Good luck to you all!!
Unfortunately this clashes with the 'Live in London' event run by Mike Main, so I and a few others will not be able to enter. I hope it goes well and will be interested to see the results.
i shall be at the "live in london" aswell. the gammonempire tourney should be postponed!
Hey runnerup!! Great news - will be good to see you again :cool:
Hi Diane
can you give me the exact dates of the london tournaments?
I might consider changing the final tournament date.
Cheers
Friday 10th to Sunday 12th November - you can check out the whole event here..http://www.backpacker-backgammon.com/LiL06/schedule.html (http://www.backpacker-backgammon.com/LiL06/schedule.html)
Allow some time for travelling too - I get back from the Vegas open the day before that starts - and runnerup is coming from Germany to participate in London Live.
If the dates are going to be more compatible I better go check out those satellites... :cool:
Good feedback Diane :)
A technical question for gammonempire....there are two of us at this address who are both backgammon players and would like to take part in this tourney. Is the gammon empire software going to detect two users in the same tourney from the same ISP and stop us both from playing?
I get no joy trying to run the java applet from safari on macosx, just a repeating dialogue about disconnection detected. I get in with the java in firefox on the same mac (go figure!), but then I still do not see the "special event" tab, and the interface seems painfully slow.
The cashier is Windows-only, so I get the use of a windows machine, jump through the excessive hoops, I put in my bonus code but I don't get the bonus, so I'm still not in.
not a good experience.
Hi All
Thank you all for your posts. Unfortunately I'm not a Technical pro myself so all your queries will be forwarded to our tech department and soon as i have an answer from them i will post it. If it's not too hard please use the gammonempire support forum for technical issues.
Cheers
I downloaded the famous software. After a few minutes I got the blue screen of death from Micro$hit.
That didn't happen to me.. was there a special moment when that happened. Did you try it again?
Always the same problem since the beginning !
I have an error message when it starts telling me that it can't open c:\documents and settings\myprofil\Buttons\aaron.copie.bmp :wacko:
Why does it search image in my profil rather than in his particular file in programs Files\fdelfibs ?
This is not about delfibs Tomawaky :happy:

Sorry ! ? :unsure:
Congratulations to Tomawaky who won todays (23/10) satellite.
A question for GammonEmpire:
Obviously I may only win one entry to the real tourney. Do I not, however, still have an incentive to re-enter the satellites to deprive others of an entry? This may seem mean - damnit it IS mean - but it is a cash tourney so normal niceness could be overruled I feel!

Touche.
And I'm sure the bulk of us are.
son unos delicuentes, yo habia ganado una clasificacion para hoy y me borraron del torneo. espero me den un motivo, no me dieron la posiblidad de jugarlo y eso me da que pensar que son unos cagones y estafadores, porque seguramente esos 18 que jugaron eran todos amigos suyos.
Can anyone please translate this for me?
Sure webrunner - the gist of it is an accusation that this chap qualified for the tourney and then couldn't play in the final. GammonEmpire's procedure for entering tourneys is complicated to say the least and I guess xtraterra missed the start of the tourney.
Xtraterra's last line viz "porque seguramente esos 18 que jugaron eran todos amigos suyos" translates as "I guess the 18 players who played were friends of his" (GammonEmpire's I presume).
As one of those 18 players, and with quite a few friends amongst them, I can assure xtraterra that is most certainly untrue.
Translates (for xtraterra) to:
Como uno de esos 18 jugadores, y con bastantes amigos entre ellos, puedo asegurar el xtraterra que es falso.
:cool:
Thanks spiel!
Do you have any more hidden features? :laugh:
