A lot of players will use a password to protect the game. When you create the game, the opponent has 24 hours to accept once you send the invite, unless there is a password.

Ok....Rule #22 is going to come into play here. Ganguscalm will be allowed to have sitters for his two matches going on.

Once the matches are complete, he will be placed on HIATUS.

If he WINS his match against ElricTheGreat, he will not be immediately promoted to the #2 spot. The Top 10 has been extremely busy lately and we cannot have everyone waiting for a shot at #1 without a chance to shoot for #2 while that spot is frozen. When ganguscalm returns, he will be promoted to #2 at that time.

Also, the 14 day Hiatus period is waived until he comes back.

If ElricTheGreat or gsolo19564 wish to file a complaint/protest, please do so via PM...not on the Forum.

If anyone else has any questions about this, please send me a PM.

Thank you!

A little rearranging was necessary because of Roy's silver status, but nothing we couldn't overcome.
I got very lucky and had first turn in both games and pulled out wins in both negating the need for a third.

I have no problem with sitters taking the turns .. as long as they continue to use his crappy dice and leave their loaded dice behind :lol: :lol:

As a freemium, I cannot use a password. I tried to set up 2 games, but someone else joined them. Right now, I cannot do premium, but maybe in time.

Can you invite? That's how I make mine. I just send an invite right away.

When you get your premium back, do this for setting up the games: Like tam (I think :? ) said, a password should be added. No pw is needed if your opponent just accepts your invite. But if your opponent misses the invites somehow, a pw will keep the game private so no one else can take the now open spot. Then you won't have to remake the games, just re-invite or let him use the pw. I use ladder as well.

You can just add your name to the first player slot (it will be there no matter what slot you put it in) and your oppo's in the 2nd, then hit create. By putting the names in before creating the games, you're done when you push create. Invites are generated automatically... easy peasy. Or should I say eez-eh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST6nEvIEY4s

Oh! dhallmeyer spanked me good in his challenge but I haven't quite beaten tamaynet yet.

If you need help ... next time send me a PM along with the settings you want to use and who you are battling and I will create the matches for you with a PW to make sure it does not get filled by another player

I've defeated tamaynet by a thin margin. No longer need to try harder. I've made it! :o =D> And dhall has dibs right after kicking my butt. Ummm... does dhall's kicking my tail while I was fighting tam for the #1 spot mean that I'm not #1 or anything?

Ok...got the win against tamaynet recorded and you are #1 for now. The Ladder works chronologically and since dhall's victory over you was reported before your victory over tamaynet, you still earn the #1 spot.

Also, a person has to challenge and beat the #1 player to earn the #1 spot (Rule #17). You were not #1 when dhall beat you.

dhallmeyer does have DIBS, so I've recorded his challenge to you and noted that benga can only move up to #4 if he beats dhall.

DIBS is open...

Please note that when you have the above situation, it's possible for the first player to go to kick the other one completely out of GP, causing the other player to say, "gg" before he even rolls the first time. Let's here it for random and going first! =D> =D> =D> :lol:
