Guest Jlall Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Just curious, how many friends do you guys have marked on your BBO list? I counted once and it was over 200, I'm thinking that kind of defeats the purpose of even having a friends list :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have very few :) I rarely actually play on BBO (do a lot of kibitizing) and am lazy about adding names... I should do something about that, but I doubt I'd ever get over say 30 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 81 in my list but I never see more than about 20 of these people online. Time maybe for some housekeeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 My friends list is getting larger too, especially now that some regular forum members have so many identities. If I can't remember a friend then I just remove them from my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have 86, although there are around another 50 that have notes in their profile but are not specifically marked friends. Perhaps more importantly, I'd be interested in how many people's lists I am on :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have over 200 I think but a lot of them are National level players who I know (or know of) that I like to kib. Its sort of like my black book for kibbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well most of them aren't actually "friends" just people who are usually up for team games and are competent, partners, people to kibitz, friends of friends, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 More than one user has more than 6000 friends. System can only really take advantage of about 1500 friends/enemies (after that, you can mark away but they are not sent to your pc on login) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 6000 friends? What do they do, add everyone they've ever played with or against, except maybe the ones they had horrible experience with, as a friend? What does friendship mean if you're so indiscriminate?

Echognome Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I was surprised when I counted them out. I have 130 on my list which is comprised of: People I know personallyPeople I know from online (usually forum) that I play withPeople I know from online that I like to play with as opps or teammatesStars and Famours players I like to kibxMaybe Justin brings up a point that it would be nice to have different "types" of friends. Don't know how much extra programming it would be or whether it would be on anyone's priority list, but I imagine it would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 wow, 109, thought it was a lot less. But there are a lot of people who I just like to kibitz, not all of them are real friends. That's why I'd like another color for 'people I want to kibitz', but that idea has been blown off in the past. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 127Too much.57 enemies which is also too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 In what sense is 57 enemies too much. In principle 1 is too much but that's just not the way it works. For me it just means "people I do not want to play with for various reasons". These reasons might be:"expert in profile but clueless""rude""quits after bad score""harasses partner"etc. etc. etc. My guess is that there are more than ten times 57 of those, I just haven't met them yet.

helene_t Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Five that I've met in real life.Six regular partners.A bunch of less regular partners (some fifty I would guess).A similar number of opps and TDs whom I found particularely nice behaving.Some twenty-five regular forum posters. A handfull of enemies, all players who shouted at their partners. Player notes are mainly for fake experts. I don't mark them as enemies.

Elianna Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I have 170 names on my friends list. Mainly people I know, a few people I like to kibbitz. Some are multiples (different handles). I have 13 on my enemy list, but that number changes daily. It consists of people that I think drive people away from my table (either through rudeness or ineptitude, but usually if the second, they claim to be expert). Also of people that talk a lot at tables I kibbitz, because this is the easy way to shut them up. And lastly, people that are completely wrong in their post mortems, and subject me to listening to their idiocity. Usually after they've been on my list for a few weeks or a month (depending on how much they piss me off) I'll take them off my list, and leave a note in their profile, to see if they've stopped pissing me off.

Rain Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 There was a very old bug you'll get if you hit too many friends. Whatever that was I hit that. I think 128+ or so. (years ago). Can now adjust friends/enemies/everyone's colours, so change enemies to a colour you enjoy and make them all enemies? :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I only use BBO Vugraph so my list is a bit shorter.1 friend (my husband)0 enemies Roland would be a friend as well, except that he's always logged on, and he's always at the top of the list anyway.

nancylh Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I love the friends/enemies lists. The best thing is that you can see when you first log-on, the friends that are online, so that if you want to play a tourney you can invite someone fast. You see who is there if you want to chat. And the enemies are clubbed at the tourney table, so you can watch out for their antics. And you are notified when a friend comes on line! Like most of you all, my friends list is mostly people I like to play bridge with, but if they were not nice also, they would not be on the list. So a kind of friend :) I think the friend/enemies feature combined with the notes on profile feature are the best additions BBO ever made.

Fluffy Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 When I started BBO was way smaller, I had 10-15 friends and also everyone I foudn from Spain. When that list grew insanelly big I started to delete those spannish guys (who I mostly had as friends to be able to dodge them out, not liking to mark as enemies :)). Nowadays with real friends, forum members, people with whoom you can play a good team match I should have 20-30 online everytime I connect and 200 total (many don't connect even once a month) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
