hi, had a terrible time again today, 2 players repaetly called me, 17 times in less then one minute, u know everthing freezes, i want to their table, clicking on very call they made, i before that told them in private not to call gain, still three calls came after that i think we all aware it is then good time to boot the "xxxx"(optional for all td to think a name). I booted them , yesterday already had to cancel when i coudnt cope(yesterday except for one(abusse numbers of calls) they were from different players, today tried everything to not cancle , ending up booting them, after that several told me that those 2 were "roasting" me in the lobby. i turned lobby chat on, saw only one thing blackeye (Lobby): THIS GAME is on FAIR players not Dictators! then i turned it off after a minute, after that others told me to put it back on because they continuied this is what i saw next schammy (Lobby): blackeye perhaps you should play on a site where you pay - let's keep this site friendly and fun member(changed it)->Lobby: who gave him a blackeye ?? so this was seen and notified by others that felt the need to coorect them in public. Now my question is , i have lobby chat off, my co- tds logchat is disabled (he will post a topic asking how that can happen while in his profile says on) does anybody can help me recover that chat so i can send it to abuse? thx marc

and another thing, u sound u have all the answers, feel free to help me out in any tounrey, so for one time , instead of annoiying yourself with waiting, experience yourslef what tdiying is like , untill that time maybe u posting about the moster we craete and us beeing not right doesnt seem right becuase u dont know what u are talking about, so instead of critising and beeing unfair to us(gentil expression, remember timing monster u used ) try it for yourslef and after i would be happy to readress all your sorry and i dint know , and pffff this is really work(u must know i for one trained a lot of tds) to all my friends Another thing, i see here on bbo many onedays flies that apply /get approval to host. Do you thing i can name 30 tds that last? no i cant and believe, im online very much time, i see /hear very much, i train/teach/ help new tds but most dont last, and if u ask me why, becuase out lives are made miserably too often because ampoung others a thread like this i canceled a tourney today, 51 messages basicully saying i undertsand and respect and love u tourneys keep up the good work , thx for all. one called me crazy to cancel, NO WHY WOUD I START SOMETING AND PULL THE PLUG IN BAORD 10 OF 12 IF THIER WASNT A PROBLEM??????????? so maybe right question for me is "do u agree with the 51" or with the other "side, small but always complaining " that cristise me after running somany tourneys for others,i sometimes see more reasons to blacklist people like that the the poeple not as rich(or imposisble to get a faster connection) as u and having to work with a lot less marc, shocked from the start of this thread

hi, mmmmmmmm, do you actually think we woud hold up 400 plaers for one freaquent slowplayer? 1. sometimes we need to put in subs 2.sometimes several are half connected 3.sometimes their is a diifilcult baord 4. when u host as frequent as me u know how many are behind(we got actually numbers of that and the tablenumbers) 5.15 minutes shoud be enough BUT we need to adjust unfinished baords(so we need an xtra minute at least) 6. we actually get calls for non-alert, non explanations, td"finess didnt work" td"why 27% we made 3nt".(this all takes time to handle) 7. really if u want my honest opinion, sorry but dont join if u think that all cant play your paste and that all have your fast connection big 8. we are not alone in this world 9. if i or any td out there coud manage 10boards/75 minutes without huge problems(massive numbers of unfinished baords, skipped boards) we would do it(maybe we ourselves coud play a hand more a day, would be nice) 10. we tds rather host less time if that woud be possible 11.frequent slowplayers are blacklisted 12. BELIEVE ME DEAR FIEND THAT WE DONATE TIME/EFFORTS FOR OTHERS SO A THANK YOU TDS IS ALWAYS THE RIGHT THING 13.if u dont like the tournament format(8 minutes /baord) read tournament rules or info, if not your thing dont sign up 14.sorry again if i sound to hars but your post did sound the same to me and ALL my collagues i think that make efforts/donate time/study/work VERY HARD IN THIER FREE TIME to provide tournaments thank you team spwdo

hi overwhelmed with calls , adjusts and so on(was adjusting still baords 2&4) in round 6 , i saw no other options then to pull the plug , after had a talk with co-td, he only got a few calls(when things are normal we discuss who takes what but no time to do so yhis time), at least not in far so many as me, so i wonder how is it devided, must add only one said im crazy to do that and i got over 50 players aying me , "i undertstand, dont wurrie" , made a couple announcement in front of that that i saw no option to continui, one player managed to call me +30 times, i know can boot him but there simple wasnt time enough, this particuallry player i let in again after 3 months, he probaly needed to make up for the times he coudnt call me in the past:( but besides him it was a huge number, i finnaly took a screenshot and cancelled it, saw now after all this time that u have to click it twice, u get a "do you REALLY want to cancel"sorry all

Making your way in the world today Takes everything you've got; Taking a break from all your worries Sure would help a lot. Wouldn't you like to get away? All those night when you've got no lights, The check is in the mail; And your little angel Hung the cat up by it's tail; And your third fiance didn't show; Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came; You want to be where you can see, Our troubles are all the same; You want to be where everybody knows your name. Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead; The morning's looking bright; And your shrink ran off to Europe, And didn't even write; And your husband wants to be a girl; Be glad there's one place in the world Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came; You want to go where people know, People are all the same; You want to go where everybody knows your name. Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came; Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came; had some disturbing news from other friends, tds as well , so most use my words here very carefully , if anyone knows what is needed for Ece/Steve to return, why not give this small offer and see this as donating to bbo communinty. WE all know the above lyrics and for some time bbo was like that, dont let it slip in to something nobody wants , bbo must stand for relaxation, enjoyement, bounding, meeting, learning, competing, laughing part in bold above slighty edited by inquiry

hi no prob willy, one rule maybe usefull to you coud be allow spychisc(not alertable cause they miss their meaning then since a psychic must be used to set every body at the wrong foot) example ben(inquiry) p in recent tourney spycic with 3♥(he bid 1♥) ben and so did the rest of the table took it for a real bid and raise the ♥ to 2 since he had four of them. allowing pyschics but with this rule, make players inform u as td when they make a spychiv for several reasons, first u learn who bids them, second u learn the bids itself, 3 u are informed before u get the call from opps 4, then u have actaul grounds to stand up in case u want /need to adjust When is a spycic illegal, probaly main reason if when the bid is understsood by partner , so it became a convention, partner and u know more then opps. overall i think u fairly new at directing, no problem , keep trying /learning and remeber even the best at it(not talking about me for sure) make mistakes welcome to the forum , these guys are usually very nice lol, one suggestion, ask opnions /suggestions think most on here are very nice people that help u wherever they can if u ask for it,also use the search button , many things are answered already so a look around woud help u a lot, worked for me marc spwdo on bbo

hosted today a teammatch int.juniors (bulgarian) vs stars&friends(all hoped that this maybe woud make u reconsider) , hope steve and ece will return some time to read this , and can say with Jr flight login i got a zillion supports, question, asking me for a solution(wich i have not) about thier departure, reading thru some of the profiles i see some refusing to play other tournaments till topflight return, whatever u decide stve/ece, know that massive support is behind you marc Jr Flight/spwdo

hi ece/steve as a close friend im not going to ask u to reconsider /change your minds because i believe i have to respect your desision in wahtever u decide , however i can share my sadness and my unbelieve that this had to come sofar, i think some problems have to be kept small when they still are small and be dealt with when there still is a possiblity to work them out/preventing from exceeding. I expressed myslef claerly about the Jr Flight thing and will provide the link in here in case someone missed it http://bridgebase.lunarpages.com/~bridge2/...showtopic=2649# is a pleasure knowing both of u marc

hi, think we all saw /heard what happened, i just sign in to bbo recieved a message. register for tourney memorial steve/ece???? I m very sorry but i cant run Junior flight not without them togheter whith hosting bridge too far/matterhorn and so on so unless their is a way to let both of them get back on thier disision i see no possible way of proceeding as planned :( marc spwdo

Dear Claus, I shall try and write this with an injection of humour to try and partially detoxify some of the venom that may be ejaculated in what i am going to say. Whether it will work or not is debatable! There are very few posts submitted by you that i have incidentally stumbled upon that in some way are not hypercritical (i use the prefix hyper very validly) of the software, either directly or implicitly. I am not sure whether it is your command of English (this i doubt very much as you seem quite fluent when you want to be and you only make a few mistakes - like forgetting that the pronouns God and Fred (peace be upon him) are interchangeable :P ) or whether by writing in a foreign language you lose a certain decorum in how you express yourself and are totally oblivious to what others may read into what you write ... Having read some of the archives (well not that old) it seems that Fred had a rather similar attitude to me and you didnt seem to take on board what he was saying. i felt that i had a rather perverted and misplaced duty to remind you.... I am trying not to be judgemental (seems like on this front i failed miserably huh?)- only asking you to be a bit more discreet. I have read your posts that over and over again seem to suggest that you are either unhappy with the software(forget this one it is timid in comparison) or believe you can do a better job. There is nothing wrong in perhaps occasionally (well once even ) to give Fred a pat on the back (not too hard, dont want to crack his vertebrae ;) ) and commend him for something that others have done with a more selfish and commercial will. I think it is unintentional. If not, then this post is more than justified. If it is, I am just asking you, Claus, to be more aware of how what you write is interpreted by others and that ones use of words and tone projects ones willingness to be a co-operative member of a forum, supported and funded no less by the people you are unintentionally (and i think it is) excoriating... sorry but i have read one post too many :( Alex alex, in the days /moths /years to come can u send me a copie of your texts before posting it so if i totally agree(like this one) i ask u to add my name to it so save some serverspace cause BABY you took the words right out of my mouth(translated anyways) marc

spwdo,spwdo2,toofar1,climber1, and some i dont mention cuase i want some "marc" time too:)

WHERE DOES HE GET IT ROFL

hi, think we have to make a poll for alex to give him a daily columm where he cant write his dialy funstuff so we dont have to keep looking where he is spilling his g.. another ROFL for slothy p.s. just protecting my far supirior poster ranking oppsite of BEGINNER POSTER slothy

hi, just wondering why alex hasnt replie on these lately or has he found another topic to cooment on?

HI SLOTHY, rofl again and u re stalking me it seems, aisha told me same and we already are forming a anti-slothy post group , amoung several things we are asking that u will never recieve a higherposterlevel, or a meter in some kind that compares number of post with actuall post making sense in something, let me the first to tell u we havent discovered a single one yet, remember your bug and your remarks on couple in bridge, we hereby asking your replies shoud be restricted to tds funnies and maybe a new forumplace for you to write a daily comment witch we all will read very amused. when we keep this up members are going to compare us with the 2 oldies sitting above the audience in the muppetshow,waldorf and astoria i think their names are marc

hi yes, fully aware of the several options that can ce used but a player with a red nose isnt displayed in the substitutions list and thefore needs to be typed in manual, this is one of several examples wher u actually have to type in the name player involved marc

hi aisha, i tottaly agree with your replie, as for your question, i think all are afraid what alex is going to say next :D :) marc♥♥♥
