Arimaa / Events / 2025 WC Rescheduling and Appeal Thread |
Jun 27th, 2025, 5:20pm |
| Started by SilverMitt | Last post by SilverMitt |
We are supporting rescheduling games again this year. As last year, forfeits may not be considered final until the end of the round window, in case the affected players value playing a game over a tournament win. (This takes precedence over any conflicting statement on the wiki with respect to the official rules.)
This thread is also for any notes and appeals after a timeout, and for the resumption of play after a forfeit.
Again the rescheduling rules are:
- Both players should post here
- Both players should include the timeslot of their future game
- Other information (such as the game time in EDT or UTC) is helpful, but the game will be scheduled based on timeslot number. Ensure the number is correct, and beware of daylight savings!
- Please make every effort to post here at least 24 hours before the ORIGINAL start time. I will make reasonable efforts to move games on shorter notice, but I can only guarantee a reschedule if I get 24 hours of warning.
Please do not use this thread for anything else. |

Arimaa / General Discussion / Re: Question about Arimaa patent |

| Wanted to ask the same question. Have you reached a conclusion yet? Personally, I see the IP/patent concerns as a relatively minor issue. The real opportunities lie in getting people to join in and play, which could truly benefit and energize the community. |

Arimaa / Site Discussion / Thoughts on posting about Arimaa on Reddit |

Similar to how we've been using Discord in addition to this website's chatroom, we could use Reddit in addition to this forum. Using popular third party platforms has advantages. Discord and Reddit are polished and featureful. Reddit posts may be indexed more favorably by search engines and doesn't require maintenance effort[1].
However, using such third party platforms does have the downside of pulling usage away from the local chatroom and forum.
Here's a new Arimaa subreddit: https://reddit.com/r/arimaa
What are your thoughts?
[1]: Note that this forum seems to be running on a software release from 2003, and YaBB forums doesn't seem to exist anymore.. |

Although it had been several years, I did think to myself "Is this the same Animiral as the Arimaa player?" the first time I saw one of your posts on the OGS forums.
Welcome back to Arimaa. Have you found the Discord server? As you have probably noticed, this forum is usually not very active, so posts here might not get seen very quickly.
If you ever want a game, feel free to ping me in the Arimaa gameroom chat or on OGS.

Arimaa / Events / 2024 WC Rules, Format, and Schedule |

Hi. The WC event may perhaps be created soon. Omar seems to be happy to go with something a lot like last year, which was triple elimination, although it might be good to discuss the time control, where the 6-minute maximum move time was turned on, but still with the high reserve to start.
Also it might be good to figure out exactly which pairing algorithm to use, as I believe I was not aware of subtle differences last year for the triple elims. |
