I reverted them to the backup files, but I was unable to change the permissions on the files. They may need to enter their passwords into the logs page to see the games listed.
Fergus, please fix these 2 games that have timed out: Grand Shatranj carlos-joejoyce-2008-303-724 Falcon Chess joejoyce-carlos-2008-303-721 Thanks, Joe
I just took five days off the time used for any move held up by the period of downtime this weekend. Let me know if any logs need to be fixed due to declaring a winner before I adjusted the time controls.
Okay, we seem to be back. Fergus, could you give carlos carlos some time back in these tourney games? Grand Shatranj carlos-joejoyce-2008-303-724 30' 20' ago Joe Joyce has won. N/A Delete Falcon Chess joejoyce-carlos-2008-303-721 30' 21' ago Joe Joyce has won. N/A Delete He should get at least 50 hours back in each game, if possible. Heh, I admit to hoping he'd run out of time, because he was down to 2 days in Grand Shatranj, and not a lot more in Falcon, but having the entire site down for 4 days was not what I had in mind... Joe
No problem with substitutions...if anyone wants to, leave a comment before Carlos sets up games and the switch can be made. Graeme, thanks for making the chart.
No objection from me, Charles. I will try and get onto assigning these games over the weekend.

I am sure my opponents won't mind because this game is much shorter and easier to play.
Based on rankings current as of the start of the tournament, each group looks like this: Top group, playing for the PotLuck2008 Title! Charles Birds (vs Graeme) Stealth (vs Joe ), Titans (vs Carlos) Joe Atlantean (vs Charles), Grand (vs Carlos), Lemurian (vs Graeme) Carlos Falcon (vs Joe), Hole (vs Graeme), Wormhole (vs. Charles) Graeme Circular(vsCarlos),Modern Courier(vsCharles),Save/Standard (vsJoe) Second Tier, playing for pride and a can of corn*. George Altair (vs Juan ),JacksWitches (vs Jeju),Rococo(vsDonut) Jeju Eight Stone (vs George ),Racing (vs Donut), Wuss II (vs Juan) Donut Hammer (vs Jeju), Korean (vs Juan), Rollerball (vs George) Juan Bachelor (vs Donut), Hostage (vs George),Switching (vs Jeju) *In order to receive the prize, one must appear in person at a designated location, which shall be so designated at the completion of this tournament. If anyone has the talent and time to make this part of the schedule (round two, not the can of corn collection part) into a chart of some sort, as Graeme so ably did last time, that would be appreciated. Carlos will offer to assign the games and get them started when he has time. Once he does that, game on. If you find any time goofs in the game settings, report them to Carlos and he should be able to restart the game. (copied and pasted from 3rd courier tournament page, written by Fergus) Time Controls Game Courier has very versatile and sophisticated time controls, and these will be used to time all games in the tournament. Details on how time controls work can be found in the User's Guide. The same time controls will be used for each game. Here's what I propose to use: Pace: 4 moves per week Spare Time: 14 days Grace Time: 24 hours Extra Time: 8 hours Bonus Time: 6 hours for moving within 24 hours Tie-Breaking If two players attain the same score, ties will be broken by the following methods in a topdown order: Buchholz / Solkoff method (Compares scores of all opponents defeated by tied players.) Sonneborn-Berger (Compares scores of all opponents defeated or tied with tied players.) Number of Wins (Wins count as 1, ties as nothing.) Most Blacks (Whoever has won more games as the second player wins the tie.) Good luck to all! Any problems found in any of the above, let me know. Note to Rich: Based on how long round one took...can't imagine there's any way we'll have this wrapped up in calendar year 2008...at least not the top tier.
A belated thanks for the update to everyone. Any idea when this event will finish? I have a feeling it is going to run into the 2009 IAGO World Tour schedule. I would want to get the CV site to be on the Tour again, but events do need to wrap up before the following year starts.
Standings after round 1: Charles 6 – 0 6 pts Graeme 5 – 0 – 1 5.5 pts Joe Joyce 4 – 1 -1 4.5 pts Carlos 3 – 3 - 0 3 pts George 2 wins – 4 losses 2 pts Jeju 1 – 5 – 0 1 pt Juan 1 – 5 – 0 1 pt Donut 1 - 5 - 0 1 pt New groupings: Winners’ Pot Charles Graeme Joe Carlos Consolation (Losers’) Pot: George 2 pts Jeju 1 pt Juan 1 pt Donut 1 pt
Pot Luck 2008 round one is in the books...will try to get a schedule for round 2 up soon.
