Moderation - paah . Give me radicals any day. You know where you are with radicals. If you speak slowly and pretend to agree with them they buy you drinks.

FIBS-O-NACCI  is made to be very dynamicly moving and action.
It is also made to be ongoing and free to join and leave when you like. 

The biggest problem in the pyramids so far has been unplayed matches. So the NukeBot is designed to automatically take players out who have missed more than a few in a row. It simply removes them from the pyramid (which they would be at the bottom anyway by that time because of all the movement around them) and cashes out their points into Nacci points and waits for them to come back and re-join.  Players are encouraged to leave manually if they're going to be away for a while, though , because becoming 'dead weight'  for a few weeks creates no-shows for other opponents who complain about not getting enough matches and have a headache trying to arrange the match then worry about the penalties they will incur as a result.   So you are encouraged to play and to join and leave and come back freely but because of the dynamics of the pyramids and their movement , we cannot  "reserve"  a spot somewhere in the pyramid and leave you there for several weeks. 

This may seem uncomfortable , but , if you observe the way the pyramids are designed,  in a fibonacci sequence ,  the expansion is at such a rate that any level of depth doesn't get you too far down the ladder that you cannot bounce back with a decent run.  ie.  it expands faster as it moves down so losing your place never sets you back too many levels.  It was intentionally designed this way with the freedom of joining leaving and rejoining in mind, so that the setbacks would never be too severe. 

If you were suprised about being ousted from the structure , I'm sorry , but that is all automatic ,  NukeBot looks for "dead weight" in the tourneys and gets rid of it because it's in everybody's interest not to have a lot of opponents who aren't playing anymore.  This way it is always alive and active and adjusting to the players it does have. 

Most of this is already in the rules so I don't have to spend a lot of time doing the 'admin' thing but I may have been a little sloppy and lazy when it came to writing the rules and structure.  So I apologize if you feel you've been "short changed"  by not being able to hold your place while you were not around , but I'd like to assure you that it's part of the policy and the way things have been intentionally set up.  Hopefully this surprise didn't ruin any of the refreshment that you got on your hard earned vacation.

Good Luck

Thanks
