csdenmark Posted February 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Right Mike - the vast majority of players don't read the table description. They simply assume all tables they jump into are some sort of classical standard. - In reality it is those people we are trying to inform via convention cards and to protect them from what they really don't want. - They tell me so when they leave table after 2-3 hands, thanks for a friendly atmosphere, but from the bridge they are up against they don't understand a word. - On the other hand I also think we ought to encourage them to explore the options players of artificial systems will be able to offer. Your comment led me to wonder why I am promted whether I really want to leave a seat or leave a table. When I jump into a table I am neither prompted nor informed of anything. - How about this, trying to jump into a seat, table description will be displayed alongside prompt for "enter or not". Then all will be informed by a general alert on table description. Claus - csdenmark :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 I have seen many good ideas above. All want to protect those who does not care even reading the sub minimum. Because of bad habit or else, who knows? Forcing these people to make a concius choice is one side of the would be solution. The other side is accepting them on the basis of some info on the applicant. Both needs software development and we are discussing something that will put burden to Fred and Co. Still, it is needed that players fill in some questioner on themselves, that many does not do at all. Look the many empty name field! Further on, the opps have zero influence who will be their next partner, even if the host can accept or reject anybody on a well systemized basis in the future. The only thing an opp. can do is leaving the table. My opinion is that the left alone sitting opponent shall have some means to accept or reject incoming partner! This is not an easy thing. Waiting till opps are ready (while weaker opposition is not against the interest of the average host pair) slows the play. (Sometimes, the same unpatient guys discuss their system intricacies long and longer during a hand, and they are not in a hurry at all.) Again, wishing or advising something that works in random human behaviour environment is a fine balance between goodwill and reality check. What are your opinions?
