Full Version: Chess tourney coming up!
The chess server has seemed pretty dead to anyone who's signed on recently. This is mostly because everyone signs on at different times, and misses each other. To remedy this, at the suggestion of mingtsai, we are holding a chess tournament this Saturday at noon EST (5:00 PM GMT). It won't be an official tourney or anything -- no one's keeping score -- but it will be more like a chance for people to meet each other. If you can't come then, try coming later that day; chances are someone like yourself will still be there. Instructions for connecting are available here. Hope to see you there!

Oh well, I'll try.
BTW shay, have you ever figured out how to get around the "need newer version" error that some people get when they already have the newest one? I know RC and Lyra were getting that at one point, and found a way around it, but some new people trying to come on are still having it, I understand.
Oh, if anyone's been looking for me, sorry I haven't been around much, I've been up to some other projects lately that take up a lot of my time, so I haven't had a lot of time for chess. You can always e-mail me if you want to set up a match sometime or something, I just don't have the time to search for one.

Normally I wouldn't pass this opportunity up, but where I live, noon @ American EST is about 2am. And considering that I work on Saturday nights as well..... maybe I'll log on at about seven or eight (5pm or 6pm EST) and see what happens.
Everyone who's playing, have fun!

I'd advise anyone who has this problem to ask RC or Lyra, because I have no clue how to solve it.

Just wanted to let you guys know ... Unfortunately, I won't be there. I will at the time be 5 hours away, in Ithaca, NY, due to uncontrollable circumstances. Oh well, I think you'll get on fine without me.

I think we need to do this again next weekend, since Akula, mingstai and I were the only ones there from 12 to 2 Eastern. Anyone have ideas for a better time?

Sorry I wasn't there - unexpected difficulties getting home from a Math Competition (damn slow trains). I dunno - maybe at night, instead of the day?

Agh!!! Like I said, I was away and not observing, and someone back home turned off the tracker just out of maliciousness or something. I'm very sorry, and I will shoot anyone on this end who attempts doing that again. We can try again for next weekend (perhaps later in the day, 3:00 PM EST / 8:00 PM GMT), but I won't be here then either ... but then, I will be in town, so I can check that morning. Sorry once again.
<edit> Hrm?! People actually made it on? How odd ... When I got here, the tracker had been killed. Oh well, that's nice ... </edit>

</edit>I think it died sometime around 1:30-ish. I was playing a game with mingstai (or maybe his brother by then) when it acted like everything dropped off, but the game continued because he was connected to my IP. I couldn't get back on later in the day either, so that's probably what happened.

Apparently the area is suffering power outages at the moment.
