[Audyssey] Pontes Backgammon
Hi, This has been under development for a while. Before I purchase it, I have a few questions. Are you likely to find many other players on-line? At this point, without registering you can only complete a game on easy. Are the settings for the other games actually harder, more challenging to play? Any known, nasty bugs that I should be aware of? Thanks. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick
I'm using Yahoo classic mail, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually supposed to save replies but is simply bugged. Just before writing this, I decided to see if Yahoo was aware of the problem. If the mail system doesn't have the option of returning the original message along with the message too long email then I think things should just stay how they already are. If the maximum email length was increased then I agree we would just end up with every post containing the past 50 posts tacked on to the end. I was jumping in to give my support to any way that would return the original messages, but if it isn't offered by the program then pretty much the entire discussion can be ignored. Losing the original message is annoying, but that's just how the system works. --- On Sat, 8/18/12, Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com wrote: From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Date: Saturday, August 18, 2012, 1:17 AM Hi Jeremey, That maybe so, but I don't see a solution to this problem. What's your suggestion to resolve this problem? Itseems to me anything we might suggest wouldn'tsatisfy everyone. There would be just as many issues and hassles with the solution =as the current problem. A: We could remove the message limits. The problem is the people who don't have to trim won't. Therefore sooner than later instead of small messages that are 10 KB in size will grow to 100 KB with no end in sight. I've been on lists like that where I could read the contents of an entire thread in one single message, and that's just rediculous. It takes longer to open that message in a e-mail client, takes longer to download, and for people in foreign countries that have to pay for the amount of bandwidth etc they use is more expensive. B: We could double the message length to 20 KB. Unfortunately, we are back to where we started. If someone responds to a message without trimming or whatever and it ends up being rejected because it is 21 KB in size people will complain that it was either unfairly rejected or want a copy of their message back so they can edit it. that's not possible to do through Mailman as far as I know. C: We can copy the original messages into a new e-mail, mail it back to the original senders, which will double the work of the moderators. If we have 10 messages that day and 8 get rejected the moderator gets stuck with returning 8 messages simply because the original poster didn't follow the list guidelines for one reason or another. That's not especially fair to the moderator who does not have to return messages that are disgarded or rejected. D: We could edit and forward messages.That is we, the moderators, could edit the messages and then forward them on to the list. This is probably the only fair solution for the problem for end users but royally sucks from a moderator point of view because we got stuck with all the work. If we do all the work what will convince the list members to make those kinds of corrections themselves when they have the list moderator there to do it for them?

The worst part about the situation is that they were almost always very long posts that took me a while to write. When that happens it's the most depressing thing that knocks you down so hard that you don't even feel like trying to retype it all out again. You know that even if you do, it will somehow turn out to be half as long and only 10% of the quality of the lost original. If we had the original back, then we could make the necessary correction and post it again. please send E-mail to gamers-ow...@audyssey.org. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick
Hi Jeremy, I See. Well, unfortunately as far as I can tell there is no option to just return the message to the sender. It deletes it and sends them a rejection message instead. I think this is because the author's of the Mailman software assume if a moderator chooses to reject it there would be no need for the original sender to revize the message and resend it. Damien and I really have no control over that. As to the entire topic of message lengths Damien and I were just discussing this, and there is a lot of negative drawbacks to letting people having unlimited message size. Not just because most of the messages will have the last 50 messages, but it will eventually slow down how quickly Mailman can recieve and repost messages in the queue. Plus it will use up our months worth of bandwidth much quicker for which the Audyssey maintainer is responsible for paying. Therefore the reasons why we restrict the message length make sense, are reasonable, even if they are not self-evident to the list members. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick
Hi Darren, Well, there are a few good reasons for not increasing the message size to 20 KB. First, is financial. Whoever maintains the Audyssey domain, server, and list will have to pay for extra bandwidth being used by the list. The larger the messages the more bandwidth it will take for Mailman to post several copies of the same message. That cost will directly effect the guy who is paying for the Audyssey domain, bandwidth, etc. That happens to be Raul, but there has been discussion of turning the list over to me so I can just put it on the same service plan as my USA Games account. Therefore the cost would be my responsibility. Second, is that the larger the size of the messages the more time it will take Mailman to post that message to everyone on the list. I realise an extra 10 KB doesn't sound like much on the surface, but is actually quite a lot if you sit down and do the math. For example, let us say that 50 messages are posted to the list on a daily basis. At 10 KB that will equal something like 0.5 MB coming into Mailman. Now, Mailman has to copy and repost all 50 messages to 300 list members which adds up to something like 150 MB in messages going out. Now, let's add an additional 10 KB of length to all 50 messages and watch our output go from 150 MB per day to 300 MB per day. That's something like 9 to 10 GB a month in messages alone. That's a dramatic increase that Mailman has to handle when we can cut that in half by limiting the message length to 10 KB. Finally,increasing the size doesn't resolve the initial problem being discussed here. Allen wanted to know if a message was rejected can he get his original message back. The answer is no, because the software doesn't support that option. Therefore if a message is 21 KB in size and the maximum length is 20 KB someone is still likely to complain about the fact they lost their original message simply because he or she didn't trim the message in the first place. So increasing the length from 10 KB to 20 KB would not resolve the issue being discussed and would add additional problems for the list moderators and maintainers in the process. Cheers!

