gamla     --     -- 
John       x     ?
labalag    ?     ?
Lyko       x     x

As you can see not even you yourself have confirmed you can play on the 10th.

While you certainly will respond directly I bet 10 to 1 labalag won't respond in time and Alistus and FJ seem to prioritise other activities than ToS so I doubt we will have their response this evening. The prospects look bleak to say the least.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to post something like:

'You need to post if you can't play for these dates. If you don't post, I assume you can play'

And then give penalties if players fail to show up when they didn't say so.

The alternative is that you cancel sessions because some didn't post while you are not sure if they can't play too :)

I think this is a good solution.

FAL and Absolut,

I prefer not, because then some players may book Thursday night and then it turns out we are only say 6 out of 9 perms and thus the session will be cancelled anyway and they may have blocked other nice activities for this hot summer's evening.

The reason for our rule of playing only with at least 2 perms away is that this is a test of skill. We cannot have too many perms away, that destroys the competition.

Further more: since we already have cancelled the sessions of the 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th it would be rather harsch to force people to follow the thread when they thought we had a 3-4 weeks postponement.

If they dont check the thread they have themselves to blame, its in the rules that they have to do it so if they dont, some kind of penalty should be implemented, Im getting tired of people not answering despite numerous reminders. We need to do something about this.

As you can see, if you go back a little, I gave out two penalties the previous week.

Lyko got 1% inflation and labalag 2% for not responding in the thread although they were explicitly asked to do so during the last session. In the case of Lyko it was a misunderstanding on his part (about what he should do) but labalag just did not give a damn about it.

However, in this case we have first said we would postpone the game until the 24th and when having done so I do not think we can force people to follow the thread until shortly before the next playing session.

But I will try and get in contact with labalag on ICQ tonight, or you do it. Although he is neither good at answering ICQ messages.

Oh I see, never mind about this little discussion, everything seems to be in order. :)

I think Daniel is unnecessarily beaurocratic. I for one obviously am able to play thursday, anyone with the ability to read could see from my posts that I was able to play. It wouldn't have been any work to write yes, but you obviously knew I could play Daniel; sometimes I wonder if you are actually a robot ;).

Exactly FJ. We lacked a confirmation, that you could play, from you, we only had this response you quote, unfortunately.
Aha! There you make the wrong assumption that I actually COULD give an answer! :)

Tonio will hopefully do the changes to the power system in a few days. I really look forward to see how the new system works. I have no idea who will gain and who will lose power points, the only thing I know is that the new values will more correctly mirror the power than does our present system.

-----------

And a reminder, the AARs shall as usual be posted not later than early morning the day before the session. i.e. on Wednesday the 30th.

-----------

All well here in Warsaw. Italy are steam rolling the European championships in Bridge as usual. Norway are ahead of us Swedes:mad: But they have really good players so that is no surprise.

The Dutch, a hot contender, and partly professionals, just got blitzed by Greece. Yay! :D Down with the dutchmen. :p

Present standings
1. Italy
2. Hungary (big surprise)
3. Norway
4. Germany (big surprise)
5. Sweden
6. Dutchies
