Please check that you don’t have auto-start on from previous settings.
If n<m, the player of Team n whose name appears first creates the game against Team m. For instance, a8090 creates all games involving Team 1, martin3141 creates all games involving Team 2 except the one against Team 1, etc.
** @a8090@martin3141@jlt@_Sofiam@teapoweredrobot please create the challenges and post below when you are ready, so everyone else can come over and accept. Please name the games as “Ogf Rengo tournament Team X - Team Y”. Everyone please accept the games until 2022-06-12T13:00:00Z, so we can start. Of course, if a game is full before that, creator can start asap.
Disclaimer
I copied most of jlt’s posts into a shiny new thread so, you know, if anything’s wrong, blame him.
I created the challenges, but not 100% sure if the komi is correct. So please let me know if I should change some setting.
Specifically I set “komi: automatic” for even games, “komi: custom, -6.5” for reverse komi and “komi: custom, 0.5” for the handicap game.
I have held off joining the Team 2 v Team 3 and Team 2 v Team 4 games because if I join now the system will assign me to the wrong team. I will join after yebellz and Sofiam have joined those respective games.
An interloper has signed into the Team 2-Team 3 game. I have sent him a polite PM explaining the situation and asking him to withdraw. I have also sent a PM to martin3141 explaining the situation. When yebellz shows up, the interloper can be unassigned and left behind, I believe, if he does not withdraw.
Edit: He has graciously withdrawn. I also put a message in the chat to warn off others.
The point is not to provide useful information to the players. I assume that when we use the chat in games we are not playing, then the players can’t read the chat? Can a player who is a moderator see the chat anyway?