Hi. Firstly, yes, I have often found players online, especially at times in the evening, but obviously the more people perchice the game, the more online players there will be. As to the other settings, most distinctly! they are harder. hard I can beat sometimes, but expert is really quite difficult, and I haven't yet tried the various alternative modes. In general, pontes backgammon is one of the best put together traditional games I've seen, with lots of features like background ambience, music etc, not to mention laguage packs and even the chance to play with the mouse, and I'd encourage nyone to try it, this one really! impressed me.

Once a message is rejected, disguarded, etc the message itself is deleted by Mailman and is removed from the message queue. There is no automatic way to have Mailman send the message back to the original sender via Mailman that I'm aware of. The only way this might be accomplished is if the moderator in charge manually copied the message into a new e-mail, e-mailed it to the original sender, etc along with the automatically generated rejection notice. The problem is that we get quite a large number of messages in the moderator inbox for approval and more than half are rejected because they are over the message length, and we'd have to copy and e-mail every single one of those back to the original poster by hand. Would you seriously want to do that yourself? The thing is that if we started doing this we might as well make the changes ourselves and then post it directly to the list as there would be little point to returning the posters message for them to correct and repost if we had to do all the extra work anyway. :D Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] unsean help needed
Ah, if it's the one with the stone, you just need to push the stone up a little to the left until it's on the pressure switch, and the gate at the top will open. If it's the stage I'm thinking about the sound in the left corner is the pressure switch that opens the gate, but as you can tell by the gate opening jingle, it'll only stay open as long as something is on the switch, hence the need for the stone. to push the stone, just walk into it, and it'll move one space in whatever direction you pushed. In general, even though the sounds in unseen are often quite cutesy, you do need to pay attention to them, even the different dings and chimes, sinse often they show things that are important. Hth.

Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick
This makes the most sense. I don't think the message length limits actually stop purely legitimate messages, since you'd have to write an extremely long message to pass the limit! The limit seems to be in place to stop emails that are trailing copies of previous posts in the topic, and those are annoying if left in. If we increase the message limit then it would really only be increasing the number of old message copies tacked on to the end of people's posts. On a separate but related note, after sending off that notice to Yahoo yesterday, my sent folder has started saving copies of messages I reply to! Hurray! --- On Sat, 8/18/12, Damien C.

Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick
Hi, Does it cost to use yahoo or google groups? I seem to recall the list got changed from one of these but I don't recall the reason why. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2012 6:32 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick Hi Darren, Well, there are a few good reasons for not increasing the message size to 20 KB. First, is financial. Whoever maintains the Audyssey domain, server, and list will have to pay for extra bandwidth being used by the list. The larger the messages the more bandwidth it will take for Mailman to post several copies of the same message. That cost will directly effect the guy who is paying for the Audyssey domain, bandwidth, etc. That happens to be Raul, but there has been discussion of turning the list over to me so I can just put it on the same service plan as my USA Games account. Therefore the cost would be my responsibility. Second, is that the larger the size of the messages the more time it will take Mailman to post that message to everyone on the list. I realise an extra 10 KB doesn't sound like much on the surface, but is actually quite a lot if you sit down and do the math. For example, let us say that 50 messages are posted to the list on a daily basis. At 10 KB that will equal something like 0.5 MB coming into Mailman. Now, Mailman has to copy and repost all 50 messages to 300 list members which adds up to something like 150 MB in messages going out. Now, let's add an additional 10 KB of length to all 50 messages and watch our output go from 150 MB per day to 300 MB per day. That's something like 9 to 10 GB a month in messages alone. That's a dramatic increase that Mailman has to handle when we can cut that in half by limiting the message length to 10 KB. Finally,increasing the size doesn't resolve the initial problem being discussed here. Allen wanted to know if a message was rejected can he get his original message back. The answer is no, because the software doesn't support that option. Therefore if a message is 21 KB in size and the maximum length is 20 KB someone is still likely to complain about the fact they lost their original message simply because he or she didn't trim the message in the first place. So increasing the length from 10 KB to 20 KB would not resolve the issue being discussed and would add additional problems for the list moderators and maintainers in the process. Cheers!

Hi Allan, As far as I am aware this is because there are over 300 members on the list, and when the list is in one of its heavier moments such free list providers can't process the high-traffic data easily enough to accommodate it, which means some people don't get the messages.

Re: [Audyssey] a huge swamp issue
HI, Yes. prone is experiencing server issues after the last windows update. Please be patient. When you try to connect, it might hang and you will be stuck at 0,0. Try pressing the shift slash key to connect. If you do not connect, press the esc key. If it says connection interrupted, the server is down. For how long no one knows. Just try to reconnect later. Currently the main issue is with messages. they do not come thru as they should, they buffer. It takes something to connect to the server to bring them thru. When this happens, you might get a flood of messages at once. To do this, most people press the shift slash key. But killing a zombie, donating or buying something, or checking the mission list also seems to accomplish the same thing. If you want, you can follow the topic on audio.games.net.

Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick
Hi Allan, Email rules generally only refer to those that are received, and are useful for illiminating spam, categorising emails and the like. I have never yet seen an email client that can apply rules to messages you send. Hope this helps.

I guess the sent folder copies is the way to go. I know someone mentioned making rules for your email program. Is it possible to make a rule that limits a message to a certain size when it is being sent to this list? Just thought I would ask. I am totally clueless about whatever that is. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] X-Wheel
Hi, Maybe, a few fancy features will fit the description perfectly. Beyond that, you'll just have to see when it comes out. Grin.

I have just added it in the code and therefore it should be available in version 2.0 which I am currently working on. Cheers.
