Title: newbie problem
Post by chessandgo on Jul 20^th, 2006, 11:56pm

Hi Omar,

With my new account, I challenged Nick, who accepted, but was unable to access the game ... I got the following error :

New players must play 10 interactive games before playing no time limit games. Please select an interactive game.

But the game was 45 sec (unrated, not to mess with potm). What was the problem ? I hope new players have not had this trouble ...

Jean

Dear Jean,

I would echo Adanac's request that you don't play HvH games with different accounts.

It would make future statistics and ratings analyses a little harder if you did, and if everyone did, it would make things incomprehensible.

You are a particularly interesting player from the statistical point of view, because of your meteoric rise, so I would hate to see your record mixed up across two accounts.

hmmmm I know you guys love statictics, but the more I play arimaa, the less I play chess and go, so I thought I would change pseudos and play with the other account starting from august ...
btw lost to Nick :) Who'll stop him from getting "my" potm ? :P

Omar would it be possible to alter his player-name but preserve his player-id in the database?

Up until now I had never noticed how silly this expression is. ;D