Hey, Carlos - you should delete the 2 dead games of Graeme's and mine; they're about to expire on time on his move. Juan and I have made twice as many moves in our untimed game as our timed one, so there shouldn't be any problems with it not being timed.
Hi - just got online and saw this comment - no time limits in that game of Atlantean Barroom either, though we are playing it...
yeah, i think i must have forgotten to enter the tournament field for that one...
Carlos, Tournament Filter: [PL*] yields 23 games on the Game Courier Game Logs page - no Atlantean Barroom Shatranj.
Rich,
do you mean this match chart?
The game-names are linked to the rules and I'll be linking the game-results to the Courier Matches today
Carlos,
Thanks for re-assigning my games, all appears to be working now.
i think all the first round games are up now, let me know if anything is missing/wrong.
done! joe, jeju, juan - please move in the new games.
Carlos,
I've created a new ID graemecn and used it to post this message. Can you assign my tournament games to this new ID?
Cheers
Graeme
graeme, i did enter grayhawke... every time. i don't know why it changed it to grayhawke2.
Carlos, I don't mind creating a new userid, but am not sure how that helps. Can't the games be reassigned to grayhawke?
i wondered about that. i entered grayhawke without the 2, but i noticed that the game logs all say grayhawke2. i'm not sure why that happened, or what to do. maybe you could create a new username if it's no big deal?
Carlos, I can view the games but cannot play them. The userid seems to be grayhawke2 - it should be just grayhawke, without the 2.
Cheers
G.
Thanks to the efforts of Carlos Carlos the tournament has started. Good luck to all.
The game is Birds and Ninjas. the ninja guards are normal - they DO NOT HAVE leaping camel move. All std rules EXCEPT one option: each side can drop 4 ninja pawns as per drop rule spec.
most games are up. charles, which preset do you want to use: Charles Birds (vs Donut) you can check on the games by entering PL1 in the games field. counting them, the joe-juan game of atlantean doesn't show up tho, not sure why. for some reason something is wrong with the games involving graeme. maybe i used the wrong username. graeme, if you can't access those games let me know. however, i don't have the power to delete/alter games so i guess i will just reassign them.
Carlos has indicated that all games will be assigned and started no later than the end of the coming weekend.
Can someone please post the complete and final list of games so I can update the IAGO site with the right games? Also, please let me know which chess variant is being played. Would I be right to presume that Stealth refers to Stealth Chess (the Stratego-like) chess game or something else (for example)?
The veto period seems to have passed with a few smatterings, a flurry and in the end all games hold on and retain membership. The results of the cricket were 304 total runs scored, which converts to 214 duodecimals. As a result, we are going with scenario 3. In random scenario 3, alpha2 is match 1, alpha3 is match 2, alpha1 is match 3. Charles Birds (vs Donut), Stealth (vs Carlos), Titans (vs George) Carlos Falcon (vs Charles), Hole (vs George), Wormhole (vs. Donut) George Altair (vs Carlos), JacksWitches (vs Donut), Rococo(vs Charles) Donut Hammer (vs George), Korean (vs Charles), Rollerball (vs Carlos) Joe Atlantean (vs Juan), Grand (vs Graeme), Lemurian (vs Jeju) Graeme Circular (vs Joe), Modern Courier(vs Jeju), Save the Standard (vs Juan) Jeju Eight Stone (vs Graeme), Racing (vs Juan), Wuss II (vs Joe) Juan Bachelor (vs Jeju), Hostage (vs Joe), Switching (vs Graeme) Early analysis of the matchups finds a few interesting tidbits. Only Juan and Donut end up playing a game they cast a veto against. Donut on Jacks & Witches, Juan on Save the Standard 13x13. Joe, on the other hand, cast no vetoes but did allude to a few games he was not keen to play¡¦and drew one of them, Wuss II. Juan and Jeju are drawn in a rematch of a game completed with a Jeju resignation 320 days ago. If anyone has the talent and time to make the schedule into a chart of some sort, that¡¯d be appreciated. Carlos has offered to assign the games and get them started. Once he does that, game on. If you find any time goofs in the game settings, report them to Carlos and he should be able to restart the game.

I encourage all participants and FANS of CV Potluck 2008 to register at: http://chessvariants.wikidot.com/ This'll get you access to the ins and outs!
seeing as we are allowed to veto for any reason at all, i'll go for... circular chess with crooked bishops and queen eight stone hammer chess hostage chess racing kings rococo save the standard 13x13 titan chess
about the rules of wormhole chess: the trapped pawns on d3 and d8 are allowed a single diagonal move to begin. i don't think this is written in the rules.
Randomly assigning games: Each group has 4 players: Player A Player B Player C Player D A is the highest seed, D the lowest. Player A has match 1 vs player B, match 2 vs player C, match 3 vs player D Player B has match 1 vs player C, match 2 vs player D, match 3 vs player A Player C has match 1 vs player D, match 2 vs player A, match 3 vs player B Player D has match 1 vs player A, match 2 vs player B, match 3 vs player C Each player brought 3 games...based on their alphabetical order, game alpha1, alpha2 and alpha3. In random scenario 1, alpha1 is match 1, alpha2 is match 2, alpha3 is match 3 In random scenario 2, alpha 2 is match 1, alpha3 is match 2, alpha1 is match 3. In random scenario 3, alpha3 is match 1, alpha1 is match 2, alpha2 is match 3. All games will start at the same time and have generous time allotments. They will start as soon as Carlosly possible from or after April 21st (if no games are vetoed by 4 players). Which random scenario is used will be based on the following cricket match: Only Twenty20 International Bangladesh v Pakistan at Karachi - Apr 20, 2008 (18:00 local, 13:00 GMT) If the total number of runs scored (combined Bangladesh and Pakistan) results in the numbers 1, 2 or 3 in the ones column, we go scenario 1. If the number in the ones column is 4, 5 or 6, we go scenario 2. If it's 7, 8 or 9, scenario 3. If it is zero, we look at the number in the tens column. If that too is zero, we look at the number in the hundreds column. If that too is zero, than the match was called off and we look at the total number of points scored in the last NBA game to finish on Sunday the 20th. Cricket results can be found at cricinfo.com Any questions??
I veto Saving the Standard 13x13 Bachelor Chess
Juan, here's the preset and rules for Modern Courier Chess - I'll adjust the wiki pointer. Question: Do we want the version with the modern queen or the mann? /play/pbm/play.php?game%3DModern+Courier+Chess%26settings%3Ddefault
Ok, here's comes a veto or three. First though, I didn't see a preset for modern courier chess. Does it have one? Did i just miss it? I'd agree to veto these: Wormhole Chess Titan Chess Saving the Standard 13x13 Good luck all!
I will have no problem veto a game, but I need to read up on the rules first - I am not too familiar with a lot of the games here . I dont see anything I immediately dislike as of now. .
I cast one veto for each of the following: Atlantean Barroom Shatranj Rococo Falcon Chess
Aren't we about to start the 1 week veto process? What happens now? Are we all being gentlemen?
All games have been named. Roughly 48 hours left to change the games nominated. Time for a review of how the tournament will proceed. During the 7 day veto period any player may veto any game for any reason whatsoever. If you feel it is a bad game, if you don't like the game, or even if you love the game, have played it a lot and just don't feel like playing it now. Using a veto is simply a manner of expressing a preference. If you prefer not to play a game, feel free to veto it. If a game you named, or even invented, is vetoed, please don't take it as an insult. In fact, it may have been vetoed because others are afraid to play you in that game...which is a compliment in a way. Reminder...Each player will play each game that they nominated ONE time. They will play it against ONE other player in their pool. Which player they play it against will be determined randomly after the veto period. They manner of randomly setting the matches will be described in a future post, and will involve the results of the following cricket match: Only Twenty20 International Bangladesh v Pakistan at Karachi - Apr 20, 2008 (18:00 local, 13:00 GMT)
The event page: http://chessvariants.wikidot.com/cv-potluck-2008 Is now up on the IAGO World Tour schedule: http://www.iagoworldtour.com/ I will also get the games into the officially registered with IAGO list.
